Do you mean to say that it’s justified to slaughter the domesticated sheep because it doesn’t have the instincts anymore to run from predators? A dog also doesn’t have the same instincts as a wild wolf and probably wouldn’t survive long in the wild either but I’m not gonna kill and eat them because of that.

A quick google: Wild sheep(mouflon) live 8 to 12 years in the wild. Farmed sheep are killed at 3 to 6 years old (excluding lamb which are killed at between 10 weeks to 6 months old)

Have you tried falling through ice into a river yet?

I don’t know how my jacket is gonna stop my shoes from getting wet and causing my toes to freeze off in this case? But even if I personally don’t have the survival skills for that situation, I don’t think the jacket would be the issue, there is vegans climbing Mount Everest.

PETA

I never mentioned them. I was thinking like tutorial videos of how to shear sheep. It is almost never nice for the animal.

Are you suggesting that we should slaughter all of them…?

You’re saying this as if farmers aren’t going to slaughter them? If you would stop breeding animals the problem would be gone in 6 years (or 20 if you stop sending them to slaughter prematurely)

From your source:

While garments made of natural fibers, such as cotton and wool, would appear to be a solution, unfortunately they also shed microfibers that can pick up pollutants in the environment.

I have a polyester ski jacket and I haven’t frozen to death on the slopes yet.

Sheep have been selectively bred for thousands of years for wool production, and so failing to shear a sheep is harmful to them.

Selectively breeding an animal to be reliant on you does not suddenly give you the right to do anything to them. If you really believe they suffer unless you put them through the shearing process (which is not peaceful, look it up on YouTube) then maybe don’t breed them into existence? This is the same concept as pugs who have been selectively bread to look cute but would be better off not being bred into existence because of their many physical problems caused by this selective breeding.

You also fail to mention that all sheep go to a slaughterhouse where they are killed by stabbing at a fraction of their natural lifespan.

wool is FAR better for the environment

Source? I don’t believe you can justify animal abuse with this but since you seem to think so so I will entertain you.

the wool required to make one knit sweater is responsible for 27 times more greenhouse gases than a comparable cotton sweater and requires 247 times more land. - CIRCUMFAUNA

Any polyester could’ve done that but without animal abuse?

I believe being alive is of a higher benefit to any individual.

Dogs, cats and bunnies all live longer when spayed/neutered.

Spayed female cats in the study lived 39% longer and neutered male cats lived 62% longer. https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/why-you-should-spayneuter-your-pet#:~:text=Another study%2C conducted by Banfield,male cats lived 62%25 longer.

Damn bro, you let a vegan change your habits?

All your examples are either voluntary or in the best interest of the animal.

do yourself a favor and let it go

I will stay angry as long as people are putting animals in gas chambers. The voiceless rely on people to stand up, they cannot end their own oppression.

Do you have a source? I can’t find statistics on how many eggs sold are actually using this method.

I found an article from the guardian that mentions it is 98.5% accurate (as claimed by the company, not peer-reviewed) and they somehow claim the eggs sold using this method did not kill any male chicks. What do they do with the 1.5% of hatchlings that are male? Just put them in a cage to die of natural causes? There is billions of hens so that would be millions of male hatchlings even if this method was used in the real world (which I can’t find proof of)

The only way you can have cows milk is by impregnating cows. Google how this is done, there is tutorial videos on YouTube. It is horrible.

The only way people have egg laying hens is by killing the male chicks. This happens even with backyard chickens.

Be real man.

Didn’t say anyone should be perfect, just apply your morals consistently

“You don’t have to stop the faucet before starting to mop”

It is so hypocritical that it’s unpopular with zoo-goers that come to look at animals in cages, while wearing leather and eating other animals.

If you’re against exploitation of animals, please align your actions with your morals and live vegan.

If you think you’re not seeing propaganda, you are not seeing the propaganda.

people not wanting to consume milk should stick to products with positive confirmation that it is milk-free.

So maybe like a package of butter that doesn’t have milk in the ingredients list?

It’s also around the time they did away with their jobs board thing isn’t it? I got a job through it in 2021 and somewhere after that they sunset it, which was an insane business decision because it was the best job search platform out there.

Every peer reviewed study on it says between 14.5 and 19.6% is animal agriculture.

https://thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-agriculture-environment/livestock-dont-contribute-14-5-of-global-greenhouse-gas-emissions

While animal agriculture is responsible for 20% and eating plants directly instead of feeding them to animals first would use 75% less land which means we could grow forests at here that store carbon.

The original commenter here just conveniently ignored that though.

The political advocacy would (in the best case) still end up with a ban on these actions that disproportionately impact the climate so why not just start getting used to tofu already?
