serious question from a meat lover and animal lover:

if your focus is to reduce and eliminate animal suffering, why is the ideology focused on getting random people to not eat animals? why not focus on lobbying for change in local state and fed gov? i mean really, why focus on the symptom when you could be dealing with the problem: humanity not being symbiotic with nature. your leverage to solve your problem is weak anyway.

does every specie in the food chain (all the thousands and millions of them) kill their prey (those that do) in a non suffering way?

are you aware that our brains very well may never have evolved this way if not for a huge increase in meat consumption a while back? if you are, how can you justify vegan or vegetarian lifestyle when it very well could mean the devolution of our specie in terms of mental capability? are you aware of health problems related to not taking in all protein chains needed for a human to live?

and my most serious question:

i assume all living things may not be sentient, but it is in the nature of nature that through the cycle of life there is suffering. every light casts a shadow. if you believe we should not eat meat, how can you justify eating plants or fungi?

if we ought have sentientbeing rights, not just human and/or animal rights, would you not include plants? in otherwords, how can you justify standing up against causing the suffering of one specie on earth, and not another? are you just focused, and do care (i read the tree question response), or are you missing entirely the bigger issue? humanity has failed to participate in the cycle, thus there is suffering unneeded. seen a lion take a gazelle? would you have that lion be a criminal for eating the gazelle?

i mean really, not to invalidate years of work, but it sounds like you have no idea what the hell you're doing or why you're doing it; you've wasted your time. find new meaning in life

how bout stopping the extinction of species by humanity? well which is worse? killing off an entire race or enslaving them to unneeded suffering?
