  • Weren’t we talking about pigs originally? Considering 99% of meat consumption in the US and 90% worldwide is factory farmed, switching the conversation to hunting seems like a distraction at best.

    The reality is that when you consume animal products you’re weighing two things against each other:

    • The difference in convenience/taste you derive from that product over any non-animal alternatives.
    • The life and suffering of a sentient animal.

    Obviously that choice is up to you, and in the absence of alternatives I don’t fault people for doing what’s necessary to survive, but if you have access to vegan alternatives and you still choose animal products, you’re indicating your sense of taste is more valuable than an animal’s life at least.
