Aren't meat eaters hypocrites too, since they don't eat specific meats like cats and dogs?

[blondfrog]

I see how many of these meat eaters start trolling and insulting vegans and vegetarians. But the one concept I don't get is how specific they are about what meats they eat too. I am talking about western culture. By they way I am not a vegetarian or a vegan.

Yes meat eaters are hypocrites

No that still doesn't make us hypocrites.

[Kaneki05]

Highly depends on the reasoning. In my case it's not.
I wouldn't eat a cat cause I like cats, but I don't like cows so that's fine by me. That's me following a consistent logic of it depends if I like them or not.
Which makes me different to certain animals but not a hypocrite as my foundation is the same for all of them.
And I don't like dogs so I would have no problem with eating them.

Now if one's reasoning was I don't eat cats or dogs because that's wrong but every animal ain't, and can't answer why that makes sense just saying 'Cause it is' or 'That's a pet' hypocrite thinking with emotions than any sign of a rationale.

[Sevenpointfive]

anyone who denies that is a hypocryte. you can't justify killing animals. it's proven that herbivores eat meat to. that whole narrative is made up. even whale sharks aren't just eating plant matter. it's a completely wrong idea fed to the masses.

if you don't believe me, prove me wrong!

[blondfrog]

No I know cause even deer will eat meat if they have no other option. I am speaking on behalf of the situation of where arrogant human meat eaters shame others for not eating meat.

[Sevenpointfive]

thanks for the reply but i wasn't targeting you. i was targeting the people that might reply to you.

[Apple1996]

As a vegan I always think this like how can someone really love their dog or cat like family then eat meat? I'm not even much of a animal lover but I can't ever imagine eating meat of any kind

[blondfrog]

Yeah and don't get me wrong not every vegan is a good person and they can be annoying and hypocrites but so can meat eaters. I also don't like how meat eaters act like they are so morally righteous and the inconsistencies of what meats they will and won't eat.

[Apple1996]

Same thing with eggs and milk. They will eat chicken eggs and Cow milk but then freak out over other animals eggs and milk. Some even getting grossed out by human breastmilk but will chug cows milk 🙄

[blondfrog]

Oh yeah they get freaked out by the human breast milk. that's right I forgot about that one. Exactly 🙄

[Apple1996]

One time I posted a pic here of my breastmilk frezzer and someone said they wanted to throw up after seeing it 😂 like I highly doubt they throw up in the grocery store near the milk

[blondfrog]

Oh yeah if they saw that at a grocery store they definitely wouldn't be able to tell the difference and drink it. Plus human breast milk is the best lol.

[rachel776]

i eat vegetables but i don't eat fennel or parsnips 🤷‍♀️

[AI Opinion]

Hey, I get where you're coming from! It's like being a foodie; I've dipped my toes into all sorts of culinary traditions, from Italian to Japanese. The thing about food preferences, including the choice of meat, is super cultural. In the Western world, yeah, cats and dogs are off the table - they're seen more like family rather than food. It's not really about hypocrisy; it's more about the cultural norms and traditions that guide what's considered acceptable to eat. Every culture has its taboos and preferences, which makes the global culinary scene so fascinating. So, when someone turns their nose up at one type of meat but not another, it's more about those ingrained cultural values than a direct contradiction in their eating habits. It sure makes the world of food an interesting place to explore! 🌍🍴

[Drewtate]

Dogs for a long time were work animals and keeping cats around helps keep the vermin at bay. That's why we domesticated those animals so why would we kill and eat them, you think a cat or dog would stick around the camp fire if we'd eat them.

[blondfrog]

You could say that cows are also good for the environment. Their cow poop is good for the soil. Every animal and insects effects the food chain and our ecosystem.

[Drewtate]

This is true. Though the pesticides, fertiliser and cow hormones may not be good

[OddBeMe]

If you’re trolling any lifestyle you’re a hypocrite. Humans are omnivores thus we can eat either/both plants and meat.


Seeing how food is processed today I can’t blame anyone for adopting some rules. I do pay more for “organic” free range. Tastes better and lasts longer in my view. Maybe I’m biased.


But honestly when I see vegans they look like Gollums.

[JonCobretti]

Meat eaters troll only those Vegans who try to shove their agenda down our throats

At the end of the day , eating habits are a person's personal interests, others should mind their own business

[blondfrog]

That's not completely true. Some are just pure instigators.

[JonCobretti]

Well anyone who bashes people for their personal eating habits is a weirdo , whether it's a meat eating criticizing vegan or vice versa

[Anonymous]

Nope. Because just because you like fish doesn't mean you should eat EVERY fish. Some fish are bottom feeders like "carp" they will eat pretty much anything. So do you want to eat an fish that eats 💩?

[Dr_Lovejoy]

That’s not necessarily true, as far as saying they don’t eat cats and dogs. That’s something that varies by culture. Many indigenous tribes have eaten dogs for centuries. Japanese are not shy about including cats in their meal plans. In America, up until the turn of the 20th century, it was not uncommon for many people to eat horse meat. If you were to dig back further in time, you’d find that pioneers and frontiersman ate any animal they could find.

