Genuinely have no theory of mind for people like this. To me it's like if someone said "yeah I've been torturing cats in my garage, I know I should stop but I'm not going to". Why aren't you going to?!
One of the things that has become clear about the proposed DC foie gras ban is that it's about promoting veganism by exploiting populist impulses.
If you don't wish to become vegan, you should oppose it.
@Jamesottoman@sibaburck Then you agree that farmed breeds of pigs, chicken, sheep, cows, and most other animals all violate our duty as creators, and that we shouldnโt have factory farms at all.
Also, no they donโt.
@Jamesottoman@sibaburck If I created a species of dog that grew so fast and large that it caused lameness, broken bones, and joint disorders, would it afterwards be a moral imperative to keep that species going no matter what?
House cats can be fed lab grown meat or vegan diets with additives

@Rohanburdened@mr_xtacle@NomadicTerra@stellaomalley3 If they had similar rates of prosecution for sexual violence as males, I would definitely be uncertain about it, but I believe the rates are quite a bit lower
@Rohanburdened@mr_xtacle@NomadicTerra@stellaomalley3 Do you think trans women rates of committing violent crimes and SA/r*pe is closer to male rates or female rates? Or higher than both or lower than both? Does that have any bearing on your view?
@Rohanburdened@mr_xtacle@NomadicTerra@stellaomalley3 First, are you aware that almost all pro-trans people consider that extremely transphobic?
Secondly, do you support the existence of female-only spaces, women-only spaces, both, or neither?
@AnimalUnite@Haoshoku voting, many people think children, the mentally incompetent, etc should not vote. i disagree with his view but i don't think that means he isn't vegan, since he isn't advocating against rescinding the basic rights that all animals should have
@AnimalUnite@Haoshoku for the most basic ones like to not be enslaved, tortured, etc. yes. but ones involving humans it's more complicated. there are rights that can be harmful to others or rights that are inappropriate. for example, we advocate against peoples' right to hunt. similarly with --
@AnimalUnite@Haoshoku veganism is about ending exploitation of non-human animals, i don't think it's practical or helpful to include concepts like "total liberation" in it since that is so politically charged and has completely different meanings to every group
