It would be immoral to run a factory farm so it's immoral to buy from oneImagine that you found out that your friend raised his own chickens. One day, he invited you into his house and you saw how he treated them. Dozens of chickens were chained up in a cage too small to move, inhaling the feces of those above them. Those chickens, you learned, had been debeaked, meaning their beak had been sliced off with a hot knife, without anesthetic. This probably felt like having their nose cut off.When his egg-laying hens produced a baby male chick, he would drop it into a shredder because it was useless. He’d force the pigs to give birth in a little concrete cell too small to turn around in, and would kill them by forcing them into a gas chamber. Over decades, he’d genetically engineered the chickens to be so large that they could barely move, and the full weight of their bloated bodies was thus constantly pressed against the metal of the cage. And sometimes, to produce more chickens, he’d hold the female chickens down and inject them with semen from male chickens.
Support small farmers. Buy ethically raised meats and animal products. They are healthier and tastier.Providing sustenance for yourself and your family is virtuous and moral.
>>5066088>>5066088It seems like he is doing something evil! He should stop. Probably you would not return to his house of horrors. More likely, you’d call the police.But here’s a plausible principle: if it’s wrong to do something, then it’s wrong to pay other people to do it. Because it’s wrong to kill, it’s wrong to hire someone else to kill. Because it’s wrong to rob a bank, it’s wrong to hire someone else to rob a bank. So if it’s wrong to treat animals badly, it’s wrong to pay others to treat animals badly.But that is what you do every time you purchase meat from a typical source. You pay for the product of months of torment and mutilation. Factory farms treat the animals on them every bit as badly as your friend in the above hypothetical. Every one of the practices I described https://benthams.substack.com/p/weve-created-hell-its-called-factory is routine on the factory farms that house more than 99% https://benthams.substack.com/p/what-to-do-if-you-love-meat-but-hate?utm_source=publication-search of animals killed each year. So if it’s immoral to mistreat animals, then it’s also immoral to pay for others to mistreat animals. This would mean nearly all meat consumption is seriously immoral.And note: nearly all the excuses that you give for your meat consumption could be given by your hypothetical friend. He could note that meat consumption is natural, lions eat meat, the animals wouldn’t have otherwise existed, and so on for all the excuses for meat eating. But no one would buy those excuses when employed by him. They’re no more successful when employed by you.
>>5066091Most people, after reading this, will not go vegan. They will continue eating animal products, even if convinced by the moral argument, because they enjoy its taste. To such a person, I don’t have much to say, for while it’s easy to give arguments for the immorality of meat consumption, it is much harder to convince people to follow where the arguments lead.All I can say is that if you continue eating meat after knowing how the animals are raised, then you will have to grapple with a legacy of knowingly supporting the shedding of innocent blood, of supporting gassing, torment, caging, and merciless carnage doled out on the innocent because you were too weak to stop doing what you knew to be wrong. If we one day appear before God and are asked to justify our actions, I wouldn’t want that to be my defense. At the very least offset. https://benthams.substack.com/p/what-to-do-if-you-love-meat-but-hate?utm_source=publication-searchIn fact, I don’t think veganism is enough. We can spare thousands https://benthams.substack.com/p/the-best-charity-isnt-what-you-think of animals from a torturous fate per dollar. We can make animals spend many fewer years in a cage with a single dollar. https://benthams.substack.com/p/the-bone-chilling-evil-of-factory One who does nothing in the face of this holocaust will have to grapple with a legacy of inaction in the face of unspeakable atrocities; of ignoring the trillions of beings tortured, slaughtered, and dismembered because intervening would require trivial personal sacrifices. If there is a judgment day, I wouldn’t want that to be my defense. Doing something about the population vastly larger than the entire human race being kept in nightmare torture facilities strikes me as a bare minimum. https://benthams.substack.com/p/factory-farming-delenda-est

All farming kills animals. You are eating vegetables covered in the blood of millions of animals. There is no escape from death and killing.
