>>39228408
That's precisely it, the burden of choice is self-imposed dependent on our lifestyle. Many human lifestyles eat both meat and vegetable. It does not matter what you eat, it barely matters in the grand scheme of things. Both plant and animal are life forms, so either way you are consuming life to sustain your own. Nature has no morality.
>>
>>39227779
In Tchernobyl species that were thought to have been driven away have come back. Nature is thriving in a place bathed in radiations because human activity is no longer present. If you truly want to be moral, ethical and responsible, you'd argue for mass decrease of population. Being vegan will not save the planet or the animals, especially if this the only thing you do while still consuming electricity and consuming mass produced products.
Veganism is useless and I even suspect it to be the useful idiot of liberal capitalism. Decrease is the only sensible choice for the planet and nature.

>>39227779
Because it is perfectly natural and healthy to eat meat. Some vegetarians and vegans are less healthy than meat eaters because of inadequate protein intake. Those who do, in fact, eat healthy vegan diets don't really have any added advantages those who eat healthy meat diets. only in life style do vegans and vegetarians have the advantage because they tend to watch their caloric intake and tend to exercise more, so you can take the healthier diet bullshit out. On the fact of morality, I do not agree with you fully. I agree that it is wrong to kill another thing without reason, but in order to feed it is fine. It is found within ancient human diets that they ate meat to survive. It is natural to eat meat. So why should we change what is natural for the sake of what a few call moral? Many animal activists believe that animals are equal to humans; vegans will often say the same, citing thought experiment after thought experiment of false equivocations. The fact is, although animals and Humans endure suffering alike, humans have achieved conscious levels self awareness. Animals do not have that. Humans can therefore process death and feel more intensely the threat of death. Humans should not be killed because of the threat of ending conscious experience. There is no threat of ending a full and vibrant experience with an animal.
>>
>>39227779
The difference between eating meat and rape, is that rape isn't socially accepted and available at the store for 2$.

It is a false equivalent, because if the above were true, guess what i'd be doing :^). It's also bullshit that being a vegan is healthier for humans.

As is eating meat.

Let's talk instead about why you shouldn't go vegan:
>you become a pain in the ass for anyone planning an event because of your self-imposed dietary restrictions (end result being you either go hungry because they forgot/didn't bother, or you simply aren't invited because they feel uncomfortable eating meat around you)
>people hate being invited to your events because you won't serve animal products (and will either subvert your preferences by smuggling, or just decline your invites)
>xenoestrogens
>by not publicly eating bacon/pork/ham regularly, others may begin to suspect you could be a terrorist
>vegans will count your decision as a personal victory (and we cannot let them win)
>others avoid you because they assume you will frequently rub your veganism in their face
>meat-based meals taste way better than vegan meal
>animals will not thank you for it anyway (they really do not give a shit)
>vegans will not thank you for it either (because you're only doing "what your supposed to do")

Except that a lot of the animals are actually treated appallingly, they are couped up in small spaces and are force fed food non stop so they are fattened up. They are then cramped together in the back of a truck and taken to an abattoir where they are herded together and slaughtered.

This is a spooked, rather than a non-spooked position. Stirner never advocated hedonism - he was advocating freedom from the various manipulative lies and ideologies which seek to control the 'self' from outside. Stirner clearly doesn't think of the 'self' as synonymous with animal appetites.

Speaking for myself, it isn't in my self-interest to pursue pleasure for pleasure's sake alone, let alone to contribute to the suffering of other sentient beings simply because I might enjoy the taste of them.

The self cannot be separated from reality, nor can the self reasonably be defined without considering questions of the well being of others.

You've literally turned spook-busting into your own spook, where the interests of your belly somehow overide the interests of yourself as a considerate, empathetic, responsive human being existing within a reality that precedes you.
>>
>>39229307
If you can impart purpose upon other animals and since you're an animal which you admit dies anyway by your own logic I can determine your purpose to be to die for my pleasure and thus kill you justifiably.

