      Animals are there to be food.

      You think animals are there for a fated reason? Like all animals have a destiny? Because your comment relies on this notion.

      Virtually nobody who eats meat feels guilty about it

      I felt guilty about it and became a vegetarian and, once I leaned about how milk and eggs lead to death and suffering, a vegan. I have been so for 10 years plus now.

      Animals are there to be food.

      Yes, but only in the same sense that woman are there for the plesure and serving of men. It’s a social construction and is, as it thankfully has with the perception of woman, changing.

      If there was a life form that could eat me it would, and I’d have to accept that.

      I don’t think so. I think you’d ramble in about how unethical it is to eat a sentient beeing and how cruel this hypothetical lifeform is. Because that’s how we are build. It’s easiest for us to feel empathie towards our own sorry asses.

      You can learn to expand your empathie tough. Start here. Watch it completely. No skipping. Then we can talk:

      The ones who felt guilty about it in this context have stopped doing it. You must have felt so smart though!

      Ever heard of cannibalism?.. or E. Coli, just get a bit in your blood and it will eat you in no time (aka: sepsis).

      We bred them to be like that tho there were wild versions of chickens. Ever seen a wild turkey? Fuuuuck. Talk about risk if you miss that things taking an eye out. Bovines were easier prey but in the wild would have been protected by bulls, I think?

      Okay, let someone murder you and eat you if they are hungry then. Plenty of people go hungry each year, why don’t we eat each other? Or why won’t you capture and eat my dog?