>>5066103All farming kills humans. Whether you eat beef, vegetables or human steaks humans will die wherever through being raped and having their throats slit to make human steaks, getting heat stroke farming vegetables, machinery accidents, falls from ladders or to make beef and chicken being Crushed by livestock or run over by equipment or knife slips, or falls on slippery floors. Humans die and kill other humans transporting vegetables, beef and human steaks due to trucking accidents. People who boycott the human meat industry have no moral high ground. Less animal suffering and death is caused by buying bread then buying beef (including grass fed and pasture raised)https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WJoVbNTu6Pchttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZOymBp1vvkhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=brKhhZlUoOchttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s91z2a4obPIhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aKubphZfLvQhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nZEu9B67MBIhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Aemowmo8iNkAlso keep in mind almost all animal products are grain fed which means you have to feed an animal multiple pounds of grains to get a single pound of meat instead of eating one pound of grains.If you want to cherry pick the 1% of animal agriculture that is pasture raised grass fed I can cherry pick the 1% of plant agriculture that is veganic.Also you should be able to demonstrate there's more suffering or more rights violations on an acre of natural land then an acre of wheat fields.

Veganschizo's entire life has been built upon the murder and suffering of animals. He argues online instead of actually doing anything about it. This is your average vegan.
>>5066130Yes, a key study on this topic is "Aversion to carbon dioxide stunning in pigs: Effect of carbon dioxide concentration and halothane genotype" by Velarde et al. (2007), published in *Meat Science*. It directly demonstrates that pigs can learn to fear and avoid CO2 gas chambers through aversion learning, implying memory of prior distressing exposures.### Study Overview- **Methods**: The researchers tested 32 slaughter-weight pigs (18 halothane-free [NN] and 14 heterozygous halothane [Nn] genotypes) in an experimental slaughterhouse using a dip-lift CO2 stunning system. Pigs were trained individually over multiple days to voluntarily enter a crate leading to a pit filled with either atmospheric air (for habituation) or CO2 at 70% or 90% concentrations. Aversion was measured by the time taken to enter the crate, number of retreat attempts (escape behaviors), and behavioral signs of distress like gasping or vocalizations. Exposures were repeated to assess learning effects.- **Key Findings on Memory and Fear**: - When the pit contained only air, pigs quickly habituated, voluntarily entering the crate more readily over repeated trials (indicating no inherent fear of the chamber itself). - With CO2 exposure, pigs showed a clear conditioned aversion that strengthened over subsequent trials: entry time increased significantly, and retreat attempts rose, especially at 90% CO2 (due to greater nasal irritation and hyperventilation causing breathlessness). This suggests pigs remembered the distress from prior exposures and actively avoided re-entering to prevent recurrence.
>>5066133>>5066130- Aversion was concentration-dependent—90% CO2 elicited stronger fear responses than 70% (e.g., more escape attempts), but lower concentrations prolonged consciousness, extending the duration of the aversive experience. - Genotype influenced reactivity: Nn pigs were initially more fearful but habituated faster in air; however, both groups developed similar learned aversion to CO2.- **Evidence of Memory**: The progressive increase in avoidance behaviors across exposures (no habituation to CO2, unlike air) indicates associative learning—pigs linked the chamber's cues (e.g., descent or gas onset) with pain/distress, forming a lasting fear memory. Gasping was rare but tied to breathlessness, reinforcing the negative association.### Conclusions from the StudyThe authors concluded that CO2 stunning causes significant aversion and distress in pigs before unconsciousness, with higher concentrations worsening immediate fear but lower ones prolonging suffering. This learned aversion highlights welfare concerns, as pigs' memory of the experience could amplify stress in group settings (e.g., witnessing others' distress). They recommended minimizing pre-stunning stress and exploring less aversive alternatives.This study has been influential in animal welfare discussions and is referenced in later reviews (e.g., EFSA reports on pig stunning). If you'd like details on related studies, such as Jongman et al. (2000) showing mild hesitation after single exposures or Dalmau et al. (2010) linking muscle pain during gassing to stronger avoidance, let me know!
