You seem to have laws and morals confused.
In the 1800s you’d have defended freeing slaves as theft.
Corporations engage in wage theft daily in favour of board profit, whilst dodging their duty to build a better society for their customers/staff though tax avoidance. Then that shortfall gets burdened on you to pay though inflation and higher taxes. They influence this system by lobbying and donating politically. We are being conned. How can you steal something from a thief if their gains were ill-gotten in the first place?
I can promise you now if you went into business with me or business with Tesco the latter will be the one that stabs you in the back - it is a feature and not a bug of getting a business to such an unethical scale in size.
I say what I mean and I act by my words. I probably limit myself to things you do daily that are legal yet unethical. [Post edited 13 Mar 2022 19:13]

I am now intrigued to know what your moral code is based on. |  | |  |

No, I think you lack morals for willingly failing to pay for a service that is performing as intended. It’s theft, no ifs or buts.
If you don’t agree with how those providing the service are doing things don’t use it. |
And I think people lack morals for choosing to buy goods from Amazon, and by choosing to pay for that service you are enabling a system actively working against humanity’s best interests.
Still not sure what this has to do with the OP and meat/pandemics.
Do you really lose more sleep for billionaires losing out on the odd couple of quid than what the billionaires did/do to get/stay rich? It’s something for you to ponder, rather than reply to. [Post edited 13 Mar 2022 19:20]

Dunno, address those two posts you still haven’t replied to and maybe I’ll let you ask more questions. | |

“I’m smarter than everyone here but I can’t prove it.”
Okay.
That meme is the most boomer Facebook thing I’ve ever seen, just needs a minion. |
It's a meme, so your original insult was incorrect
"I'm smarter than everyone here but I can't prove it" - you seem to have reading difficulties |  | | |

Not really, I just tend to expect people who make statements to back them up with evidence.
Apologies on the meme, but is is a sh1t meme! | |

Because it is nutritious, tasty, brightens peoples lives and because animals are not people. Next? |
If aliens landed, they wouldn't be people either. Would you eat them? |  |

Pigs are intelligent. Not sure if they have empathy. Try taking their piglet away though. They have feelings. | |

Scroll up and you’ll find two responses to you, on the original subject matter, you’ve not responded to.
You asked for evidence on animal agriculture and pandemics. I have provided this. Would you like to discuss it?
I’ve responded to your comment about animals being different as to why exactly that justifies pain and suffering. You haven’t responded.
You then ironically accused me of not reading things, so I pointed out you hadn’t read or acknowledged what I said either.
If you want to get involved in a thread or discussion, that usually involves
acknowledgement of evidence and counter points to further or establish your own view point. It’s a very simple grown up process. [Post edited 13 Mar 2022 19:45]

Animals tend to lack it in a way we would describe it as we are smarter.
It’s ironic we used this enlightened advantage to be utter bast**ds.

You said questions. I am not scrolling up to read more of the rambling nonsense. I assume you are not willing to explain morality. Fair enough. Big issue. | | | |

I would love to have a sensible dicussion around morality but apparently the simple task of reading is beyond you. One is literally a link FFS, you can click it and read someone else’s take.
So basically, you are happy to be ignorant. Do you know what the Dunning Kruger Effect is? On second thought, don’t look it up - it’d be lost on you. | |

We haven’t been eating aliens for the last 2.6 millions years therefore wouldn’t have thought we would have evolved to be able to eat them. | | | |

Yes, as stated I was wrong about the meme. Really not the biggest trophy in the world but I have validated this for you. As debate works.
Now, if you’d like to provide evidence for your original claim, we can do that one. | |

It’s a bit like saying a logging company is justified in destroying the Amazon because sometimes I step on blades of grass.
Still nowt on the OP and pandemics though. A big thread of swerve and whatteraboutery. |
Not sure you'll get a proper response, because people are defensive about the whole macho meat thing and you're gunning for anyone who dares offer a different opinion.
It's a shame, as it's a topic that deserves more consideration by people who've yet to think about it. (Not that I'm a vegan or even vegetarian, but I recognise the arguments as being valid, For health alone if nothing else. Throw in the environmental benefits and it should be a bit of a no brainer). Lifelong habits are hard to break. | |

There's a good chance we haven't had the time to evolve to eat masses of factory farmed animals either, given the state of people who have access those kinds of foods.
Anyway, you've not lived until you've had a deep fried martian! | |

They are hard to break but some people don’t seem to see their place in the world beyond their immediate reality and dismiss their impact on wider factors.
Collective action starts with individuals. But to take action one needs to know what they are acting against (or supporting by doing nothing).
You can lead a horse to water, etc. | |

Isn't leading a horse to water, non-vegan?
that's not to be taken seriously btw | | | |