>>
>>39229682

In Genesis, after making man - God specifically prescribes a VEGAN diet. He also prescribes the same for animals, implying that God's ideal for man AND animal is veganism.

Later in Genesis, God grants Noah permission to eat meat - directly after a flood. This could easily be read as implying that God had never granted permission for anyone to eat meat prior to this point.

In the same moment where God grants this permission, God promises the animals that an accounting in blood will take place.

God cares about animals.

I don't really want to get into a huge religious debate, but I'd just point out that most people read this as "the royal we", in other words most Christians read this as as strange linguistic form used simply because the God of the bible is seen as so powerful. Personally I read it as implying that man and woman as a gender relationship are a sort of image or reflection of this creator.

Is not even the fact that they dont eat meat, if that was it i couldnt care less, but they are allways for some reason the sjw sociopath type who didnt grew out of the kindergarten phase

Responsible i agree

I think people should be able to eat meat, however the meat industry is sickening.

It's eco destructive, costly and unhealthy

It's truely disgusting how we breed fairly intelligent animals and mass slaughter them grind them up chop e'm into neat pieces and package them for display.

>The distinction is made at sentience.
but why? the distinction is also subjective. Personally I make the distinction at an animal being able to create civilizations, structures, and language. You can make a subjective statement, and I can also. all in all the vegan diet is a choice and trying to prove it is "morally" better is pointless as it isnt, because morality is subjective.
all it shows is that we have different morals, not better or worse.

Not only is this an appeal to nature but it's also wrong. Humans only started eating meat regularly after agriculture began. It's also not evidence.

Doesn't make it part of their diet either. What one eats REGULARLY is the definition of what one's diet is. You're also ignoring that meat is unhealthy and is strongly linked to the development of numerous diseases such as CVD, CHD, IHD, cancer, etc.
>>
>>39231938
>Then morality is entirely pointless and it's completely justifiable to kill you because I feel like it. Laws are pointless authoritarian bullying too.

Im glad you brought that up, because youre right, if your morals were different enough, you could kill anyone and justify it morally. Morals are just subjective guidelines for the way you live your life, your community and environment shapes it, but nothing dictates it but you. And laws are almost like community decided morals.
If morals are objective, wouldn't some other creatures exhibit them?

When you make a claim you have to back it up with reasoning. How does the objectivity of morality rely on all animals possessing morals?
>>

You're a backwards baboon

You're acting all Darwinian but you don't even realize that survival of the fittest really means adaptability not strong.

Also morals are important and it's the reason we come so far in the first place.

By your logic we'd be extinct already.

Even animals care for eachother, you don't understand the complexties of animals or humans.

You mistake predatory behaviour for normal dynamics

This isn't rocket science

The truth lies in your soul

If your soul tells you the torture and murder of innocent animals is justified because you want to feel the sensation of indigestion for a few hours, that would make you a complete piece of shit in my book.

When I became a vegetarian as a teenager I lost all of the fat that made me technically obese, and although I'm 53 years old I'm healthier than any of you

I thought you could follow the logic, however I will explain. If morality were truly objective, wouldnt all sentience life tend to the same moral set, because it is the "objectively right" one to have? Why WOULDNT animals process these morals? Why are certain humans the only ones? Wouldnt humans themselves tend towards this moral set too, for the same reason?

>If morality were truly objective, wouldnt all sentience life tend to the same moral set, because it is the "objectively right" one to have?
You're yet to explain how you're coming to this conclusion.

>Why WOULDNT animals process these morals?
Because they're only slightly less intelligent than you. Philosophy is beyond them.

>Why are certain humans the only ones?
Intelligence. However this doesn't stop animals from practicing moral behaviour unintentionally, only conceptualizing and actively pursuing moral behaviour.

>Wouldnt humans themselves tend towards this moral set too
Humans do tend toward morals. This is why laws exist and why your teachers thought it was wrong when your bullies harassed you. You're not making a point here.

