Es gibt echt wichtigeres ist ein sehr konservatives Totschlag-Argument. Das passt immer und blockiert alles. Fortschritt funktioniert aber so. Mit Kompromissen und langweiligen, kleinen Schrittchen.

Warum denn nur bei nicht-menschlichen Tieren? 5 Schüsse in den Rücken, Zack, extra Fleischeinlage in der Polizeikantine: Komplett verspeist.

Unbedingt liegen lassen! Bei den Temperaturen beginnen aus den Knorpelrückständen bald neue Gliedmaßen zu wachsen. Mit etwas Glück auch einige Augen.

I think it’s not that complicated. There is this quote from Jeremy Bentham:

The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?

Which they obviously can, right? Watch the videos.
Now let’s not focus on them but on us, that’s easier: We are at a point in history where we (you and me) don’t need to kill animals anymore to survive. It is even harming us, clocking our arteries, destroying ecosystems. We live in a society where you can go buy plant-based alternatives that are cheaper and healthier, processed stuff like schnitzel and sausages, but also notorious superfoods like lentils and tofu. Happy Eat your Beans-day, by the way.
So we could solve like a quarter of the climate catastrophe, save millions on health care (I’m European) and human lifes by ditching saturated fat, slow down or even prevent further antibiotic resistance and free billions of sentient beings from short miserable lifes. But most of us choose not to, because they’re accustomed to a taste.

5 is great. Never stop donaldducking.

Eben nochmal Fucked Up von Macklemore geschaut

Den Troll bitte nicht füttern. Der trötet nur gegen die Bedeutungslosigkeit an.

“Laienexpertise”

Habt ihr Das Ministerium für die Zukunft gelesen? Der Roman startet in einer Hitzewelle in Indien und ist wirklich heftig. Wird dann aber zunehmend hoffnungsvoll.
Zweite Buchempfehlung: Der Anfang von Morgen, Hitze und Waldbrände in Schweden.

2: I’m a Bitwig fan-boy. Buy this great piece of software, have tons of fun and never use third party VSTs again. Sound design, modulate everything, wow! You can run many Windows VSTs using yabridge. Reaper might be a good choice for a DAW as well, it’s a little more classic and has plugins and scripts for everything.

Opinion:
Chewing on lab grown tissue is not something I’m looking forward to. I don’t need it in my life, I’ll stay plant based. If it replaces a dead animal I’m fine with it. But I doubt it will. I feel like lab-grown meat is like hydrogen for Big Oil:
A thing that they’re working on, it will be great in the future. But until then, we can continue burning oil/eating meat.

Off-topic:
I’m always tempted to write it out. The word is in everybody’s mind while we read the text. It gets so powerful if people decide to talk around it. But if the context is not hurtful, it’s just a word. Nothing happens. It becomes an insult if the mind of the one who says it or the one who reads it decides to make it one.
Plus the assholes who use it as a slur will say it anyway. We’re not achieving anything by erasing it from our bubble.
Well, that’s what I think about it. :)

Danke Merkel! :)

What are you talking about? It says 40% are male and killed as veal within a week.

I think I made by point and presented enough sources. I’m obviously not going to change your mind at this time.

An example of what people accept as normal:

In 2020, 4.9 million dairy calves were born in New Zealand. Exact numbers are not collected on the outcome of each calf, but NZ dairy industry lobby organisation DairyNZ estimate that of those:

2 million (40%) were bobby calves, who are killed around a week after birth.

1.4 million (28%) were female cows kept by dairy farmers to replace the 20-30% of older cows who will be slaughtered every year when they are no longer deemed productive.

1.3 million (27%) were raised to maturity for beef. Beef animals are generally slaughtered when they reach maturity at around one and half years old.

196,000 (4%) were born dead or die shortly after birth.

It’s not a byproduct. 80% of global soy is grown to feed animals.

That’s the spirit. Going vegan is a powerful personal Fuck You to the global suicide machine. Plus you’ll probably live a longer, healthier life. I wish you all the best!
