Even predatory animals dont eat every thing around them. They draw lines as well.
LadyTotesMcGoats
They forgot a goat
EuroCakes
Nobody gonna talk about the dog as tall as a cow?
Nan0Whale
Repost.
casualintrovert
At least source the persons twitter before stealing
CountryMetal01
Rabbit is on the wrong side of the line
l1ldreamstar
I agree!
Zlimeshili
Pigs are smarter than dogs
bigtomstud84
Depends on what country you're from
Xsiah
One more. Horses are assholes.
VaginaOrchard
As an asian..... there need not be a line
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
All people want to live, too. Why should animals get special treatment?
CactusNachos
no eating pussy jokes? is imgur feeling OK?
udick
Isn't the saying "Don't knock it till you try it?"
WarriorBorn83
Depending on where you live, there is no line. Just saying.
FatalBurger
I think the line is a personal choice really.
WalterMatthau
It's easy enough to say you'd never ever eat a pet when you've never been really really hungry.
Haydanas
Horse is awesome. I was stationed in Sicily. Had been there 2 years eating hamburger and steaks before realizing I'd yet to see a cow.
Dunes8
Says the group that euthanizes 95% of the animals they take in.
Sylenths
? Thers no PETA logo on this sign?
Dunes8
Yeah, but it cuts off before the end of the billboard.
FuckYouImSokka
Why not both?
championofbreakfasts
line? food and pets can be the same species. meat raised on pet food usually tastes awful and carnivore meat has more toxin buildup.
JustBeCoolBruh
That's why I stopped eating human.
zpjon
Seeing as humans are omnivores... does that mean you raised humans on pet food?
leareth
Vegans can be useful...
PitbullsPublicist
Plant Lifes Matter!
xemian
Canivourus animals have a very sharp taste.
AgentTempest
Surely there was no need to put 4 dogs and 3 cats and only 1 of all the others?
xKaraKx
They had to though. Theyre a very un-imaginative lot
Qualtagh
I mean, some dog breeds were designed to be food. I don't think this reflects that, though.
TimeFoDat
Obviously it's because Golden Retrievers are more delicious than Bulldogs, and thus lean more on the "Food" side.
mitharas
Well, maybe I like some dogs better than others?
theycallmeMrGlass
Like 10 of the 12 songs on an album, this is what we call "filler"
handbananana
Don't call me Shirley.
mushycow
This wouldn't be a Peta ad if it wasn't heavy handed
Cereaza
Yeah Peta. Most animals are pet's except for the 2 or 3 that we eat. Or wait... Probably the other way around.
flassk
we may not have the starvation problems that exist in third world countries, but the more in danger of starving to death i am the further~
flassk
~that line begins to park itself to the left.
ReptarCrunch
Clearly it's just indicating that Golden Retrievers are better to eat than Bulldogs.
diev
two cow like objects
jorynagel
Dairy and beef.
catusfelis
It is needed. Some breeds tastes better.
FilthyRedmond
But we need a strawman
flatdeer
That's one of the reasons I'm a vegetarian. We don't play the pet-or-food game.
KleptoKea
As a fellow vegetarian, I enjoy not having to play that game either.
flatdeer
MagiicHat
No need to play the game. Prepared right, I'm sure dog is delicious.
jbilly90
Depends on what country you live in i guess. People eat horse cat dog while some worship cows.
flatdeer
Who worships cows?
jbilly90
hindu people
flatdeer
Hindus do not worship cows. They are venerated and honored but not worshiped; they are not a deity in Hinduism.
jbilly90
What ever. Like i know the details about hindu. Calm down for fucks sake
flatdeer
Was just sharing some information. :(
Man0fReaction
A whole billboard saying I'm a vegan.
eversoft
So what do you consider billboards that promote the meat and dairy industries?
Man0fReaction
Capitalism
eversoft
My point is that people who eat meat are far more widely advertised and don't get attacked nearly as much as vegans do.
Autumlove
I'm in no way shape or form a vegan, but I have friends that are.
