    Talked to a non-vegan who thought that just because he was human he could kill othera for his taste pleasure. Weird dude all around tho. Like he had the right to kill an animal just because of species.

    Edit: ah, downvotes from people who feel called out?:)

      I once met a contortionist who could twist any thread to talk about their pet topic, no matter how asinine it was. Talk about entitled!

        Speaking of pet topics, my pet goldfish is really the best goldfish ever. He just slips his way into any conversation at all, much like this one.

      Religious people will say the same. They think God made those animals for us. Cows solely exist to provide us food, so why should they feel bad that it got killed?

      Edit: people downvoting me haven’t had this conversation with a reformed Christian.

        Oh man, I knew one guy who actually said this to me out loud after admitting his family abandoned a cat in the middle of nowhere because they didn’t like it.

        They also had an incredibly overweight black lab that smelled awful. Bad enough they warned me about it beforehand. As soon as I could smell him I knew it was a severe ear infection, it was the worst yeast-smell I’ve ever experienced. They just weren’t interested in taking him to the vet to get it fixed.

        It’s not like this family was struggling money-wise, either. They were upper middle class.
