Hey all you modern-day meat eaters out there, raise your hand if you've ever actually killed an animal.
No one?
That's what I thought.
๐ I've hunted deer, gutted and skinned them myself too. The tenderloins are great sauteed, and the rest of the meat is good ground (just don't cook it as long as hamburger, it's more lean).
If you haven't realized yet, vegans dont care about hunters.
Factory farms are hard to make an argument for though.
I'll give it a shot anyways, to play devil's advocate.
I only buy a vanishingly small percentage of the amount of meat produced by factory farms every year. So I feel the same percentage responsible for perpetuating that system, which isn't nearly enough to keep me up at night.
Hey we can all just work to be better versions of ourselves, and theres a lot of ways to make progress. Considering I'm the only vegan in my family, I likely buy more meat than you do.
Its really just important to me that people dont allow themselves to stop growing mentally and morally. Its sad when people behave like they have all the answers to everything already.