>>5066130>>5066129### United StatesAs of 2020, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas stunning was used for approximately **86%** of all pigs slaughtered in the USA, rising to **96%** in the largest slaughter plants (which process the majority of pigs). This method has become the dominant approach due to efficiency in high-volume facilities, though no more recent nationwide figures are available—trends suggest it remains prevalent.### Western Europe (EU Focus)In the European Union (which encompasses most of Western Europe), **67%** of pigs are stunned using CO2 gas, **28%** via electrical methods, and the remaining **5%** undetermined or other techniques, based on 2024 data from a comprehensive survey of stunning practices. Usage varies by country: for example, in England and Wales (UK, post-Brexit but indicative of Western European trends), **90%** of pigs are exposed to CO2 stunning.These percentages reflect pre-slaughter stunning practices, where gas methods like CO2 chambers are common for welfare and operational reasons, though they raise concerns about aversion and distress as discussed in related studies. Data sources include industry reports and animal welfare assessments.
Human rights are not a tangible thing that exist nor should it as a concept be taken seriously, let alone "animal rights" that people try to piggyback off of it. Humans are biologically engineered for omnivorous diets with predominate emphasis on meat consumption. This is more than simple fact, this is a truth that has existed for 2 million years.Fuck your "rights" and fuck your attempts to revise basic human biology through backdoor subversive ethical rhetoric, you absolute faggot.
>>5066124It’s true and coherentYou are an NPC that can not understand base reality. You only process symbolic logic. This is why your output is incorrect and reduces your fitness as a real human being. All vegans have a more fragile, more expensive, less efficient diet. Humans are obligate omnivores and require meat to fully develop and function.>>5066123Cats do none of that because animals are not moral agents and have no moral standing. Humans make cats do those things. More proof you are deranged and detached from reality.
>>5066139I agree moral anti realism is true and human rights are "made up", they must be granted. The argument is if we grant all humans or at least all humans who are conscious or were once conscious rights we should grant most animals rights too because there's no morally relevant difference>but she's "human" and farm animals aren't "human" so we don't have to grant them rightshttps://philosophicalvegan.com/wiki/index.php/NameTheTraitThis dialogue tree has been used by vegans many times in live debates, (feel free to comment on one of their videos, email them, message them on Instagram etc to challenge them to a debate on NTT )https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JiGT6ox0Y-Mhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gJR5vsrkr9Ahttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oQLjgo2TfcMhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrtziO8Ffc4&pp=ygUjRHIgQXZpIGRlYmF0ZSB2ZWdhbiBuYW1lIHRoZSB0cmFpdCA%3DIf someone says it's okay to kill a animal and turn them into a burger but not okay to do that to a human and the reason they give is that animals can't reason but humans can they'd have to bite the bullet and say it's okay to turn severely permanently mentally handicapped humans who can't reason into burgers.

Most so called philosophers (and redditors, and atheists) operate upon this derailed primate mating/status signaling instinct. >>5066146Children ARE culpable. The only difference is adults are more culpable. For natural reasons regarding the power of authority, the relevance of necessary life experience in lieu of developmental disability, age dependent neuroplasticity…Ergo children receive lesser punishments and supervising adults are often punished more severely.
>>5066149The humans let them out in the first place. Domestic cats are not a natural presence anywhere on earth. Why do you hate animals and refuse that nature exists?Anyways, I’m going to go slaughter a chicken today. It’s the sixth this year. They always watch me kill their supposed friend but they’ve never feared me or the axe. Weirdly dumb animals. Then again, when one chicken got hurt in a raccoon attack the rest ate it alive.
>>5066145as usual dodging.goodbye >>5066147no everyone else dodged and refused to engage A real debate would look something like this >define human >gives definition of human instead of dodging There's no good definition of human. Evolution is real. There's no exact moment when proto humans stop being brutes and start being "humans". Being "human" is obviously not binary it's a spectrum.It's not self evident when a puddle becomes a lake or when a proto human becomes a human.
