I definitely didn't say that. My views on eating animals isn't relevant to this conversation. Just pointing out you're framing the words the previous poster used in a vastly different light than what they said. Kinda like you tried to do to mine.

That said, honestly yeah, if you accidentally kill an animal, use it's meat.

They said they would eat humans if it was legal and healthy so no i wasn't being unreasonable. Also there is no difference between killing a human and killing another animal so supporting eating one and not the other is hypocrisy of the highest order.

There's absolutely a difference between killing a human and killing an animal, but I'm not getting into THAT debate right now.

Correct! They said they'd eat a human if it was legal and healthy. They did not say they supported killing anyone. The specific words people choose are important, and if you're going to respond to something they didn't say, you're at BEST strawmanning the argument.

Edit: amazing to a, thanks autocorrect
