How does one's diet correlates to one's sexual activity ?
Is it just a big cop out because you saw a sexy hen prancing around and lost to the intrusive thoughts ?
Grains and veggies can't consent to be grounded, chopped or diced either.
Where's my zucchini ? What did you do to that baguette !?
Veganism really is the only logically consistent belief system when it comes to animals and how they should be treated.
Veganism is far from consistent.
Crops require total control over a field, and that field can not have anything but whatever you planted in it. No trees, no bushes can grow there, few to no animals can wander about.
The potential for growth of others critters is stunted by activity on that field, you've also got the chemicals for growth, pest / weed control.
Not to say that nothing ever lives in fields. Rodents, sometimes even Bambi even goes for a stroll down
Barley Alley.
Ever wondered why crows and others scavengers birds flock to freshly harvested fields ? It's not just the leftovers grains, it's also whatever got flattened or chewed up by the combines.
Vegan alternatives to animal product like leather or wool usually don't last more than a few years and release micro shits every time you wash them. You'd let a cow's hide go to waste but you poison fishes and yourself too down the line.
I'd mention vegan foods being excessively processed slop but it's hardly exclusive to them.
Also, in general when it comes to animals, nobody gives a shit whether they consent or not. Nobody asks a pig whether it consents to be slaughtered, nobody asks their cat whether it wants to be sterilized, and of course, nobody asks thousands of baby male chicks if they 're ok with being thrown into a meatgrinder.
You may not like it but humans are omnivores. Used to hunt, now we used money to get it prepared for us.
Meat is on the menu boys ! ( sorry, I had to do it. ) that being said I'm against ritual killings, whatever's quickest is the best way and if you want to eat meat, you should be able to kill an animal you raised.
The male baby chicks' fate is unfortunate but you can buy them from a hatchery. You need a lot of land though, once they're grown, it's a concerto in Bird Major for years.

Or you give them the best life until .. You know.
For the cats, they're less likely to wander and get hit by a car chasing pussy, although it's usually not up to the cat's owner, you're usually mandated to sterilize.
You may need to put down a pet, they didn't consent to that either but sometimes it's the best you can do.