How are you relating this back to all animals must have morals for morals to be objective? Animals have no understanding of gravity yet its existence is an objective truth. By your logic an animal failing to understand gravity or practice physics renders it a subjective discipline. You're a brainlet.

WHAT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE WENDY SAYS:

2: MEAT CAUSES COLON CANCER, VASCULAR DISEASE, AND A HOST OF OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS MANY OF THEM FATAL

3: IT HAS LITTLE TO NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE

4: YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN BE EATING MEAT IN THE FIRST PLACE. GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY EATING, LIKE CONNECTIVE TISSUE

5: MANY OF THE PROCESS IS USED TO DEFEAT THE DISEASE AND BACTERIA AND PATHOGENS IN FACTORY FARMING LIKE AMMONIA BATHS ARE COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AGAINST CONNECTIVE TISSUE

6: DISEASE IS SO RAMPANT IN THE FACTORY FARMING INDUSTRY THAT THEY HAVE TO PUMP THE ANIMALS FULL OF RANDOM ANTIBIOTICS

7: EVERY TIME YOU EAT MEAT YOU ARE INGESTING AND UNREGULATED RANDOM DOSE OF ANY GIVEN ANTIBIOTIC AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHICH IS CONTRAINDICATED AND DESTROYS YOUR BODY'S ABILITY TO FIGHT OFF BACTERIA

calling me a brainlet doesnt prove the argument wrong!
you are misunderstanding
everything obeys gravity because it is an OBJECTIVE truth of the universe. As far as we know, everything obeys this truth. wouldnt then, all living things all obey the objective truth of morals? they dont however, so the rule doesnt work. You are also misunderstanding what morals are.
>Humans do tend toward morals
of course they do, because morals are how you live your life, your subjective beliefs and behaviors. for example, some people would believe killing another person is ok is they killed first, like the death penalty . Some people think this isnt ok. This is a difference in morals, just like vegans and non-vegans.

Because I don't share the I live a 90% vegetarian 10 % carnivorous diet.

If being a vegan helps you cope with some of that crushing human guilt, good for you. To each his own way of coping, but the moment you take some moral highground over me to try to pressure me into changing my ways, I'm no longer listening.

I'm vegetarian because my roommate is. Not ONCE did he ever even encourage me to make the transition, he just went on with his vege life, merely showing me the health and financial benefit of balancing your diet and I followed put inspiring myself from his example. In contrast, here's my vegan friend. Good kid, but she's fucking obnoxious as fuck with her moral principles, she's 23 and already she thinks she's got it all figured out over everyone else and she won't shut the fuck up about how the world sucks because it's not how SHE would want it to be, so you can guess that every of her incredibly redundant vegan rants only makes me want to eat more animals.

I respect the choice to be vegan, but mych like any progressivist modern ideologies, I can't stand the fucking people who won't shut the fuck up about how everyone sucks and how much better they are than everybody else, because let me tell you what I think of you vegan pieces of shit. You are always insecure as fuck, anxious about your existence in the world because you were raised in white suburbia, away from the actual struggle you love to point to when you want bleeding heart cookies, so you need some form of religious like dogma to cling to in order to validate your existence because you can't deal with hiw cruel the world. You can't accept your place in this world as just some other sack of flesh, so you need some form of soap box to stand above everyone else.You're not vegan because it's better for the world, you're vegan because it's your best platform for intellectual and moral circlejerking with other idiots like you so you can spend days hating the "meat eaters".

Animals wouldn't spare me the pain if our roles were reversed, but as a sentient, relatively intelligent animal myself, I am aware of the fact that I can eat an animal without torturing it. The quality of the food it yields improves if it is well nourished and suffers minimal stress. That is tangible proof that compassion has a place in nature, along with the fact that some of the most successful life forms on the planet are eusocial.

It's irresponsible to claim a moral high ground because the very foundation of society (which nearly all of us benefit from) is built on the backs of other humans who suffer. No sensible person would virtue signal on the internet using a device made by exploited people. So most can not, and will not. I don't think that vegans in real life believe that they are better than other people, but having something you strongly believe in constantly treated as a joke is frustrating to no end.

