    I didn’t follow anything. This appears in my page.

    But I think it is a silly saying. If I eat meat, then I might as well kick every dog I see in the street and shoot BBs at cats, because I am already an abuser anyway?

      Is it more cruel to kick a dog or to cut its throat?

      To be fair, it’s culturally very normalized to just buy meat and not think about how the animal was treated at all. But I also think people who are genuinely opposed to animal cruelty would agree that cutting their throats is a very cruel thing to do (aside from the treatment on factory farms).

      Meat eaters usually lie somewhere between

      • “I’ve never thought about how the animals I eat were treated”
      • “I’d rather not support that but I’ve not managed to break the habit yet”
      • “I’m fine with it if I don’t have to see it”
      • “I don’t care”

      The first two aren’t animal abusers imo, but the last two are.

      Yeeehaw fellow meat eater, wanna go murder some endangered species for our cannibalistic glee? I got plenty spare space on my monster truck once I took those filthy seabelts and pollution filters off.
