theft.

 

we are speaking in terms of the same emotional connection that an aspiring human mother would have for her eggs, fertilized or not, if they were to be taken from her by force. of course it would be a more invasive process, but the emotional attachment remains the same. the same theft and uncomfortable circumstances are taking place when a mother is kept from her young to harvest her milk or her lactation is artificially sustained for harvesting purposes, not to mention the grotesque metal gear being hooked to her titties. if one denies that animals feel emotion then just grab one and squeeze the life out of it; the sound u hear is emotion and it is pain.

 

Does this apply to seeds, bacteria, yeast, mycelium and other non furry/feathery things, cause if so its all fucked by that standard.

 

Breed a plant for seeds, you're stealing its babies? Bake a loaf of bread, you just went holocaust on a bunch of live yeast? Eat yoghurt and you destroy active cultures?

I agree that most of our meat farming (or most mass farming) practices are grotesque and unstable, but the line is drawn by different people at different places, I guess.

 

I for one am a level five vegan, and don't eat anything that casts a shadow

 

you've stumbled across the true nature of the universe my friend. it is beautiful on the outside, but the fact is that it is constantly eating itself; black holes eating light and so forth. we only can do the best we can, but we must be honest in this, we must come to terms with this horror and what it means to live antithetically as an example, to subvert the momentum of the darkness against seemingly insurmountable odds. many people think problems in this world stem from government conspiracy or illuminati or the brain-in-fleshy-parts and its human behavior however, it is much larger then this; its root is much deeper and much more difficult to expose. the examples you have given are valid, but it is what we choose (the illusion of choice) once we have the information, this is the grist for the mill

what? it's as plain as day to me, that all these things are at odds with each other; there is something gone horribly wrong obviously. cells against cells, animals fighting territorial disputes, plants vying for light and water and being strangulated by the vines. these few examples r only on the earth and without entering into the human behaviors.

troon, how many people (personalities?) share your account? Some seem quite a bit...er...brighter than others

"examples r only on the earth"

wtf, are you a 13 yr old girl now?

omg

and yeah, nature is "red in tooth and claw"

much in the same way unregulated free-market capitalism is.

It may seem unfair, but at least we're on the top of the food chain.

r we?

I once accidentally stumbled upon one of those gifs of some asian girl smashing a live kitten by putting a sheet of glass on top of it then sitting on it

It was sickening, the eyes popped out

Holy shit why would anyone do that

evidently you're unaware that's where viagra comes from

the kitten was also her mother, this is common practice.

Have you seen Antichrist? I think you would like it.

man those slowmo animal shots in Antichrist were amazing (so were the acorn falling shots, come to think of it)

dreamlike, frightening, and hilarious at the same time

The cinematography is by far the best thing about this film.

luke, let's build a commune together.

 

I'd actually be quite tempted to join some kind of commune thing, as long as the people involved weren't animal-rights extremists/new-age nutters/luddites.