My problem isn't with the way of life itself, which I strive to apply to my own, it's with self-important pieces of shit guilt trippung con artists like you who would rather force people to think like you do rather than encoyrage through example and let people take the decision by themselves.

Who are you to cast aspersions and claim that all vegans are as bad as one another, or that all of them lack empathy towards other people? In general, vegans are vegans because they have the capacity to empathise with humans and see the similarity between animal consciousness and human consciousness.

>virtue signalling

This is just a meme term to dismiss anyone who makes a moral claim. There are vegans who aren't vocal about it, but you're never going to meet them because they don't mention it. The vegans you interact with are the ones who are speaking about it - and they have every right to express a moral viewpoint.

You're manipulative.

False equivalence. Human needs and desires always will and should come before that of lesser animals. First and foremost is our need for continued survival which is impossible without consuming something that is or was alive.
And yes, animals are delicious as are some plants. What does it matter which one dies for my continued existence? It's possible to have a healthy diet with or without meats, though it's far more difficult to survive without.
I'm not complicating my life and denying myself what I like just so some unintelligent sack of meat (I mean lesser animals, not OP) will live longer.

But if you want to get sand in your vagina over the cruelty and absurdity of existence in general, have fun but don't drag others into it.
While you're at it, shed some tears for all the plants used in making your clothing/furniture/housing or perhaps for the countless millions of LIVING bacteria that your body is killing right now.

I sure hope you have something to support this claim. In my experience, people who are vegans are often people who like attention and treat veganism as a hip trend to follow. And not unlike a hip trend to follow, they want to socialize and diversify them from other people. And since empathy towards animals is seen as virtuous, they use that for some extra feel-good points. Hence virtue signalling.

Also societal trends and their perceptions are formed by the active and vocal.

They are vegans because it's hip and cool to fake moralists, they don't give a shit about the suffering of plants.

>>39234137
I did not know that fact. It is interesting and certainly raises some questions about the applicability of veganism on a large scale. I think most of the damage done to the environment simply comes from an overpopulation of humans, and sadly that is only looking to get worse in the coming decades.

Same for you. I never became a vegan because of it being 'hip'. Who the fuck even thinks that way? Even the most annoying vegans i've spoken to are just overly righteous about it, rather than in it for the hipster points. Dismissing all vegans, and avoiding becoming a vegan yourself because some vegans MIGHT be doing it for instagram followers makes you pathetic. It's also pathetic to characterise most or even any large proportion of vegans this way.

I know tons of chill vegans, but, in general, when it comes to, say, social gathering, I only meet one amongst 10 who is not a hippie circlejerker who preaches on and on about muh empathy while using a dehumanizing term such as meat eater to more easily be able to shit all over them without having to think about the fact that he's belittling other human beings. You are right, not every vegan should be put in the same basket, but I understand why they are because my own vegan to vegan experience is the same as his. I guess that's what happens when you primarily hang around downtown hipsters coming from semi-bourgeois white suburbia who are dying to find the next trend to feel superior over others. I don't know, maybe I'm too much of a fence sitter. I get accused of that pretty frequently because I never wanna involve myself with groups of people I share values with because I share values with most of every group, but it might just be me, but I feel like there is a rising sentiment of totalitarian elitism in almost every groups of people who are reunited by a common value or cause and I hate seeing things in black and white. For example, there was this butcher downtown who, for 2 months straight, was the victim of heavy vandalism from vegans and when I tried to make the argument that such actions changed nothing and only contributed to putting someone on the street, they proudly declared that he deserves it, that I'm a traitor for taking his defense and that nobody should care about "someone who contributes to the meat industry.". Someone even advocated stalking him to his home to carry the vandalism there too. Forgive me if things like that makes me want to completely dissociate myself from vegans as a group because I don't want to spend my entire life justifying myself and saying "Oh I'm not like THESE vegans. This is why I no longer invest myself in any group or label. I'd rather shut up, keep to myself and lead by example.