Autumlove
It's a catch 22. If you don't tell someone you are a vegan a show up to dinner, it's awkward. If you tell them, it's advertising. lol
OMEUNOMEEMINISAR
I'm no vegan or wtvr but I find it curious that nobody takes this billboard seriously. It is as if there was a fear of profound thinking
pokebug666
Because naturally anyone who sees nothing wrong with eating some meat, but not other meat, is fearful of profound thinking. /sarcasm
SoooooOriginal
Is it so profound that dogs have a stronger companion role with humans than cows?
alake
The billboard's argument is that a companion role is not morally relative when it comes to making decisions on what is permissible to eat
MagiicHat
I'd try eating dog/cat, given the opportunity, if that's what you are getting at.
HackerJacker
This is about as profound as your statement.
TheWoundedKing
I find it curious that you find this billbared related to profound thinking.
OMEUNOMEEMINISAR
Why not?
whoisyourdaddy
Because it's stupid. I eat vegetarians. That's where the line is drawn.
whoisyourdaddy
Because it is stupid. Why six cats, but only one cow? Why are rabbits on the pet side?
alake
That has nothing to do with the argument.
KleptoKea
Agreed. And it's usually the hypocrites who bitch about mythical preachy vegans that struggle most with this.
HappyWaldoandtheSaltyMonkey
"Fear of profound thinking" Oh god, just how seriously do you take yourself?
OMEUNOMEEMINISAR
Not so much, why? Just because I phrase it like that?
mineovermatter
Huh? What's to take seriously? Its biased (multiple cats/dogs), meaningless, and from the hypocrites PETA. (1/2)
OMEUNOMEEMINISAR
What do you mean? An argument doesnt fall because of who says it
mineovermatter
(2/2) To give it credence would be a travesty of reason.It should be derided for the nonsense it is.(see H.L.Mencken)
LordKrondor9000
Because the animals to the left are more valuable as companions or workers than as food (save for the rabbit, which belongs on the right).
Incantanto
also eating predators is inefficient.Hence not eating cats/dogs
OMEUNOMEEMINISAR
How do you define what's more valuable? Don't you think it is egocentric to look at others and say "How can they serve me?"
LordKrondor9000
It is actually economically more valuable. This is not an opinion. A good working horse is expensive, and it does not play for itself 1/2
OMEUNOMEEMINISAR
slaves are also economically more valuable. Should we have slaves?
LordKrondor9000
Now you're getting into a different argument. One of self-awareness. Self-awareness has only been observed in chimps, dolphins, and magpies.
LordKrondor9000
2/2 with its meat. It does, however, pay for itself with its labor. The same goes for all traditional beasts of burden.
ThatRaccoonGuy
The rabbit should be on the other side of the food line!!! Though seriously, it's a cultural thing, not a moral thing. I don't think there's
Domehammer
Rabbits are such pests, they shouldn't even be anywhere near pet line. Just takes 1 person and you got rabbits fucking up trees and stuff
Rosek
My parents used to call rabbit "French chicken" just so they could trick me into eatting it.
SlamChunk
Eating carnivores is wildly inefficient which is why I'm against eating them though
ThatRaccoonGuy
When you live in a place where cats and rats run rampant, eating them is no different than eating coons and possums in the south.
championofbreakfasts
morals are a cultural thing.
alake
Moral subjectivism is bonkers. Is it morally permissible to perform female genital mutilation just because it is done by a certain culture?
championofbreakfasts
It is in their culture, which is why people of your/my cultures may feel that their culture should be forcibly altered to resemble ours.
ThatRaccoonGuy
anything bad about countries that eat cats or guinea pigs or horses or whatever. They just have different cultural values than we do.
Katateochi
It's not what you/they/we eat that bugs me. it's how they are treated, it's worse in some places but it's a global problem.
EddieDeanofNewYork
this is funny because you should see how the US meat industry treats their animals
cybergoose
Im the futherst from an animal cruelity activist. But i do have to agree with you.
