      I think the most basic respect you can offer an animal is to just not kill it.

        That’s fair. I accept that I am not the second coming, but I live in this world as best I can while still enjoying the comforts it offers

              Is this the guy who wanted to have gay sex before the cannibalism while the other guy was mostly just there for the cannibalism?

              Then that guy got convicted for murder on a technicallity because the footage (they also recorded everything) showed that the guy whose penis was eaten had yet to die from bloodloss like he wanted?

              I heard that one on a Redhanded podcast episode.

        That should apply to all living things. Kind of makes it hard to survive if we do that, though.

          There’s a goldilocks zone where our own individual longevity can be met while simultaneously causing the least harm to all life, within practicality. That zone being within the territory of the blue zones to one degree or another. Or to be straight to the point, it is completely unnecessary for the vast majority of people to ever need to depend on animal products for food.

          Not really. Just like everything else it’s just a little bit of a learning curve. Then it becomes normal and easy.

          They don’t have a nervous system like vertebrates do. They can still feel pain if you slice them through the head because they have a network of ganglia throughout their body, not one centralized brain.
