Diabolo96,

Ever heard of the french delicacy named foie gras ?

Kusimulkku,

Banned in my country, it seems

Diabolo96,

As it should be. This thing is beyond animal cruelty.

SchizoDenji,

You do know that pigs can and will eat anything right? They can digest a fucking human corpse in a matter of hours.

Pantherina,

Source please.

No animal eats its own kind. And shit neither, if it isnt because or vitamin B12 or immense stress.

calavera,

Of course there are animals who kills their own kind, you can find it in a quick Google search.

floridaman,

Cannibalism happens all the time in nature? Some animals eat their own children, humans are animals that do cannibalism on occasion, yes it’s fucked up that we are feeding dead diseased pigs to other pigs but lots of things are fucked up too, and saying that cannibalism doesn’t happen in nature isn’t helping to solve the issue here.

averyminya,

You must have never seen a mama hamster.

usernamesAreTricky,

Keep in mind here they are also specifically feeding diseased and infected dead pig

SchizoDenji,

To build their immunity, yes. Sort of like a vaccine.

calavera,

So you eat a diseased meet to build up your immunity right?

dylanmorgan,

Do you want new prion diseases? Because that’s how you get new prion diseases.

AVincentInSpace,

Grats on deciding to go vegan, lmk if you want some recipe suggestions.

also an oft overlooked area is dyes in food and cosmetics, some are derived from crushing arthropods :(

AVincentInSpace,

I didn’t say that

naevaTheRat,

:( but you said you took back your arguments. I assumed you thought it was something we should do from that

ProgrammingSocks,

Humans are inherently hypocritical.

Well we’re capable of being, but most people try to do what they think is right.

I would’ve thought if someone finds this horrifying they’d feel they don’t have a choice but to change the source of their materials. It’s pretty easy to start doing, even if you are overwhelmed with cooking or whatever start learning and just get plant based food when you buy ready meals or eat out etc, stop buying leather belts and shoes and so on.

SimplyATable,

Or just start keeping in mind where your food is coming from. There are places that don’t do things like this

Firstly you have basically no control over that. Any idea where the gelatin in a bag of lollies came from? what about rennet in your cheese? or even the milk?

secondly everywhere is doing shit like this. Profit is the motive, abuse happens. Everywhere goes to the same slaughterhouses and feedlots, chickens all come from the same factories, fish are all suffocated to death in a net.
