The self-reference in this was expected but somehow also the perfect cherry on top

We need to eat. We don't need tol take joy in aninal deaths. These are different things and the meme is dumb.

I'm vegan btw. The meme is making fun of people who eat for taste pleasure and not any other type :)

I grew up on a farm, I've killed and slaughtered my own food my whole life and I always felt good about eating meat because of that fact.

As I get older I'm really starting to hate killing things, I don't want to end a life at all. My couple of vegetarian days might turn into a whole lifestyle.

You've got this! There are a ton of benefits to going plant-based. Dominion is a great documentary to show how most (~90%) are treated, which emphasizes the importance for us to shift away (it doesn't sound like the way you did it was as bad as this, but this is the info that made me swap away recently).

I actually respect vegans that are vegan to prevent the suffering of animals.

I get it. Grew up farming. Chicken houses are an industrial horror machine.

We've recently bought a play farm and hope to raise or hunt all our meat. Only the slaughter and butchering of steers will be outsourced. Takes some serious equipment to handle an animal that large.

I'm an omnivore by evolution and enjoy meat and hunting. I'm always a little sad when I kill something, however. I figure that sadness means I'm human and is a good thing. When I eat meat from something I killed, it means more. There is a lot of respect involved in it as well something like religion.

If more people had to kill their meat, we would probably live in a very different world and there would be a lot more vegans.
