Plenty of sentients' that haven't even entered their stone age.

    So your proposal is that chimps and lions are going to stop eating meat when they enter their stone age? In spite of the wealth of evidence to the contrary?

    I'm okay with expecting better of people, but there is very little that humans do that other species don't. Eating other animals is just one of them.

    No that's not what I proposed at all. Nice straw man though.

    In spite of the wealth of evidence to the contrary?

    Source you fucking dweeb XD

    I expect better of sentience too. After all it created veganism in the first place.

    All this to say, very few animals practice agriculture and none have left the stone age.

    Well, let's back up. You said that meat eaters were the scum of the earth and that humans don't show up in nature documentaries. Not all meat eaters are human, but you aren't modifying your statement, so I'm left to conclude that lions and chimps are also scums of the earth, or that only non-sapients don't get a pass, since sentience is a bar that scientists believe many non-human animals rise above. Source. If there is a straw man here, it is created with your very own words. I suppose I would have to include the stone age, too, but at that point we have both redefined terms and moving goalposts.

    You could have modified your witty edit of the parent post to be "meat eating people are the scum of the earth" at any time, but you insisted on defending your superiority, right down to the name calling.
