It is a fact - beyond rational dispute, as I enjoy saying - that the meat consumer is in *exactly* the same relationship to meat animal farmers and processors as the "vegan" is in with respect to crop farmers and processors. Therefore, if the "vegan" bears no responsibility for the deaths caused by crop farming, then the omnivore bears no responsibility for the deaths of meat animals. The degree of control and the degree of "[superiority in the] relationship to the person who caused the damage" are identical. How about it, Woopert? |

Yes, I agree with you about that hypothetical statement but I suspect that Derek will not. |
