    Have you… Have you read the tumblr post you are commenting under? It is about feeding meat substitutes to animals… And the top level comment I was replying to is saying “that’s not how ecosystems work”…

    Also, I never said vegans want to make wild animals vegan. If you didn’t say I was antivegan I would have never mentioned vegans in the first place. I am not against vegans as I have already said literally one comment ago. I am under a post about feeding meat substitutes to predators, making fun of people who think we should feed meat substitutes to predators.

    No one thinks…

    This is just factually wrong. Many people (often religious, but not necessarily and from various religions, not mostly, just often) base their view of the world on that idea. They probably won’t say it out loud like that. We call people with this kind of ideas “conservatives” but of course that’s not the whole thing, not all conservatives believe that, and it’s not just about that, I’m making a very loose statement here.

    I will stop commenting about the sexist part, honestly if after I explained everything of what I said you still don’t get it, that’s on you.

    Edit: before you comment (because I know you will) when I wrote “[…] go eat vegan, but don’t tell me […]” that is not saying that vegans say animals should be vegans. That is addressed to you specifically, who are lecturing me that I’m anti-vegan for making fun of people who think we should feed meat substitutes to animals.

      It’s a tumblr post that simply claims that this was a fairly regular demand, which is bullshit. It’s ragebait at the expense of vegans and almost the whole comment section here is falling for it.

      The post isn’t about feeding meat substitutes to predators. Synthetic meat is actual meat. Maybe try reading better before making fun of people?

        Irrelevant argument, even if it’s actual meat it only means that the carnivore diet is still meat. The role of the carnivore in the ecosystem (i.e. regulating the population of their prey) is still not covered, and the idea is still stupid

          Sure, didn’t mean to imply anything different. But if someone is saying something stupid, and you make fun of them for something different they haven’t said, it makes you look even worse.
