Not all life is precious. Look at deer: they were pretty until our suburbs got too close to their lands (that changed happened in my lifetime). Now they're rats with antlers.

...and they're so yummy. Ever had barbecue venison?

Life isn't really that precious: it's fairly resilient. Silverfish, for example.

Besides, guilt is how the ruling class clips your wings. They aren't giving you anything through their passive-aggressive manipulation, so don't offer them a sacrifice.

    rats with antlers.

GOD YES.

They're like the rats of the fucking forest.

And pigeons are the rats of the sky.

What are the rats of sea?

To reiterate - I fuckin hate deer, bruh.

Life in the wild is nasty, brutish and cheap.

If a hunter doesn't kill a deer, a car will. Or a wolf will. Or it will break it's leg and be left by it's herd to die in solitary agony of blood poisoning. These animals will all die, and often by more violent and painful ends than a bullet or arrow.

Ok, waaaay too late but I've been reading this all over again since it was linked on another discussion today.

Have you seen this bit by Louie CK about deer? It's hilarious.

I think you'd agree with him ;)

I disagree. I didn't claim my belief is based on logic or reason; but that's how I feel. Sorry.

    Ever had barbecue venison?

I have. It's pretty good.

Yeah...I don't think the hegemony is keeping us down with vegetarianism.

The hegemony is totally keeping us down with corporate food. The appeals to emotion to avoid one corporate food (meat) for another (soy) is just Coke for Pepsi. Whitey, you nasty mofo!
