(Un)angenehme Wahrheit: Der Konsum von jeglichen Tierprodukten in entwickelten Ländern ist ethisch konsistent nicht vertretbar.
Technically yes. But of course they would (and can't really) do that. But you could also eat stuff like roadkill and it's vegan. Veganism as a moral philosophy has nothing to do with food, it's about respecting and granting animals the same rights as humans (as far as applicable, not stuff like voting).
That is why I argue that getting a pet should be like adopting a child. You care for it because you love it. And no matter what, the pet or the adopted child has a right to not be used or be harmed. I think that getting a rescued dog and caring for it is a very noble thing to do. But breeders are hell holes. And while using a lead on a dog might remind one of slavery, remember that it is in the dogs greater interest to not run onto the street and other people have the right to be safe from your companion animal.
If pets can get their nutrients from plants as well, why violate other animal's rights in the process?
How does that matter? If they can get all the nutrients from plants why not give them food that is vegan? Their interest in taste is not a justification to violate another animal's right not to be enslaved.
Explain why. Dogs and cats need nutrients, not meat. There are vegan pet food brands that can supply them with all they need. Simply saying "A cat/dog is a carnivore, therefore it should eat meat" makes no sense, especially if you harm other animals in the process. That leaves us with taste - the same thing that doesn't justify murder for humans.
Yes omg that killed me
Biggest laugh I had in a long time I am crying omg
Die Speziesgrenze ist willkürlicher als man denkt. Menschen sind auch Tiere. Was wäre wenn es Elfen gäbe? Wäre es ok die zu schlachten? Was wäre mit einem Schwein, dem man das Hirn eines Menschen transplantieren würde? Oder man einen Menschen genetisch verändern würde, so dass er eine andere Spezies wäre? Ab welchem Punkt hat der Mensch keine Rechte mehr und man kann mit ihm umgehen wie mit "Nutztieren"? Andere Unterschiede wie Intelligenz oder Sprache findet man unter Menschen auch. Manche bleiben kognitiv auf dem Niveau von Kleinkindern, oder können nicht sprechen lernen... Da wo man aber klar eine Grenze ziehen kann ist: Alles was ein Bewusstsein hat, sollte das Recht haben nicht ausgebeutet zu werden oder Eigentum zu sein.
