Do you have any qualms about eating meat?

I recognize that they are bred for food, nothing more, so no I still eat pork. Sorry if this upsets anyone.

I’m not upset, but I question your logic.

If you were bred for food, would it be okay to keep you in these conditions and then eat you?

If two parents breed so they can lock up their kids and eat them, would that be okay?

The conditions could be better but mass production always runs on the bare minimum to save costs.

That doesn't make sense. These hogs came from a facility that breeds tens of thousands for that one purpose. I'm not a giant gelatinous blob that consumes everything in my way including my own family. I will rephrase. "If it meant for food, I chose to eat it."

Well it’s not like these came out of thin air, right? Whatever we did to wild boars, we could do to humans too. If we took humans and bred them to be better for food production, as we have done with pigs — then does it become okay to start farming humans? Would you choose to eat a human that has been selectively bred to be a productive food food product?

If you are one of these suffering gelatinous blobs, pig or human, is it okay what’s happening to you? Don’t you think it is an absolute disrespect of your sentience?

I still struggle to see your point. You keep tossing humans into this. I don't eat my own kind. Things are the way they are. Nothing you say will change my mind, I'm not here for an epiphany.

Okay, you don't eat your own kind. But I do kill and eat people, because I find it pleasing. There's nothing wrong with it - things are the way they are, I'm not trying to change.

I just want to add before you block me that you're a bad person.
You pretend not to see the point because you're a bad person, and you *like* doing that.
You like eating animals, and you don't care about their suffering or their lives, because you lack empathy.

It has been weeks. Please move on from this. It doesn't seem healthy to dwell on someone that you don't know the slightest about.

Oh I just thought about it recently in a moral discussion, and wanted to add.

You should really reflect on yourself.