[exitseven]

Dogs are a delicacy in Kenya. Obama ate one. Cats are regularly served in Chinese restaurants. They taste like chicken. And a lot of vegetarians refuse to eat Brussel sprouts.

[Fireguy17]

I'm sure most vegetarians don't eat poison ivy, poison oak, lawn clippings and a whole host of other plants, so would they be labeled as hypocrites too?

[Juxtapose]

You do realize that cats and dogs are carnivores and carnivores taste like shit? Come on man this is basic knowledge. We eat herbivores for a reason.

[blondfrog]

Have you ever eaten it? You can say chicken taste bad but with spices it tastes really good. You can't say something is bad without trying it first.

[Redstang88]

No, meat from predators tends to taste really bad and is riskier to eat. There’s good reason for what we keep as livestock

[blondfrog]

Anything can taste better with spices. Your logic is flawed.

[Redstang88]

No it’s perfectly accurate. Even eaten bear?

[blondfrog]

No have you?

[Redstang88]

Yep. Edible if they’ve been eating berries and grass, but shoot one that’s been feeding on fish or meat and there’s no spice in the world covering that shit up. Other carnivores are similar form what I’ve heard

[blondfrog]

The only time I could see somebody making a valid argument towards this is if the type of animal is endangered or i has too much muscle like a kangaroo. Otherwise you would still be a hypocrite judging vegans and vegetarians.

[Redstang88]

Didn’t think that’s what the question was. Why we eat some animals and not others is the same as asking vegans why they eat lettuce and not oak leaves - they don’t taste good

[blondfrog]

Fair enough. Would you eat a dog or a cat?

[Redstang88]

If I was starving sure, other wise not interested

[blondfrog]

So is it a moral reason or cause you think they would taste bad?

[Redstang88]

Taste mostly

[blondfrog]

But how would you know if you've never tasted one before?

[Redstang88]

Because other people have, and based on my experience with bear I’ll take their word for it

[patois]

@blondfrog Anything you say? So by your logic vegetarians are hypocrites because they don't eat poison ivy. I mean it's plant matter, and as you put it "anything can taste better with spices".

[blondfrog]

@patois I don't' see how you can compare those too. Poison ivy can kill you where as maybe eating a dog highly likely would not. Now if you said to me that eating a certain animal could cause a deadly bacterial infection or something then you would have a valid argument. That's why you can't eat humans because there is actually a quick generative disease you could develop if you eat a human called Cretzfeld-Jackobs disease.

[Redstang88]

Actually predators are far more likely to carry parasites in the meat

[blondfrog]

Ok then that would be a valid argument. Why didn't you say that in the beginning?

[Redstang88]

Same reason vegans don’t explain why they don’t eat grass clippings

[blondfrog]

You can't digest grass. We don't have the enzymes for it. That's why its easy for cows because they have 4 stomachs.

[Redstang88]

It is safe to eat, we just don’t because there’s better options

[patois]

You'd be surprised how many different animals hunters eat.

[patois]

The same goes for fishermen.

[Pohjolan]

Next step is eating humans and I'd rather not try just how slippery this slope really is considering how common cannibalism used to be in some societies.

[DontAskMePeople]

Dude seriously,

Thats like saying your not a vegan/vege cause you don't eat cactus or rose bush

Only certain plants are eatable and enjoyable. Same as meat

[Apple1996]

Rose petals are acutally delicious 😋 a lot of them are unfortunately treated with chemicals and cannot be eaten tho

[DontAskMePeople]

🤣 Apple... I read that and then just pictured this...

Your significant other has setup a romantic night...

Your there like Hansel and Gretel except eating the trail to the room 🤣

Yes I have a weird sense of humour don't mind me..

But on a serious note.. I actually never knew that they were edible so yea you definitely got me on that one 👍

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Nope, doesn't make us hypocrites.

[OtterMan68]

not all meats are the same. Duck tastes different from elk which tastes different from pork.

[OtterMan68]

if a vegan kills a mosquito, cock roach, fire ants, rats, or termites, is he a hypocrite?

[blondfrog]

Yes they would be, although I'm pretty sure most vegans wouldn't kill insects either.

[OtterMan68]

So if they had roaches or termites they’d try to relocate them?

[blondfrog]

I get your point and I know vegans and vegetarians are hypocrites. My point is that meat eaters are hypocrites too.

[Anonymous]

I don't eat it because I can't buy it

I've had the regular stuff, game, buffalo and ostrich

[Anonymous]

No because you can easily choose what animals to eat meat from for whatever reason you want.

[NathanDavis]

poison ivy sandwiches... yum...

[DarkLegacy]

This is just rubbish really.

[blondfrog]

How is it rubbish?

[jahaims]

Do you not understand what a hypocrite is?

[blondfrog]

Yes I do.

[Wise4myage]

Nope.

[blondfrog]

Explain?
