A pig didn't say they would die for you. It was murdered against its will and then you paid the killer to kill more.
Same as people do/did with other attrocities throughout history. Now you know where you would've stood.
Unlike you, I am familiar with the pig government and we actually have an agreement that we eat their death row inmates. Crime has never been so delicious.
Okay but actually they grow up in cages and never see daylight. Their tails cut off without anaesthetic.
So yeh.
You're buying from the wrong farmer. Family farmers care a lot more about their animals than factory farms. Just another reason to buy local.
It is a strange way to care about someone by sending them to death. I wouldn't leave this people rise children. Or pigs. Or any other individual.
No pigs go "oink" silly or when they're scared they go "SSSSSSQQQQQQQEEEEEEEE-SSSSSSQQQQEEEEE-SSSSQQQQEEEEEE"
And...?
Are you telling me that you eatpork as some sort of... preemptive revenge? Because even in a hypothetical universe where pigs are top of the food chain, it would still be wrong to imprison and kill them. Which is why doing this to tiger/lion/bear would also be wrong in our universe.
Weird comeback.
I truly AM great at parties. I'm loud, funny, cute and get REAL drunk. What's not to love?
lol personal insults means you know your argument sucks
Seitan pigs in a blanket are flippin' great. I literally serve that at parties. 😂
It's called 'buying pork'. They don't kill them for fun and just happen to sell them afterwards.
That's just useless semantics, neither funny nor clever. The pig you bought may be dead, but the money you pay will be used to raise and kill other pigs.
the pig was slaughtered in the past, before I walked into the store or decided what I'm eating this week. everyone involved was paid before all that, too.
It's actually irrelevant whether or not you buy a product made from slave labour, the product is already made! How much product is made is completely independent of how much gets purchased, because that's how markets work!
Assuming what I think you're assuming, now I want to hear this story of pig assassination.
I didn't expect to find any vegan message in this "pure carnist" meme post. This was the #1 comment in the post, that's awesome!
A thing which dies for your meal. What they grow in the lab is living tissue, a mass of living cells.
Only eggs haven't died for us. Fruits and seeds definitely died for us too. Cheese is complicated.
Animals died to get eggs and cheese. Also the animals that are giving milk and eggs will die when they reach a certain age. Also I wouldn't consider being in a cage 24/7, never seeing the sun, a "life" exactly.
Sure but the eggs haven't died for us. They aren't fertilised either so have no chance of becoming a chicken
That's like saying you don't mind buying blood diamonds because diamonds are just a rock. Of course they contributed to death, but in essence they are just a shiny rock.
No, it's like me saying diamonds are minerals.
You are thinking too hard. I never alluded to eating eggs or cheese being ethical or not. Cheese is complicated because of the bacteria that makes it, not because it came from an animal.
Ah I see, things dying for us is completely free of ethics. Silly me thinking too hard.
Oh I guess my comment does look like a vegetarian shopping list. My point was that even though many vegetables 'die' for us, there are things you can harvest without killing the plant/animal. Not as a moral stance, I doubt anyone cares more about carrots dying than cows and chickens suffering.

Fun fact: Gas chambers are often used to kill pigs. You can hear their screaming from outside the facilities as the gas burns them to death from the inside out.
This is common practice.
It is plenty likely the victim in the picture whose mutilated corpse is very disrespectfully converted into sewage by now was gassed to death.
Stop trying to invoke the holocaust when talking about animals. Pigs aren't people. Jews aren't animals.
Nobody has said anything about the Holocaust or the Jews. This is standard practice of killing pigs.
If you want to have a conversation about this topic, I would like to highlight that we are animals too (just a different species) and I don't think there is any moral difference between our species and dogs or pigs when regarding killing, even when I know about our differences because at the end of the day we are just individuals we clear interests in avoiding suffering and death, and byproducts of pigs are just unnecessary to consume and cruel to get.

Hey I'm still a good catch. Because I never lied to you. I never told you I would die for you.
Jesus Christ is better than that girl (or guy) that said they would die for you Jesus Christ did actually died for you. Jesus Christ's love is real.

None of my random killings have been illegal because of my handy dandy notary public
It was a wearable button, with a pin to pin it to a jacket. I'm sure they still make these things.
