        Its not mutually exclusive, these animals are relient on us to give them a good and happy life. From thousands of years of coevolution they have found an evolutinary niche and that niche is humman support class ie food. If we did not eat them and use them to build the very society we stand in today they would not exist. We love them we care for them we give them good lives then we eat them.

            Ive never met a pig raised to supercede its owner let alone a pig going to work and contributing to society.

                Are you implying that the mentally disabled dont contribute to society i believe a little angry Austrian man had that same idea. And eating meat of a sick animal sounds quite unhygienic to me.

                  New proposal: if we start eating all of the people who eat animals starting with those who eat the most meat, we will reduce the planet’s meat consumption quite rapidly.

                    If we start sending all the vegans to camps in poland starting with the most vocal we will reduce the planets quota of loud vegans. Wow who would have guessed killing a specific group of people will reduce the amount of people in that specific group. Again the angry austrian dickhead was working on that exact principle.

              My dog doesn’t go to work or contribute to society. But i don’t eat him?

              Your reasons make no sense.

                There are many studies that suggest having pet can increase health both physical and mental and is correlatory to longer life expectancy. Your dog is contributing to society through your actions so dont let em down.

                  I’m sorry but i do have to ask. Are you a bit daft? It’s literally called a PET pig. You can love an animal no matter what kind of animal.

      Lemmy works in mysterious ways, and there’s plenty of offended {vegans, crossfitters, communists, fascists, whatever} to downvote or brigade. Which is even more useless than on Reddit, but everyone needs a hobby.

      I guess lemmy must be full of sticklers for etiquette, and It’s rude to play with your food.
