    A pig didn’t say they would die for you. It was murdered against its will and then you paid the killer to kill more.

      Unlike you, I am familiar with the pig government and we actually have an agreement that we eat their death row inmates. Crime has never been so delicious.

        Okay but actually they grow up in cages and never see daylight. Their tails cut off without anaesthetic.

        So yeh.

          You’re buying from the wrong farmer. Family farmers care a lot more about their animals than factory farms. Just another reason to buy local.

            It is a strange way to care about someone by sending them to death. I wouldn’t leave this people rise children. Or pigs. Or any other individual.

      No pigs go “oink” silly or when they’re scared they go “SSSSSSQQQQQQQEEEEEEEE-SSSSSSQQQQEEEEE-SSSSQQQQEEEEEE”

        And…?

        Are you telling me that you eatpork as some sort of… preemptive revenge? Because even in a hypothetical universe where pigs are top of the food chain, it would still be wrong to imprison and kill them. Which is why doing this to tiger/lion/bear would also be wrong in our universe.

        Weird comeback.

      almost no one has paid for a pig to be killed

        It’s called ‘buying pork’. They don’t kill them for fun and just happen to sell them afterwards.

          when you buy pork, the person who killed the pig has already been paid.

            That’s just useless semantics, neither funny nor clever. The pig you bought may be dead, but the money you pay will be used to raise and kill other pigs.

                It absolutely is. If you eat pork, you indirectly pay for pigs to be slaughtered. Full stop.

                  the pig was slaughtered in the past, before I walked into the store or decided what I’m eating this week. everyone involved was paid before all that, too.

                    They wouldn’t kill, or even raise the pig if they didn’t count on the money down the chain. We indirectly but surely pay for pigs to be created / killed, for our consumption.

                    It’s fine if you don’t care about that or accept it as your standards, that’s your choice and fair in our current social context. Just realize the economics behind it.

              I give my money to the same people that you do: a grocer.

            It’s actually irrelevant whether or not you buy a product made from slave labour, the product is already made! How much product is made is completely independent of how much gets purchased, because that’s how markets work!

        Assuming what I think you’re assuming, now I want to hear this story of pig assassination.
