    Vegan here: hurting and killing innocent, defenseless animals for food because of speciesism is wrong and harmful.

    The rich are extremely harmful to everyone and have no feelings worth valuing, so eating the rich is reducing the exploitation of animals and very, very vegan.

      Counterpoint, while it might be ethical to eat free range billionaire, it’s the least tasty of human meat because of all the cocaine use and STDs.

      Uh isn’t a core point of veganism to not consume things with sentience?

      Even an “evil” human has sentience and doesn’t wish to be eaten. (Unless they do, and in that case, crank that hog)

      Are ‘don’t walk on the grass’ signs speciesist? I feel like it’s unfair that the other animals are allowed and i’m not.

        “Don’t walk on the grass” signs are usually stupid anyway because vast expanses of bare lawns with nothing but a single kind of mowed grass are almost exclusively dumber, uglier, and worse for the environment than native plants. (To actually answer your question, no, because speciesism is differential treatment without critical thought as to why they’re treated differently, and non-human animals can’t read are way cooler than humans tbh.)
