long-time vegan here, this argument is as old as time.

is it ethical to kill? no.

do humans need meat to survive? no.

is animal agriculture equivalent to slavery? yes.

if you eat meat, deep down inside you know you're supporting: murder, rape, entrapment, torture, and slavery. that includes eggs and milk.

bonus fun fact: pigs are smarter than dogs

Why is it inherently unethical to kill and eat animals? Let's say I raise some free range chickens on my land, consume their eggs and occasionally eat one. Why is this unethical?

I'd argue it's unethical to kill animals inhumanely or to force them to live so long they suffer like we do with many pets

Exactly, I do just this with my dogs and these fucking militant vegans always be on my case.
