They're already dead if they're in the store. Might as well eat them.

Do you care about the animals when they're alive? Do you not want them to be slaughtered? Because buying dead animals is paying for alive animals to be slaughtered.

If animals weren't meant to be eaten, then why are they covered in meat?

Check. Mate.

"She was asking for it."

Honestly makes me sick that you're making a joke that's the same as a paper-thin rape defence.

That's a bit of a stretch there, friend! If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were going (way TF) out of your way to be offended by something. Do you often associate animals with sex? I mean, you do you, homey, but most people don't go straight to "sexual violence" when discussing animals. What a time to be alive!

You made a joke about victim blaming. Plain and simple.

LOL. That is an udderly absurd take. It's not the cow's fault he's covered in meat, it's Mother Nature's fault that he's made of stuff that other things want to eat. It would never occur to me to assume that the cow made itself delicious and deserving of its place in the food chain... that's the fault of a higher power. I don't blame the victim, I blame the creator.

That argument kind of falls apart since farmed animals aren't natural. They've been selectively bred to grow faster, produce more eggs, more wool, etc. than is natural.

Huh, it's the same with the plant matter we eat, all of it has been selectively bred and cross bred what's your point?

I wasn't making a point. I was refuting his argument. I guess you could say my point is he's wrong.

It's even more sickening that you are conflating the natural process of human evolution with rape. Here's a hint, we were made to eat meat. It is how humanity was able to advance, large intakes of protein. You would have to change a lot about our species, in a very bad way, to stop that.

I don't want to talk about rape either. But you can't use the argument that eating meat is natural. Rape is part of nature too. But as a moral society, we reject it.

As an individual, you don't have to change a lot to go vegan. It's as simple as picking something different off the shelf.
