That looks like a map of Thy.
The hairstyle is a bit different today, but the technology is at the same level.
That does not make animals human.
And my behaviour is wired to you. Just like you are wired to me.
For a minute I thought you might be reasonable, that's why I was willing to engage with you, but now I see that your see just more well spoken than the other commenters. We don't have to agree, but we can't have a dialog when you're just being argumentative and contrary.
I have never said that tradition as a reason for anything. Not here, nor ever. In fact, our traditions have all been continually modified to grow with our values. That's why they prevail. The ironic thing is that you compare me to conservative oppressors when you act exactly like an old bigot who is being confronted with values differing form their own.
I thought we were talking about one food source over another but then you go off about cruelty and torture. That's just ignorant.
And then now you're going to play the indigenous card? If you saw the barbarity why are there so many who still haven't? Are the just all savages?
Your are not better than your ancestors, brother. You were just colonized.
I take your point, and i also don't eat pork. Not because I know a pig, but because of the terrible conditions most pigs are farmed under, and because all pork is imported here.
For me, loving an animal before you kill it is a part of lift. When I was a child, we often took rejected lambs into the house to bottle feed them. They become pets and then they became supper.
And I'd much rather that then only know meat as something you collect at the super market. Even though it would be more comfortable, the disconnect between meat and living creatures that modern people have often sickens me. So I'd much rather eat your neighbours pig than a factory framed one.
My point thought, is that no one gets outraged, justifys harassing people and wished death upon their entire family and country for eating pigs. So in reality, it's not about intelligence and social behaviour. It's about your culture being right and everyone else being wrong.
I haven't tasted chimpanzee but I doubt it's the same. I have tasted pig, which are also intelligent and social, and it tasted nothing like whale.
When your moral arguments only apply when they fit your world view. They mean nothing.
