So tell me why I hate veggies so much.
It's not like I think it's cool to do so.
I think hating anyone or group is pretty effing uncool, as a matter of fact.
But veggies just fill me with a deep and intense loathing.
I suppose at some level, veg'ism says 'I'm too good to eat THAT' - inferring
by the converse, that carnivores are somehow inferior.
And 'I care about animals' - inferring by the converse, that carnivores
don't.
Neither obviously, is true.
I suppose it strikes me as some kind of bizarre symptom of a mental illness
that people get hung up about a cow/pig/sheep being humanely euthanased.
Animals eat animals, why shouldn't we ?
After all, are we not animals too ?
Is the moral motivation for veg'ism a kind of anthropomorphisation ?
Do veggies see farm animals as somehow human ?
If so, how ?
I can understand seeing a family pet as a member of the family .... even as
an honorary human, but FARM animals ?
I'm sorry, but that's just ph*cked up.

And rightly so.
They just want something to protest about - even if that protest is
covert.
They fill me with homicidal loathing.


It's just silly to get yourself all wound up about something like
whether someone else eats meat or not. Hey, life's too short. Kick
back, have a steak, and a really big cold beer, and chill out,
whydontcha? ;-)

That's certainly the approach I try to take for myself,
although it's more likely to be some nice pork chops.
However, I don't really care if people are vegetarian
or not; what I *do* care about is when they either
explicitly try to shove their beliefs down my throat,
as "aras"/"vegans" want to do and sometimes try to do,
or if they parade around exuding their insufferable
arrogance, which they all do.
