    what is this argument? you can abuse animals without eating them? like that was a thing?
    because it doesn’t work the other way, unless you are pedantic and say that killing an animal is beyond abuse therefore it isn’t

          Just make it quick. Or not. As long as i don’t have to see it and have to think about it.

            Well about being quick I can’t promise anything, but telling everyone that I killed you humanely afterwards is something I can commit myself. I can even post images of you being happy and shit.

            I’ve seen it often enough to know exactly how important it is to make it quick and clean

            But you won’t get emotional nor make a drama about it, right?

            It will be painless and you will be gone with a smile in your face knowing that your body parts will serve a purpose to make my friends happy for a while in my great BBQ!

                I don’t understand, humanely means that you’ll be happy about it. I’m literally doing you a favor.

                    Okay, I literally checked in the dictionary what the word means. Showing kindness, care and sympathy.

                    Shit now I understand, I forgot to ask you, do you want to die for my bbq?

        “Killing humanely” is just about minimising abuse, not nullifying it. Who decides when the abuse is small enough to be called humane? The slaughterhouses marketing their slaughtering as humane.

          Yes, it is about minimizing abuse, reducing suffering. There is no nullification of suffering, existing necessarily entails some amount of it, but that’s no reason not to try. I agree that veganism is the more ethical decision, and that the people who profit the most from the suffering can’t be trusted to define what is and isn’t abuse.