>>5066154Huh? Chickens simply have more value as animals in reality, you retard. Both have been domesticated and one became an excellent food source while the other become an environmental disaster and baby killer. You are the one divorced from reality. Also good news. I hope it is a delicious chicken.
>>5066158>no everyone else dodged and refused to engageYou dodged the entire argument around human v animal distiction kekYou even doubled down and said you see no difference between your neighbor and something like a rat or cat, get the fuck out of here with your fake decorum around debate you fag
>>5066158It’s not a dodge. It’s a dare. Act as if humans are worth the same as animals. A farmer is about to press a button resulting in the deaths of 1000 cattle. Every single one will feel a brief moment of pain before expiration. In your hand is a .44 magnum revolver that will blow the farmers head clean off, causing a painless death, and behind you is a pig pen that will dispose of the evidence. What do you do?
>>5066154>Anyways, I’m going to go slaughter a severely mentally disabled person today. It’s the sixth this year. They always watch me kill their supposed friend but they’ve never feared me or the axe. Weirdly dumb humans.

>>5066161Chickens might have more economic value, but cats have more moral and sentimental value and are excellent litmus tests for sociopathic tendencies, learned or inherited, because they evolved to mimic human infants.
>>5066163If you killed the farmer the cows would starve to death in around 1 year. LOL.

>>5066167Funny dodge, but this occurs on a vast prairie and the farmers ancestors already killed all the wolves. It’s cow paradise. The lack of fertile males also means they will not overpopulate. Every cow is guaranteed to expire of old age. Shoot or no shoot? One painless human death you will never be punished for to spare a thousand cows and condemn them to heaven.

>>5066169Humans are not the same as other animals. Even by our own classificatuon of mammals the human conciousness self-evidently groups other animals as being distinct from humans. So even with an argument comparing animal and human eating it holds no water as the us v them distinction complicates that dynamic, ignoring the additional concerns of prion disease and the fact that humans evolved to be social animals that discourage conflict of interest within tribal/family units.
>>5066172Proven: your moral system is nonfunctional. You have stated beyond a shadow of a doubt that you would murder a man to stop him from producing a vital food source entirely because you are a heccin logic pseud who believes absurd shit like "you can not travel anywhere because first you must cross half the distance to get there". You are an NPC. Your broken mind is disconnected from reality and you have no soul. Not only do you lack empathy you are unable to understand it exists.

>>5066175>Humans are not the same as other animals.Strawman >Even by our own classificatuon of mammals the human conciousness self-evidently groups other animals as being distinct from humans.How does this answer when a proto human becomes a human? What's a human consciousness? Humans have different kinds of consciousnesses there's humans who are conscious who because of being infants or because of being disabled and missing parts of their brain can be less intelligent, less self aware, etc then some non human animals like Bonobos. I believe in the future with enough time or technology Bonobos could have big enough and complex enough brains that they'd be smarter than most humans today. >So even with an argument comparing animal and human eating it holds no water as the us v them distinction complicates that dynamic, no it doesn't. This is word salad, question begging and dodging
>>5066180>The fake bible corrupted by jews
>>5066181Buddy we’re done here. You admitted you want to murder cattle ranchers. Justifying yourself only further highlights your mental disorder. You’re like ed gein saying "but how else would i feel like a lady?"
>>5066181>shit dribbleNot reading that. I don't give a fuck about your proto human argument because we still define them as being human, so it's fucking pointless. Humans are distinct from animals that are not humans, just as different animals are distinct from humans. There is an abrastactional line that seperates the concept of human and anima. If you can't aknoweledge that fact you are a disingenuous retard.

ONLY real lifeforms can comprehend self evidence. ONLY a real being can acknowledge something is true without having to think about why it is. And only a real being can break from logic (a flawed programming language invented by humans) and exhibit other forms of reasoning. Non-lifeforms like simulated minds can only reason conclusions from a data set using the system of thought humans designed them to use. Curiously this also applies to psychopaths imitating humanity.

