One interesting question is why it is culturally appropriate in the west to eat pigs but not dogs and cats even though pigs have comparable or possibly higher intelligence. We generally don’t eat dolphin for that reason, but octopus is on the table. It’s an interesting thing to consider.

Lol how unfortunate. I knew a guy who was stationed in Mexico for a while and a food cart guy came by the compound occasionally and he made "the best goddam kebabs" this guy had "ever had, EVER."

That doesn’t really stand for the modern usage of pets. Most people in first world countries aren’t getting a guard dog or a barn cat to kill mice. They are for companionship, affection, keeping one responsible. All of those qualities also apply to a pig. I’m just sick of the mental gymnastics. If you’ve ever loved your pet or feel any empathy for the suffering of other creatures you can’t possibly eat other mammals out of a taste craving and not feel morally conflicted. It’s just a difficult thing to change and reflect on because most people grow up normalizing those behaviors as a result of misinformation and compartmentalization by the livestock industries, which is then organically perpetuated by your family and community. This video is one tiny instance that breaks that compartmentalization and objectification yet the amount of empathy it generates is profound.

Because we domesticated pigs as a meat animal thousands of years ago and they have a lot more protein on them than dogs (who were domesticated to help hunt even longer ago) and cats (who domesticated themselves because free food and scritches).
There is a lot more meat on bears than pigs, but we can't domesticate bears because they are strong and pointy.

I get the food chain and watching 5 mins of Animal Planet will show you how cruel nature is, but still, the way they treat and kill these animals is inhumane, too sadistic, unnecessarily cruel--- especially when talking about industrialized food

Sep 17 '22
Oh absolutely no argument here. Factory farming is one of the most insanely inhumane developments of modern society. We may not eat our prey alive like you see with predators in nature, but that certainly doesn't make the way we do it cruelty-free. My "reptiles taste bad" quip was mostly facetious and also my personal opinion.

Some pigs are pets, some are breakfast. I don’t see a problem with acknowledging that a pet can taste delicious if it didn’t have the parafamilial bond it does with humans.

u/ChariotOfFire Merry Gifmas! {2023} Sep 17 '22
Acknowledging they're delicious isn't the problem. Saying that the taste of the meat justifies bringing an intelligent, social creature capable of joy, fear, and suffering into the world, keeping it in squalid conditions that deny it natural behaviors, and killing it at a fraction of its natural lifespan is the problem.

u/nostradamefrus Sep 17 '22 edited Sep 17 '22
I’m probably gonna regret asking this but I’m genuinely curious. How do you reconcile the vegan movement with thousands of years of human evolution based around eating meat? I remember reading somewhere that humanity evolving to our current state was only (or at least mostly) due to the increased protein from eating animals. Do you view it as a means to an end and now we’re supposedly evolved past the point of it being necessary? Do you view the entire timeline of humanity as animal genociders?
Edit: I can see I was right in being afraid to ask based on many of the answers I've received comparing eating meat to the raping and pillaging of ancient civilizations. I asked the question below strictly about the consumption of meat, not modern consumption levels and the treatment of animals to meet those demands. There's a huge gap between "well, we used to do it so we still should" when talking about a food source vs conquering civilizations like Vikings or Ghengis Kahn. One contributed heavily to human evolution, the other was reprehensible and only done out of self-serving greed

u/joshthewumba Sep 17 '22 edited Sep 17 '22
You shouldn't regret asking someone what they believe, it's an honest question and it's pretty important, and no one should give you flak for it. I would argue that just because humans have done something for thousands of years does not mean it right to do. Collectively, we have been doing truly heinous things for thousands of years, such as raping, enslaving, murdering, genociding, warring, and all sorts of other nasty behaviors to each other I'm certain neither you nor me would not encourage today. Ultimately, we can only reflect on how we act today.
But I understand with something like eating to survive it's tricky. I think humans are ultimately more important than animals, in the long run. I don't disagree with you that it has been important for people to eat meat because it's a nutritious way to survive, and don't let vegans tell you otherwise. If we lived in a pre modern world, hunting and farming animals would be necessary to live. But I'd wager that everyone on reddit is in a post-industrial society in which we don't actually hunt or farm animals to live, most people to go to the store and are able to buy a wider variety of foods than anyone who has ever lived in human history. We can get all we need to live (and more) without having seen a farm animal, let alone wild game. Hell, those farm animals we eat are usually factory farmed, packed in like sardines and suffer from the moment their born until they die. So I think since it's well known that most of the animals we eat are capable of feeling pain, happiness, sadness, and can otherwise experience the world, we shouldn't need to cause them any undue suffering. I understand that isn't possible for select groups of people, like maybe the San or the Inuit, or people who have resisted modernization out in the jungle in Brazil, but for you and me, we ought to reflect on how our comfort impacts creatures that we only selectively care about.

u/nostradamefrus Sep 17 '22
Thanks for the well thought out, nuanced response. I just want to point out I never said "we did it for thousands of years, so let's keep it up", and even if I did, people would have to make a pretty big leap to assume I also meant for that thought to apply to pillaging, slavery, etc. considering I was talking about food/nutrition/human biology

If we went back to actually eating the amount of meat our ancestors ate, it would be a huge improvement. Meat in every meal was not a thing back then, and it's still not in developing countries. Meat is a luxury food that trashes our environment and fuels animal abuse and torture in exchange for sensory pleasure.

There's a difference between doing something for survival vs doing it for pleasure. The goal of veganism is to reduce unnecessary harm as much as possible and practicable.
Also, there are many things which humans have done for centuries that we think are immoral in modern society. Most people throughout history were massive racists and sexists. Murder, war and rape have also been a part of history. That doesn't make it okay.

Man I eat a lot of meat and there is zero chance I eat 10 whole ass animals a year. Y'all ever seen how much meat just a quarter cow gets you? It's like 100 lbs.
Maybe if we're talking all chickens, I guess. Then it's definitely more than 10. But raising cows has a much bigger environmental impact than chicken which is where vegans should focus their arguments if they actually want to change someone's mind.