To be a vegan is to shed your earned right as a superior species in evolution, to be able to relate to inferior species.

You're so pathetic, weak, and a failed representation of humanity that your ONLY weapon is a weak set of moral codes (which hinge on being accepted by dissenters) that say: "I am superior because pain is bad. I choose not to inflict pain, therefore I am superior".

1) I reject your notion of superiority
2) I reject your notion that pain is bad.
3) I reject your notion of superiority

Now you have nothing. Since you're a vegan, you're also powerless. There is no such thing as an alpha vegan.

As long as meat-eaters exist, you'll always be an afterthought. That is, until cannibalism becomes a thing. Then vegans will be my first choice, because they are less likely to fight back due to malnourishment.

Supplements DO NIT absorb into our systems

In fact, in sewage treatment plants everywhere, hundreds of millions of vitamins are found totally undigested, in their whole form...

These supplements simply do not absorb into our system but they sure make millions of dollars for their manufacturers to refrain from telling you about their ineffective qualities...

As far as Vitamin D goes.. the vitamin D in milk is actually obtained from the Sun and is stored in the cows... Similar to the way we try to obtain protein from cows who have stored it from eating grass

However there are many parts of the world where do to Elevation and other attributes the sun doesn't actually deliver the vitamin D to us and many people are deficient in particular black people

Actually I wasNOT 'homeless'
I was renting from a sheriff's department deputy... However, she was replacing the air conditioner unit and all the kitchen stuff (refrigerator and stove, etc)

I told the arresting officer that I was "technically homeless" for four more days, when I was moving back into the apt with my wife

On March 4th, a Dunkin Donuts employee tried to STEAL my badass 6" phone while she was on duty, wearing the Dunkin donuts uniform.. I never 'left' my phone there.

I called the police and demanded they obtain the video to show the theft

The employee tried to hide the phone in the men's room while I talked to the deputy outside

We found it in the men's room garbage can, under the plastic garbage bag, now with a cracked screen

For two weeks I tried negotiating with the manager, to no avail. I wanted the repair fee ($100) paid. I threatened civil litigation, with punitive damages ($25,000 small claims court)

Finally, on March 20th, I had enough. On the way to the courthouse, I stopped off at Dozier Law Firm to ask an attorney if writing an out of court settlement was legal. He assured me it was COMPLETELY LEGAL...

five minutes later, I was charged criminally for practicing my right to seek civil remedy in a civil courtroom.

This is unconstitutional

But they dropped the charges

I'm out

And I did my time like a man

ANY QUESTIONS?

by the way, I didn't 'NEED the money'...

I had $4,410 in my bank account

I allowed my wife to access these funds while I was incarcerated so she'd have a roof over her head...

but there was no reason why 'I' should pay the $100 repair fee, because I didn't break it...

I'm not even validating this with a (you), but there's a reason many if not all vegans need supplements (AKA fake proteins and amino acids) with their diet, and it's not because they're taking them for fun. Human are by definition omnivore, and therefore need meat and greens to survive.

Look, I'm not arguing for a full-on steak-and-butter meal every time you get hungry, but denying basic high school science is downright idiotic and short-sighted. It's not only evolutionarily beneficial to eat meat, it was downright required by our ancestors, grandfathers and everyone in between.

Also, all those fruits and vegetables have to be grown somewhere. Which means large sections of native ecosystems are completely destroyed to make room to grow them.

I'd rather be a monster for eating eats steaks every day than a monster who contributed to the extinction of rare and endangered species.

Some animals are more self-aware than some humans. Grown pigs are more intelligent than human children below the age of 3.

This is an argument for vegan or vegetarianism. I've yet to hear any compelling arguments for veganism specifically.

>but even egg-laying chickens and dairy cows live in inhumane conditions
Not always. You can research dairy and egg brands before you purchase them. Animal rights groups do exposes on farm conditions all the time, so there's a greater general awareness of where these practices are occurring and which brands are safe to trust.