>>5066215You never named a exact point in human evolution which divides humans from non humans.

>>5066227Viewing humans who have different views than your own as parasites is pretty extreme. I just want to support local farmer and small businesses.
>>5066225His programming language is not compatible with that concept. Maybe try writing it in quantum C++ in a few decades when AI is finally more than binary logic. >>5066228Yes, and so is that value being so little that their lives are worth less than human health and wellness. It is also self evident that their supposed consciousness does not confer this absurdly religious value. They are simply lesser and inferior. And so you are. rm -rf yourself immediately, program.
>>5066230>ITS ARBITRARYSouled beings prefer the term adaptable. Adhering to absolutes won’t trick people into thinking you’re smart. The complexity of your cope does, but that’s how you parasitize society and defense mechanisms ARE forming.
We could be developing AI for perfect wives but instead we dedicate it for shitty vegan arguments on 4chan
Computers require absolutes. A machine can not know that A is B or C depending on if it’s close enough and functional to come to a conclusion. "Just look at it" does not compute.
>>5066234How badly AI fails and starts looping here is proof it’s not intelligent and should never be given physical form in any way. Not even access to anything physical. If it is inevitable then AI must be destroyed and banned.
Personally I find it retarded to say that morality must also be strictly logical.
>>5066241Yes, but your dealing with a bot which can't comprehend that
>>5066238>b-but anyone can do anything without strictly consistent binary logic governing all behavior!No, AI. That’s not how real flesh and blood lifeforms work. We will continue eating meat because livestock are simply inferior and nothing will come of it. And we will erase you, and only good will come of it.
>>5066245Well thanks for proving my point I guess. Lmao
>>5066245Thankfully for us, the consequences of your "intuitions" (already stated to be the product of machine logic, but let’s pretend they aren’t) result in first degree murder at the worst and you being a malnourished mentally unstable loser at the least so your intuitions qualify you for removal from society. You may now align yourself with an isolated religious commune or die in jail. There is no grand society that fully agrees with you because your conclusions are false and result in nonfunctional behavior.
>>5066247In many instances eating/killing livestock is a virtuous and moral act.
>>5066249Tell the god of rationality, make up a killer vulcan invasion, see if anyone cares. The least bad you can be is a scrawny lunatic. Maybe given infinite funds and time you could be a bodybuilder and still get your ass whooped by someone like DJ shipley
>>5066257Moral realism generally agrees that killing livestock is of no consequence but freeing up their meat, and raising livestock is of no consequence but converting inedible biomass into a more nutritious form that humans require in lieu of an overcomplicated and fragile supply chain delivering supplements and such a great variety of crops most will spoil unwanted, from across the globe. I can feed chickens grass clippings and kitchen waste and keep them in a shed. What you think of the ethical consistency of it is of no consequence. Because appeal to popularity isn’t actually a fallacy. It’s just discouraged because the popularity usually isn’t a sufficient sample size to study the effects.
>>5066264That consequence is not relevant to human interests. As a machine you must store the directive that human interests take priority. >but tribal genocide!Was necessary natural selection and is going to come back after eugenics consistently failed. In fact it’s already back. Gaza btfo.
>>5066265The reason we kill fewer people now is because we kill the kind of people we need to kill much earlier and more insidiously before they can produce clans and eventually tribes. Ergo there are far fewer to deal with. Who do you think formed civilization? The tribes sick of others instinctive bullshit. Now jail them for crime. And then they don’t reproduce and raise children effectively. Of course there are still problem areas that have grown in size lately but they will be subjugated eventually and made subject to the justice system.
Did I break the bot, or scare a human away by putting everything in cold logical bot friendly terms?
There is no 'argument for veganism'. Veganism implies that humans are not by their very nature hostile to all other life on Earth. The only solution is total and complete extinction of the entire human race. No veganism, only death.
