I have two words for you: ice cream.
I rest my case.
Your sensory taste pleasure vs a living beings suffering. I know which I value more and apparently which you do. That's not an argument it's like defending rape by saying it brings you pleasure completely irrelevant.
Having a discussion about milk.
Someone brings up rape.
😳
There's actually a direct connection between milk production and rape. They have to artificially inseminate the cows to make them pregnant so that they keep producing milk. Cows are unable to consent to this.
Oh I completely understand that and I have a big issue with it.
That’s not what was brought up though.
They brought up the subject of a human raping another human.
The point was that doing something because it feels good doesn't mean that it's right.
artificial insemination is a veterinaryprocedure, not a sex crime
I never said that it was a crime. I said that it was rape. There are lots of things that are immoral but not illegal.
rape is a crime. artificial insemination is neither immoral nor illegal.
You've never had Ben and Jerry's dairy-free ice creams? Or even just blended a lot of frozen fruit, a bit of sweetener, and just enough soy milk to get a treat with a roughly similar consistency? You're missing out.
