Veganism is unnatural because we're all omnivores, and evolved eating both plants and animals.

Impregnating cows this way is also unnatural.

Both can be true.

we’re all omnivores

Except, you know, the vegans.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are still omnivores who choose to limit their diet. Acknowledging that is a choice gives it meaning, which would be lost if it was treated as something similar to being an herbivore.

I am not personally a vegan or vegetarian, but respect the choice to limit one's diet for the purpose of limiting animal suffering.

The posters here are the same types of men who used to argue that enslaved human beings weren’t ‘people,’ merely property to do with as they pleased.

Yes, there are savagely callous, rather unintelligent and spiritually devoid humans who claim that cows - and by implication all other non-human beings - are not ‘people,’ but it doesn’t make it true. It just betrays their own barbaric stupidity.

The argument that non-human animals do not possess some vague set of traits that make humans the only species worthy of being classified as ‘people,’ is small-minded and ignorant, and based on outdated, biased and anthropocentric beliefs.

Cows, like all mammals, are beings who share the same kind of social bonds, care and love for family and community that humans share. They live complex emotional lives. They ARE ‘people,’ just as whales (who have been legally recognized as having personhood), dolphins, elephants and primates, are ‘people.’

Unfortunately we live in a society that more readily ascribes personhood to a sociopathic corporation than it does to living, empathetic beings who nurture their young, suffer and grieve, and deserve to live lives of dignity as much as any human does.
