It’s baffling that “Hey maybe hamburgers aren’t worth kilometers of cows chained with their face in a feed trough. Arranged this way so that the only activity they can engage in is to gorge themselves on low quality feed frequently filled with bits of other cows (backfeeding). Maybe they like have feelings and deserve better than this followed by a dehydrated wait in a death line in some artificially lit temple to screams and blood and horror?”
Is talked about in the same language as “Invisible sky person is deeply concerned about your masturbating habits and you are going to suffer for it!”
Just curious, do you not see how that would frustrate someone who is not vegan? If your goal is to be confrontational, that little speech definitely hits the mark, but if you’re not, perhaps reflect on the preaching.
Personally, eat what you want to eat. The more vegans and vegetarians around, the better those food choices will be for everyone.
Why would it be frustrating? It is just true. There’s no personal attack there, I’m not calling someone anything. It’s just reality, if you eat hamburgers that is what happened to get it to your plate. If you don’t think cows have feelings it shouldn’t bother you, if you think cows have feelings but they don’t matter very much it shouldn’t bother you, if you do find it bothersome to think about but eat hamburgers that’s on you not me.
Quite seriously, either you are ok with what you do or you are not. How is talking about it frustrating or confrontational?
I don’t feel bad when I prune a tree, and if you talk about rows and rows of fruit trees being pruned and how they’re slathered in nutrients and watered heavily to produce fruit before a harvester violently shakes them I feel neither confronted nor frustrated. I have no reason to even slightly suspect that treatment is wrong. Surely if feedlots and slaughterhouses are morally good or neutral I would at worst seem vaguely silly.
Ok, so I’m sure when you pick up your iPhone you’d love to have someone tell you how much abuse and suffering so many steps in the supply chain involve from the raw material harvesting, terrible working conditions to assemble them, etc.
Just pointing out that what you are doing is the literal definition of preaching. Not sure why you are surprised.
Why do people call it preaching?