Thisiscotty
did i just see an agreement....ON THE INTERNET?
buzzl1ght
As long as its not the dog, cats should be fine as long as you only eat each one 8 times.
kohrah
Why dog is bad but pig is good?
Irreal
It's counter productive for meat production when you habe to feed your animal even more meat.
kohrah
So it's effectiveness issue? Might be.
buzzl1ght
Have you tried bacon?
kohrah
Have you tried dog?
DrWuTangClanSr
What about eating that racoon, guy?
ThatRaccoonGuy
You misspelled raccoon even though you can clearly see it in my username. >:( But in all seriousness it doesn't bother me.
DrWuTangClanSr
Damnit!
ThatRaccoonGuy
I like raccoons a lot but I understand that they're destructive animals and don't hold it against people that kill them.
fornostrangereason
Catching them and releasing them somewhere else is easy enough to do, though.
ThatRaccoonGuy
This guy thinks catching raccoons is easy.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Animals don't possess the cognitive functions to desire life. They try to survive because it's a biological impulse.
kohrah
I'd say that the "desire to live" is a biological impulse we have (as well as rest of the cognitive functions). It's a very thin line.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Except humans possess the capability to not want to survive as well.
demiandub
Well, that alone isn't a good argument. Some mentally handicapped person might be the same way & we still include them.
MagiicHat
Good point. I wonder if the handicapped are tasty?
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Because they are of our species. None of these animals are.
demiandub
Right, but you 1st suggested certain cogn. functions as the relevant criterion, not species-affiliation.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Did I exclude species being a potential factor as well by that? Pretty sure I didn't. It's simply the foremost criterion.
demiandub
Fair enough. Just wasn't clear from the context.
dogsdinner
Now draw your line, kill, skin and cook chosen animal. Certain countries would basically be vegan if they had to slaughter their own :/
ohdearohdearohdeer
I have never killed an animal to eat it, but I'd happily do it if I wanted meat
TheSpooniestFeeling
Only cats, dogs and horses are the animals I have not killed, skinned, butchered and cooked. Hunger changes people.
TheSpooniestFeeling
From that list*
nwaw
I mean, if it came down to it, I would totally hunt a cow.
szepasszony
Being that I'd have to quit my job for all the time I'd spend doing so, yes. But not because I haven't hunted and killed my own food.
cowpiefatty
i would but i would definitely have to learn how to skin an animal first that shit is a lot harder than it looks.
texag10
Rabbit is in then. Just cut through the skin in the middle and peel back. You can get the meat without opening the body cavity.
dogsdinner
Damn kids don't even know what they are eating, the connection and respect has been lost... buy, consume, sleep, repeat
BrisketandBeans
If I had to slice one open for dinner tonight I would instead of eating a salad. I tried going vegetarian. I was so hungry lol
TheSpooniestFeeling
You forgot to vape and crossfit, only the hunger will vanish. On a serious note I think some people just need high octane food, I know I do.
BrisketandBeans
I vaped briefly but it's too similar to smoking & I'd still smoke. I quit both 18 mos ago. I don't crossfit, but I do lift. So ...
BrisketandBeans
You're 2 for 2!
NewUserNamesAreHard
Right, because when people had to slaughter and dress their own meat, everyone was vegan. (This is called sarcasm)
dogsdinner
Sarcastic maybe but the growth of the meat industry is an interesting read. When we killed and ate our own meat it was a treat now 1/2
dogsdinner
Most western countries eat meat 3 X per day 7 days per week & no thought on the affects. I'm not vegan, work in catering n see this everyday
HardcoreHeathen
Because it's cheaper and affordable now that factory farming has been introduced.
ThePickliestRick
They're saying that if everyone today had to kill and prep their own meat, lots, if not most people would turn vegetarian/vegan
KleptoKea
And what part of that basic logic do you struggle so much with
NewUserNamesAreHard
Wow, you really think I'm an idiot, don't you?
ThePickliestRick
That may actually be the case, it appears.
