Things that really piss you off

ARTICLE

It's not my fault animals are killed on accident during harvesting. You have to draw the line somewhere, and that article writer was really just being an asshole, trying to make both sides out to be equally evil.

Lets see, you can support the intentionally killing and suffering of billions of animals within the worst living circumstances, or you can support the accidental killing of thousands of free natural living animals.

You should pick the lesser of two evils, and not just be a douche and say: "Well, if some die harvesting, then it's okay for us to intentionally make mass genocide factories!!!" It's a huge jump.

It's really not the same thing.

1.  I know, I was half joking by posting that. 

2.  Yes, it is your fault, just as much as it's our fault that the animals we eat may have lived and/or died in bad conditions. 

Let's see, you can oppose animals being mistreated by humans when they're in captivity, but when wild animals get ripped to shreds as "collateral damage" it's A-OK?  (It's millions by the way, not thousands.) 

You said there was NO HARM done to animals by eating vegetarian.  Just letting you know that's not true. 

Also, if we're going for the lesser evil thing, why not campaign for switching away from meat from more commonly mistreated beings (I've heard that birds have it worse?) towards more humanely treated and slaughtered animals.  You're more likely to get people to switch and therefore do a better job at reducing suffering.  HA!

P.S.  Also, some of your own arguments were pretty crazy, too.
