It’s pretty horrifying. I never thought about the raw number, but millions of animals tortured and killed every day is astounding. Hundreds of millions. Future generations are going to look back in horror.

Yep, and there's a bunch of us who are looking at it all in horror right now, it's why vegans feel a sense of urgency about the situation.

[maipen]

It’s not. We have needs. The problem isn’t that we kill animals, but rather people like you have no respect and are privileged to have been shielded from having to participate in hunting animals all your life. We live in abundant times, in terms of food (atleast in the first world, because i rather kill and eat 10 cows than eat a dog like some people do)

[maipen]

Eating your veggies has an environmental impact too. You are contributing to killing of rodents and many other beings that are a threat to crops. But you only fancy cows so they don’t matter right?

[AnotherHuman]

Who do you think most crops are fed to? That's right, animals! Eating more plants cuts out the middle man and causes less deaths.

This is a somewhat oddly defensive reaction. Did you feel personally attacked by someone sharing their feelings?

I mean, we could try to triage issues and work on them in sequence, or even in parallel.
