Veganism. It's interesting to see how even seemingly very moral people throw logic out the door when the topic turns to not killing animals.
It's interesting to me in the reverse, because it's sort of how the food chain works, granted I do hate seeing the inhumane conditions in which a lot of animals for food are kept (if we were still cavemen it seems more ok than now because it'd be more of a fair match between us and our prey).
Also plants feel pain too (please also kill them humanely).
Anyone who has attended a single biology class on plants can tell that they can't feel anything. You need a brain and pain receptors, plants lack both. But such obvious lies are perpetuated so you can keep abusing animals guilt-free.
The food chain hasn't really been a thing for us in a long time now and you know it. We've surpassed the traditional food chain.
P.S. I kill my plans more humanely than any animal will ever be slaughtered.
If you'll notice, it's not very often a vegan advocates for cheetahs to stop eating antelope.
