I mainly kill animals to enjoy the silence that comes after.

Damn mosquitoes sound annoying AF!

[-] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

Also they're so damn noisy. You'd think their parents could shut them up, but human babies just like to scream.

You're going to steal my blood and annoy me while doing so?

For real, dead animals taste amazing when you grill them

[-] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

You should try dog if you get the chance, Elwood dog farm has a low impact factory farm where you can buy Labrador cuts and some gamier breeds if they're in stock.

I actually respect vegans that are vegan to prevent the suffering of animals.

I get it. Grew up farming. Chicken houses are an industrial horror machine.

We've recently bought a play farm and hope to raise or hunt all our meat. Only the slaughter and butchering of steers will be outsourced. Takes some serious equipment to handle an animal that large.

I'm an omnivore by evolution and enjoy meat and hunting. I'm always a little sad when I kill something, however. I figure that sadness means I'm human and is a good thing. When I eat meat from something I killed, it means more. There is a lot of respect involved in it as well something like religion.

If more people had to kill their meat, we would probably live in a very different world and there would be a lot more vegans.

I agree with your overall post, but you have the conclusion backwards.

The closer you are to hunting or slaughtering the more it's just a normal part of life. I've never met a vegan when I grew up in a rural area around farms, only after I moved to the city and it's almost exclusivly people that grew up in the city.

And yet, when it's people, there's a problem. Such a double standard 🙄

Hey, speak for yourself! Some of us take communion…

[-] [email protected] 52 points 10 months ago

99% of humans have the complete opposite reaction when the animal in question is a mosquito.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

Mosquitos are almost parasites and are vectors for disease. It’s a pretty different relationship we have with them.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Yeah, we don't like competition. Fuck other parasites.

Ok but idk if the flying atrocities that are mosquitoes deserve a title as high as "animal" tho

Killing the animals because the Metroid speedrun is faster.

Oh hey, a 1-day-old account posting 6 vegan posts in 1 hour to unrelated communities. I’ve seen this one before.

[-] [email protected] 52 points 11 months ago

Hey! I made this content and was made aware of Lemmy by a friend two days ago. I decided to join and wanted to enter with a bang by sharing some of my OC.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

Welcome and thank you for posting oc.

I do actually like to see mosquitoes die.

Specially when they are running away with MY blood.

want to see a westerner have a full on tantrum? Suggest to them that their actions are not always morally neutral

I would join vegan standards but I still wait for the "eat the rich" part. I mean who would do it? Those vegans? no. This is a job for meat lovers.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago

Eating the rich is vegan, as they are not sentient and don't feel pain.
But please stop paying for animal abuse

I grew up on a farm, I've killed and slaughtered my own food my whole life and I always felt good about eating meat because of that fact.

As I get older I'm really starting to hate killing things, I don't want to end a life at all. My couple of vegetarian days might turn into a whole lifestyle.

The trick is not to kill them yourself, but have factories and animal farms do it while deluding yourself into believing that there is a humane way to killing a living being when the reality is there are only less painful ways. Also, from the other side of the aisle, the trick is to delude yourself into thinking that animals would have any problems eating and preying on you. If cattle had no place in human society, their numbers would significantly decrease. What does that say about human societies with large socioeconomic disparity who are treated by cattle by the rich as they get increasingly automated?

There's no point to this comment, it has been released into the wild so that it may be free.