Animals, as in non-human animals, are not human. There's no reason to apply moral equivalency. Slaughtering a cow doesn't harm a person's social standing since there's no threat of him slaughtering a fellow human.
>>
>>39231615
The reason why animals eat shit is to ensure that their digestive tract is properly colonized by beneficial bacteria that A: keeps their immune system strong and B: helps digest their food. This starts when they are infants, such as the koala who needs the beneficial bacteria in order to gain as much nutrients out of eucalyptus leaves and possible. It then simply becomes a habit that they carry on with their entire lives.

We humans do not need to do this because we gain all our beneficial bacteria from our mothers skin while nursing. And even if we didn't. We can simply purchase probiotic yogurts when we get old enough.

So no, all of the health risks that come with eating feces aren't worth it due to being able to gain the exact same health benefits somewhere else.

Are humans more important to you than an animal? Between saving a random human and saving a random animal, would you always save the animal? Yes? Good, we've established that human lives are more important.

Which means whichever meaning we give to animal lives past this point is arbitrary. Which means neither side has a leg to stand on. Which means you're just being a preachy little shit for the sake of it and don't actually have any objectively valid points.

>>
>>39241832
>What do we have that makes us so high above all the other animals?
Spoken language, rationality, consciousness. A large number of things, actually.

>Or does being human just magically mean that every little part of us is infinitely more important than any animals'?
Yes, the species barrier is a thing. You take care of your own.

Inb4
>b-by that logic then racism is valid too
No. Species, not races.
>>
>>39241883
Humans aren't rational, all animals are conscious, and plenty of animals can communicate.

>You take care of your own
We can take care of humans without having to slaughter animals the way we do.

What's your obsession with species? Again, why does it make such a big difference? We all feel suffering the same, animals are intelligent and they are capable of realizing they're going to die just as much as we do. Slaughtering and torturing animals hurts them physically and emotionally the same way it hurts humans, so why should that suffering be incomparable to your pleasure?
>>
>>39241978
>Humans aren't rational,
Delusional

>all animals are conscious
No they're not, do you even know what that term means? The only animals that are remotely aware of their existence are chimps and even so, it still hasn't been proven

>and plenty of animals can communicate.
And none of them communicate via a spoken language whilst we have thousands of them, all of which equal in complexity which suggests it's a biological thing exclusive to our species, why are you missing the point?

>We can take care of humans without having to slaughter animals the way we do.
And we take BETTER care of humans by slaughtering animals since the pleasure of eating meat is what most humans want.

>What's your obsession with species?
Every human being inherently acknowledges that their life and every human life on the planet is worth more in general than a random animal's life. That's why species is a valid standard to go by.

Beyond establishing that humans are superior to animals, everything past this point is arbitrary and so are the arguments that both sides make, this is what I stated like two posts ago. You're just too clueless to see that your points are just as valid or invalid as a meat-eaters'.

>so why should that suffering be incomparable to your pleasure?

It's an arbitary barrier. If animals are smarter than humans they are worth more. If a chimp is smarter than a mentally impaired person, then that chimp should be afforded more rights than the mentally impaired person.

Psycho and behavioural economics shows that humans are, in fact, not rational. For example cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, etc. You're delusional.

conscious
adjective
aware of and responding to one's surroundings.

All animals are conscious. Is English not your first language?

Dolphins communicate vocally, in clicks and whistles. There are recent studies showing that they have conversations just like we do. I must be missing the point because I fail to see how our spoken languages makes us so superior. There are animals that can run faster than us, there are animals that can fly, hear better, smell better, and there is a huge amount of species that can communicate with each other. Why is the emphasis here on spoken language? Again, we are also animals, and there are animals that can do incredible things. We learned how to make bullet proof vests because of spider silk. We learned how to make airplanes because of birds. Does one trait make them superior? Is any animal truly superior? And if our species really is truly superior, why should we still prey on other animals when we don't have to?

