"Children are considered pretty sturdy up here in the North.
During the whole giraffe debate my Faroese housemate was like “I don’t see why people are so offended by children seeing an anatomy lesson. On the Faroe Islands school children are shown how to kill a sheep”"

Most of the animals we eat would’ve never existed had they not been reared for the meat industry, however I do think that factory farming is barbaric and thusly while I do eat meat I do try my best to get it from free range sources.
We will have a fundamentally different view on how animals are to be treated, we should try and treat them with kindness and give them as happy life as possible but I see nothing morally wrong with eating them so long as they are humanely killed.
Having said that we do eat far too much meat in society and generally I eat vegetarian meals for 5-6 days of the week with a very high quality free range something or other on the (mainly a weekend) day.
I do think that you coming into this comics comment section was legitimately looking to get upset and you’re kinda ignoring the point of the comic but alas. Ultimately we’d have to agree to disagree as I doubt we’ll ever see eye to eye on the matter of meat consumption.
Ok honestly I don’t give a shit how you try to justify your murderspree to yourself. How you’re trying to make it seem that you’re a good person despite all the murder. I don’t know why you felt the need to explain yourself to me. Have you seen a litter of kittens? Or puppies? How would you react if someone took all the babies away from their momma, caged her and milked her dry, only to forcibly impregnate her again the next year and repeat for the sole reason to keep the milk coming? What would your reaction be to someone killing the mewling kittens and frying them up and eating them, and when you express your horror tells you that they will repeat it again just because you dared point out their sadism? This is what a cow goes through year after year. “Oh but my omelas kids get to see the sky sometimes” wowee…

and I don’t know why I even try with you people anymore
like why do I explain my emotions in detail which included a glimpse into my private life to you who has been nothing but callously rude, only for you to completely ignore it and replace it with a more convenient explanation. And the explanation doesn’t even make sense, why would I come to the comment section to view the offensive post?? I saw it browsing the frontpage, got horrified and commented, the end.
Also how is the point different from
yankee is upset at danish guy callously murdering two animals, oh if only he knew that in the faroe islands they murder sheep in front of a class of children so violently that the kids are covered in blood splatter and give away literal bags of blood as cutesy souvenirs and the children are already so desensitized they cheer for this? Could you imagine his reaction teehee 🤭
So I present my reaction, because I think the fictional yanks reaction would be completely justified. Because I empathize with the person ridiculed and see myself in them. Because, jesus christ, I keep forgetting how demonically desensitized the average person is to the violence and death from which their treats come.
And I can already imagine the treatlerite in you ready with another excuse, another deflection, oh you can ignore the vegan he is just stupid/trolling he doesn’t actually mean that, he is just looking for a reaction/he is making a ridiculous assumption that obviously is false, no need to think about it further.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his treats depend on his not understanding it.” Paraphrasing upton sinclair.
Honestly ask yourself if you really aren’t working your logic backwards from “i want to keep my lifestyle as it is”
