[tagging for prey drive for those whose âtypes are generally considered âlivestockâ (so, sheep, cows, chickens, pigs, etc)]
cannot fucking BELIEVE i just saw a post saying this but??
being a vegan/vegetarian/even pescatarian alterhuman doesnt fucking make you better than those of us who eat meat on a regular basis???
also some countries actually have fucking standards for their meat production???
âif youâre not a vegan/vegetarian as an alterhuman, you deserve to go to fucking hell!!â is such a privileged and US-centric take
like iâm GLAD you can afford to supplement your iron and protein intake with expensive things that donât have meat in them. iâm GLAD youâre taking a stand against cruel farming of cattle, chickens, pigs, sheep, etc etc, because from what iâve seen, most countries have little to no regulations on the welfare of livestock
but not all of us are wealthy enough to afford supplements. sometimes, meat is the ONLY WAY we can get all our nutrients to be healthy
additionally, some of us actually live in places where there are STRICT welfare regulations for livestock!
i literally help raise the stock that goes into my own meat products. i help my motherâs ex partner and his family on their cattle farm. i KNOW that our cattle are WELL looked after. i eat the stock that i helped raise, and i eat that meat in confidence knowing that those animals had a GOOD FUCKING LIFE
they had all the fucking grass in the world to graze on, they had clean water, they were washed regularly, they had acres of land to roam. those cattle are not the same as the poor, sickly animals shut in warehouses in other countries.
do not fucking push your life style onto others.
i donât shove brisket and chicken drumsticks down your throat, so donât fucking shove your tofu and rocket salad down mine.
vegans and vegetarians are not fucking inherently more moral and better than those of us who choose to eat meat.
