Alternative thread title: pigs that were always supposed to die, died.
I don't buy any of the morality argument. The environmental arguments are better, but nobody ever advocates for open range style farming in these threads. It's always an all or nothing argument. IMO vegans would do better arguing for the reduction of meat product from one meal a day rather than spending time pointing out sentience or arguing for abstinence.
Like this shit right here makes me relfexively want to go eat veal.

As a vegetarian, I would dispute this line greatly. Pain and suffering needs to be put into consideration. They would've died painfully otherwise and I wouldn't wish this on any living thing.

Cannibalism, slavery, aliens.
Just a regular meat thread.

Spouting shit like this is why no one takes Vegans seriously.

Die in a fire; just a bunch of charred remains.
Get rescued, then killed and cooked; men get to eat.
Seems everything worked out swimmingly

I'm sure at least one fireman there is thinking how fucked up this is lol
You saved a life only for it to die later on, and now you get to eat it's corpse.

Not until we get synthetics baby!
Animals cant respect my rights to the same extent a human potentially can. So fuck no, they arent comparable.

That's some damn fine work.
There was a very clear point at which you should've stopped and you blew right past it.

No it doesn't and wait you would rather a human die of cancer than an animal is reared for food? You sicken me.
Seems like a fitting way of saying thank you.
It's just my two cents, but after reading this thread if your goal is to actually get people to eat less meat then there are much better arguments to make then trying to say it is like slavery or calling people scum. Though I suspect that for some people that goal is actually just to get up on their soapbox and make themselves feel morally superior. Hopefully sometime in my lifetime i can enjoy a nice tasty piece of synthetic lab grown meat and not hear about how I am some kind of monster and destroying humanity. Then again I wouldn't be surprised if I hear arguments from some of the same people about how synthetic meat is not natural and an abomination.

I'm certainly implying or begging for the discussion about mammals, as they're our closest relatives. If you value being human, I think there's a discussion here.

thanks guys

Animals are not humans. They never will be. To equate them as such is ridiculous. That's not to say we shouldnt treat them with kindness, but your comparison is stupid.

Guys, why are you reflexively getting angry at the slave comment?
Like, unrelated to the animal situation, that not only actually sounds like what you'd expect slave owners to have said, I'm sure I've read the exact quote. Come on, whatever you think of the pig topic, the line he's referring to could be straight out of the mouth of any white guy in the south 200 years ago.. Or at that rally last week, whichever.

The comparison it's no acurate, but not stupid. Just beacause the mayority of humanity always ate animal meat don't mean equate them (with human life, not slavery) is ridiculous.

Would they have sold them as scratchings if they had not been saved in the fire, this is the important question.
I'm sad that some pigs died, but don't see the issue in this situation. If they were not to be killed, and were killed to make food for them fair enough, that would be grim, but these were always going to be sausage...and scratchings.

Yes it does.
Bacon and sausages are processed meats. Processed meats are bad news.