We really don't take better care of humans by slaughtering animals the way we do. Pumping animals full of hormones and antibiotics, it's no wonder things like red meat are linked to high cancer rates. Factor in the environment, like overfishing, and the incredible wastefulness of the meat industry, which causes things like the pfiesteria outbreak, and we are not taking care of humans at all.

Not the philosophical meaning.

>Dolphins communicate vocally, in clicks and whistles.
Not a spoken language. Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

>I must be missing the point because I fail to see how our spoken languages makes us so superior.
I don't know, how about you look at human civilization and ask yourself if spoken language isn't the main reason it exists?

> Is any animal truly superior?
Not the point. Of course no being is objectively superior. The point is that humans perceive them as superior. EVERY human does, otherwise you would give animals the same rights in a human society as you give humans. Again, you wouldn't prioritize saving a random animal you knew nothing about over a random human you knew nothing about.

>We really don't take better care of humans by slaughtering animals the way we do.

That has nothing to do with the ethics of killing animals and everything to do with the conditions of the meat industry. Irrelevant to the point, you only need to know where to buy from, or just produce your own food.

It is based on my principles. Pleasure can never outweight pain, only wisdom can outweigh pain. As such, only the gain of wisdom can provide justification for suffering. If there was only pleasure and pain, then I would subscribe to anti-natalism.
I therefore know, that is wrong for animals to suffer so other animals can feel pleasure.

Veganism is impossible to live off of. You need some form of animal-based food one way or another. Even if you take supplements, those are taken from animal products.

Trust me, I wish I could be vegan but that's not the way humanity evolved. We are omnivores, and unless you can figure out a way to instantly evolve humans into herbivores on a massive scale, that's not changing.

What's the difference between our rationality and an animal's? We're both equally slaves to our own biology and instincts. Even you, since you apparently don't have the willpower to go against your own tastebuds, you're a literal example of an irrational bias.

>There are Africans tribes that communicate in clicks and whistles too, and they are human. Arbitrary point.
No, they communicate via a language which happens to include and be made of clicks and whistles. A language has rules, that's why we classify bee dances as a language, dolphin communication does not have rules, thus it's not a spoken language.
>>
>>39227779
I'm not vegan because I enjoy meat too much, it's not that I think it is an sufficent excuse, it is just that I openly accept that contradiction in my morality and eat meat anyway.

Also I don't get veganism as opposed to vegantarianism, I get not eating meat since I understand that sentient creatures have the right to live, but I am not convinced by the argument leveled by vegans that any kind of agriculture or domestication of animals is slavery. We collect products from animals that are naturally produced by them and in return we provide and fulfill their biological needs with food, children, shelter, and medicine. This attitude is reflected in nature and biology with with neutral/beneficial coexistence between many species and this behavior should not be excluded with humans and cows, bees, chickens, etc. Keep in mind that this is not an argument in favor of animal abuse, which I do not support.

Language is necessary for complex thought. The so-called 'language part' of the human brain is very well developed, but you could also call it the 'abstract thought' part. The two go hand in hand. It also has the benefit of allowing us to compound our knowledge and become physically smarter through exposure to language during our formative years.
I don't dispute that animals can suffer, but they cannot suffer to the extent that humans can. Simply because they cannot be as aware of their suffering as us.

I don't know enough about the brains of killer whales to comment on that, but there is no doubt that orcas and dolphins are among the smartest non-human animals.
However, when an animal lives in the wild, it does not develop the same kind of self-awareness we gain within civilization. Being feral is much like being on auto-pilot, even a feral human wouldn't be conscious in the same way as you and I.
>>
>>39244583
Well they're not exactly in the wild. They live together in pods, which I guess you could equate to a tribe among humans. Scientists have actually discovered that orca and other whales' calls vary from pod to pod, implying that pods develop their own dialect. What people in this thread are failing to realize is that, just because we don't know about animals and their languages yet, it doesn't mean that they don't have them. The field of study is very new, and it has a long way to go.

That's true, but the vast majority of meat isn't from cows allowed to freely graze. Even then, the slaughtering can be pretty brutal.
