TST would've been good if they filed better lawsuits, weren't a grift started by nazis, and didn't... whatever is in the CW section 90 minutes in that i haven't watched yet.

is special about all of them
this is about interrogating why people think pets are different from livestock, something common to mammals (and talking about desires gets a little weird, but anyway) isn't going to be the difference between them.
You're explicitly acknowledging anything could be a pet that is meaningful to someone but some just get the shit end of the stick and are killed after a lifetime of torture instead
yes. although to slide in part of another comment i saw pop up while typing this
If it's purely the label of pet, we get back to the comment [queermunist] replied to
i think it's the social relation itself rather than the label being a talisman. We even attach to inanimate objects the same way sometimes.
Why should I interrogate my own beliefs when I can completely ignore them and make a bad faith argument turning it into a personal attack on my fragile carnist ego?
Ask me why I think the systemic mass slaughter of sentient beings is ok? How fucking dare you? Have you considered culture you stupid vegan? Stop antagonizing me!
could you show me where i called someone stupid? there's plenty of real things to be mad about you don't have to make up more.
it's tautological because that's all there is. There are historical reasons why some animals made better draft animals or whatever than others, but our pets are special to us because we adopt them. You could adopt a cow or a shark too, we just usually don't because of the logistics.
Either you think pets are higher tier beings than the equally smart and full of personality animals killed for food or you don't. It's not that hard
nah i think it's social categories, not moral ones. Cool i've deconstructed the categories of "pet animal" and "food animal" and think that if you want to keep a holstein as a pet or raise cats as livestock that's a little weird (historically, culturally, and logistically) but not some great sin just because the animals are flipped around.
people keep lizards and weird bugs as non-traditional pets too, maybe it's easier to see compared to mammals that the thing that's special about a pet is that it's a pet, not the species.
hmm, i'd have to talk to some homesteaders but I think that process is high enough effort that they're not going "oh i want steak tonight" and chowing down on a fresh kill
that kind of post is just pretending to not understand the cultural significance of pets. If there's actually a point behind it besides antagonizing people in a post about child abuse and violating social norms, I don't know what it is.
killed whenever you feel like eating them
wait the steakhouse from the simpsons is real? I thought there was some kind of schedule dictated by agricultural processes and cyclic demand projections.
