    I’m up for it but only if it’s a threatened species of wild chicken

        I don’t eat meat, but I really don’t understand how people like you expect to insult people into not eating meat.

        Have you ever been insulted into doing something other people want you to do? I sure haven’t.

          You can eat meat, just don’t be a hypocrite about it and pretend you’re better than other people eating meat because your meat lives in pain neck deep in their own shit before you kill it

            Cool, so anyone who eats meat should be totally ok with eating whales. Thanks for clarifying that, we’ll stop trying to get people to stop eating whales now thanks to your advice.

              The options are either that or not eating meat while continuing to try to stop people from eating whales. I support you in whichever you pick.

                I really do not understand your “people can be as cruel to animals as they want as long as they aren’t hypocrites” position.

                  I’d rather they weren’t, but if it’s so integral to their sense of self that they are, at least admit it and stop looking down on people for not being the same kind of cruel as you.

                    From my observation, the only person looking down on people is you. You’re also getting very close to violating our civility rule.

                    And no one said anything about their sense of self.

                    Who are you to prevent cockroaches from sharing your kitchen? They’re part of this earth too. Why are you complicit in cockroach genocide?

            The irony is lost on most people but in a lot of ways you are correct. I eat meat, I rather wouldn’t but dietarily it works well with me, but to say cow’s are more worthy of killing and eating than a whale is a preposterous thought.

            Sounds like you don’t care about animal cruelty either, in that case. As long as you aren’t participating in it.

            Seems to me like trying to convince other people not to do it rather than insulting them might be a better use of your time.

                Plenty of others have put a lot of effort into convincing people to stop eating meat with a decent amount of success. Do you have some sort of condition preventing you from doing the same? I doubt it.

                Again, it seems to me like you have no issues with animal cruelty, just hypocrisy.
