+57 The Baby of a Vegan can't be Vegan as the breast milk it drinks comes from an Animal. They also can't formula feed as there is no Vegan formula. amirite?

That's not how veganism works. It's about consent. The mother obviously consents to feed her child, while an animal can't consent to be consumed or have their milk taken from them. Also there is vegan baby formula. So... You're just kinda wrong.

Do other animals consent before tearing eachother to shreds?

by Anonymous 3 years ago

We don't apply the requirement to obtain consent to non-human animals because they don't possess the level of intelligence of humans to be able to make decisions based on ethical considerations.

Highly intelligent primal humans already kept cattle and killed animals for food, were they asking for consent?

by Anonymous 3 years ago

Squids, chimps and so on and so forth all are super intelligent and conscious, with the latter even proven to make decisions based on moral and emotional intelligence. Chimpanzees kill and eat monkeys and other animals.

So we should base our ethics on chimpanzees? Better strike murder off the law books then.

Lol, funny enough chimps have an organized hierarchy with a multitude of laws and punishments for disobedience and there are no riots because xy in their societies. So maybe yeah, we should do that, lol. > So we should base our ethnics on chimpanzees? Counter question to you: why should we base our ethics on inferior forms of life?

Do you mean why *shouldn't* we base our ethics off "inferior" forms of life?

So if my talking chicken says I can eat it I could still be a vegan? Or the dude that asked people to volunteer to be eaten, because they consented to being eaten he could have been a vegan?

I will point you to _The Restaurant at the End of the Universe_ in which the cow asks each table which part of itself Arthur would like. The future may hold vegan beef!

Being a vegan means you dont consume other animal products. Breast milk comes from humans and is meant for humans, so it is vegan.

But surely chicken is meant for humans as we are omnivores so I am still a vegan if I eat chicken because I was meant to eat it because I'm an omnivore

Got em

Since were omnivores we could also eat our babies/children. So we should start eating our offspring just because were omnivores and we can.

Have you ever seen a dead baby Hamster? No because their mother eats them....... And maybe we should eat our babies, it would be a lot cheaper than keeping them and you would get a free meal.......

Well if you have no issue murdering other sentient creatures for food why would you have an issue with a baby

by Anonymous 3 years ago

Hey husband (OP). We should definitely eat our 6 week old baby, much cheaper than keeping her I guess.
