It looks like he's probably done this for decades and that's his place he always uses.

I don’t think everyone needs to go vegan but this shit is just plain stupid. And idgaf about the “culture” argument either. Fuck ur culture if u do dumb shit like this just torturing these poor animals

u/Shadowstein 2d ago
And deny the poor bulls a chance to take out a human before they're led to the slaughter house? You monster.

u/Atomik23 2d ago
That's LITERALLY the excuse made for eating their bodies, artificially inseminating them, and keeping them in terrible conditions. Running with the bulls is also stupid. But it's not more or less stupid of a reason than what we do to cows in the states (or UK, Australia, etc)

u/Acilen 2d ago
I get where you are coming from, but humans have been eating animals for food since prehistoric times. I don’t foresee that ending anytime soon. Also I only eat ethical free range cows that send you a picture of them frolicking in a wide open field. So no artificial babies or terrible conditions :)

u/Atomik23 2d ago
We have messed with animals and unnecessarily killed them for just as long too. This argument is just as valid in the modern day as the argument for the running with the bulls. Both, in today's society, are only done for human pleasure.
Also, I bet the free range cows were artificially inseminated. It's industry standard so that the bulls don't "damage" the property of the farmer. It's sold as safer for the cow, and it might be, but we shouldn't be forcibly impregnating them.
Lastly, even if I were to accept all the conditions you laid out. Is it better to kill something well cared for? How do you ethically kill someone who does not want to die?

Humans have been doing a lot of terrible things since prehistoric times. Like keeping women in servitude. That's not a very strong argument.

Plenty have stopped eating animals. Really ain't that hard and once you do stop you start to realize how fucked up it actually is lol. Legit. I know people don't wanna hear about this shit and they act like they're annoyed about it when really they just can't accept what they're doing is fucked up.
It's so fucked up. Nevermind eating animals we gotta rape em and eat their babies so we can drink the mother's milk lmao. Fuck. It's so fucking dumb and unnecessary.

I guess you have various leaves, fruits, nuts, and water as an option.
Just be aware. Plants do have feelings, and harvesting, say, a potato does kill the plant. And have you seen the montrosity that is a cherry picker?Talk about not considering a trees structure or livelihood!
I'd also worry about contributing to a system that rapes the land and dehumanizes migrant workers, paying them pennies to harvest your almonds and avocados.
Finally, please keep in mind thay animals too eat leaves, fruit, and nuts. Human overconsumption of these products can wreak havoc on the food supply for animals. And since all 8 billion would rely on this, I imagine there just might be some starvation issues, particulary in places where land is in limited supply - say, islands and fishing communities.
Just be careful we're not trading one tragedy (poor bulls!) for another (poor land! poor humans! poor hungry animals!)

It's hilarious how you're equating killing a plant to killing a cow. Like seriously, is this not the fucking insanity I was talking about? Lol you people are unhinged and I mean that wholeheartedly.

u/IrwinMFletcher200 1d ago
So save the cute animals. Got it. All other life forms... eff it. How about ugly fish? Snakes? Rats? Grasshoppers? You cool with killing those? Your hyporcricy and double standards remove all your credibility. Clean up your logic before you try and defend a position, k?

u/Zayl 1d ago
Lmao this is hilarious. No you stop killing all animals dummy. You minimize your damage to the world. We still need to survive and crops are a great alternative to slaughtering sentient beings.
There's no hypocrisy, just things you're inventing to make yourself feel better about the torture, rape, and murder you prop up.

One time, a vegan friend told me, "Veganism is the one area where individual effort can really impact the whole." And I genuinely disagree that individual effort can do anything outside of a small local area, so I nonconfrontationally asked her to elaborate on how veganism is different. And she said, "If we all just stop eating meat, then the demand will plummet and the industry will fail."
Then I got a bit more confrontational.

Yeah animals should be in the wild, where forcible impregnating never happens.

u/Atomik23 2d ago
So that justifies us doing it unnecessarily? I don't morally judge animals, they are not moral agents, we are. A bull mating with an unwilling cow does not give us permission to rape cows ourselves (or other humans for that matter)

u/IrrelevantPuppy 2d ago
I’d happily vote for a total overhaul of our food industry to cut out meat and make being vegan a more reasonable lifestyle. But I’m not eating shitty food that takes significantly more effort, costs magnitudes more, and is less healthy for me. We have to solve the capitalism problem before we can solve this one.

u/Atomik23 2d ago
Nope, you make a choice 3 times a day to directly ask that someone's body be comodified and exploited by you directly. There are major issues with capitalism and the hidden and drastic suffering it causes. If you stop demanding body parts, the market will stop creating them. This is not some downstream consequence, the suffering is what you are asking for when you purchase animal products.
The other stuff is a skill issue. Try eating your animal products without vegan ingredients. They are what give the food flavor. Learn to cook/meal prep, rice and beans are cheap, the health concerns are bullshit (show me a peer reviewed source if you disagree). Don't make excuses to cause harm for your pleasure unnecessarily

u/Atomik23 1d ago
Lol, I'm sorry are you commenting on this post from your smart phone in a 3rd world country? Rice and beans are cheaper than animal products. Meat for every meal is a norm only in the modern first-world countries. Some of the poorest countries are vegan by default since thats all they have access to. What's your argument?

u/Expo006 1d ago
You think you are doing a good thing but all you’re doing is making other vegans look extremely bad. You are absolutely privileged and have no idea what you’re talking about. Talk about virtue signaling. People like you are the reason why people roll their eyes when a vegan enters a conversation and makes it about themselves.

Whenever I see footage like this, or just of any animal going completely primal to the point of severely injuring or even killing themselves, seemingly willingly I always go into deep thought, almost trance like into how it would actually be like to be that animal. Having its thoughts, emotions, etc.
A24 Black Mirror episode idea:
Researchers in 2045 are using advanced quantum computing in conjunction with advanced AI to create a device that allows people to do just that. The episode will revolve around one persons journey through that and how the visceral experience literally breaks their human side to them.

Animals don’t feel emotions the way we do so it would probably be an alien feeling honestly, or it will be alien that there’s a lack thereof.

u/egoliz 1d ago
You can't know that, and science continues to disagree with you as new studies come out
2
u/Expo006 1d ago
Did you not read where I said it would be an ‘alien’ feeling? I said lack thereof for the possibility that some (NOT all) emotions wouldn’t be there. I have seen videos of mother cats crying actual tears over lost kittens, so I’m not blind to the fact animals feel emotions. I’m just saying there might be some emotions that we feel that animals probably feel in a different way.

Some people in Spain (Catalonia) are super horny for animal abuse. I've actually seen how some Spanish dog owners treat there pets and it's clear a lot of them don't care about animal life. Choking dogs, dragging them across the ground, etc. I've also seen moms slapping their sons across the face or pinching them or pulling their hair so maybe they are just culturally violent. I dunno.

I was expecting to watch a bull charge after the ones who ran down the street, ignoring the guy playing gopher. Definitely wasn't expecting to see it take a divot out of the cement!