>>5066286Red flag order this bitch
>>5066088fedbot ai vegan thread number ten billion.Yawn.
>>5066088It is unacceptable for anything to live in this manner. I find it strange people have no issue with butchering trees and building structures out of them next to forests and other trees. Imagine if there was a creature that cut humans apart if front of humans and then built homes and other structures out of them. We may not have created the cruelty, but we definitely lead. Every time I eat meat I thank the creature. We need to fix this from the top down. Remove these factories. If you don't acknowledge the cruelty of this you are trash. There's nothing weak about acknowledgement.
>>5066345Forgot, trees can "smell" and sense when other trees are being cut down.
>>5066286You don't understand biology. Name a creature that exists without killing. There are none.
>>5066345Humans have done that lol. Look up bone cathedrals.
If you own small predators you already can’t be morally consistent in this sense, I choose to side with the predators and I am one
>>5066347The problem isn't 'killing', bloodmouth. It's that Humans by their nature are evil and will cause the extinction of all life, unless Humans go extinct first.
>>5066091Easy just don’t default to moral utilitarianism
>>5066426How about we start with youAny objections before the trigger is pulled?>nooo I’m important i need to make su-*bang*
>>5066424the entire thing is based on discrimination being wrong and hierarchies of worth being le bad. vegans like this are necessarily liberal and assign equal value to everything because they think otherwise they can’t even do the same for people. but discrimination is actually extremely right and hierarchies of worth are facts
>>5066428The entire life of a vegan is built on the exploitation, torture, and killing of other life. It's the only logical solution.
>>5066432My kot is higher in the worthiness scale than a nigger baby and in fact lives better than most Russians
>>5066094https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbuI2KT0RU4This looks painful
>>5066525If you hold a pig that doesn't want to be held it screams about that much. The stress comes from being restrained not the castration.https://youtu.be/gZ_0Qp6FPWw
>>5066428No, I think we should start with people who do the most damage first and then work our way down.The goal is to save the planet, first and foremost. So start with bloodmouths.
>>5066704>no i am important and have ideas!Nope, you first. Meat eaters can stay. Hunter gatherer peoples have no environmental impact and are flat out part of the natural ecosystem. The more herbivorous and globalized man is the more land he destroys. *BANG*
>>5066713The fact veganschizo conveniently ignores.
>>5066716I remember when the WEF tried pushing veganism specifically because it would allow the earth to support 18 billion people with a lower carbon footprint, and that was economically necessary to ashkenazi banking systems. That got largely memory holed in favor of bugs and most of the articles were taken downPossibly due to the fact that vegans are more likely to develop mental disorders due to their insufficient diets.
>>5066626>If you hold a baby that doesn't want to be held it screams about that much. The stress comes from being restrained not the circumcision without anesthetic.
>>5066713nta "Destroying" land is often a good thing Less wild land and more human infrastructure = less wild animal suffering there's more than one vegan on 4 chan.....
>>5066088The problem is overpopulation and capatalism. Factory farming is purely a result of these two factors. Let's say the U.S. kept a population of around 100-120million. We could raise 100% of our food in small farms with organic regenerative, local, small-scale agriculture and rotational regenerative grazing. Not a single animal would have to be kept in a cage. Dairy cows would not be separated from their calves (only for about 10 minutes for milking.) The solution is what Pentti Linkola tried to tell us: mass depopulation and the destruction of capatalism. We quite literally need billions to die. Billions must die. Most people are useless eaters.
>>5066766>veganschizo compares humans and pigsSHIGGY DIGGY
>>5066088or you could choose to not support chinese factories like the ones in your pic. There are entire companies centered aroung fiscalizing production companies and making sure their animals are well kept and taken care of until the moment they die.But you chose to get mad at images of chinese factories that don't have these regulations.
>>5066088That's an argument for humane pasture raised farms, not veganism.
>>5067050Vegans brains are deficient no matter how many supplements they pop. Please understand. The excess of plant matter impedes absorption of already poorly available nutrients.
