i’d argue that that’s simplistic
people all have a line; vegans included… we kill yeast to make bread, and people are fine with that. there’s a line between yeast and humans, and we all draw it somewhere… which is to say nothing about the difference between vegetarian and vegan
having a conversation about morals is fine; passing judgement on someone for their alternative views on where the line is is what most people don’t like
my mistake, wiping down a surface with 70% ethanol is equivalent to strangling a puppy. Barkon tomorrow morning it is!
i never said they were equivalent. i said there was a line; to say that they’re equivalent is disingenuous and to say that killing a chicken is the same as killing a human is equally so - not advocating either way, but they are different things
Both are sentient beings who feel pain and we must prevent that from occurring.
