I get the point you're trying to make but if people ate whale the same way we ate pig the entire ocean ecosystem would have collapsed by now.

Not to mention almost all whale species are on their way to being endangered right now, while factory farmed pigs aren't.

Maybe just go with the line all meat is murder rather bacon is worse then whale flesh lmao.

We did almost hunt whales to extinction, but it wasn’t meat we were hunting for, it was their oily fat.

Exactly, most people don't actually like it that much.

I don't have a problem with people eating meat. I eat meat. I just don't like the way it's farmed what I'd propose is a largely vegetarian diet punctuated by fish or wild meat every so often. Like fish twice a week and venison on Sunday or something. As for whale, it's not really commonly eaten in many places and as long as people don't take too many, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

~~Harm free~~ cultured meat isn't murder and it's meat

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I don't think harm free cultured meat exists yet.

And where does it say this is harm-free? This requires a biopsy on the animal, which is inherently not harm-free.

I was obviously replying to the meat is murder part by bringing up that cultured meat can be produced without murder now. It's not commercially viable yet but it exists so not all meat is murder. I forgot how nitpicky vegans can be and why I never engage with those communities.

I am not vegan. Love how you're moving goalposts, suddenly harm apparently means murder. I forgot that the some of the worst redditors moved to lemmy too.

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
