    the human population is very much reliant on animal sources to sustain itself

    Do you have a source for that? What % of the global meat consumption is actually necessary and what is just for pleasure? And don’t get me started on food waste…

    what is required to continue existing as a species

    Do you mean scale up as a species? We’ve existed for how many thousands of years in a sustainable way?

    the distinctive categories of pets and livestock are an unfortunate requirement of our current situation

    A requirement for what? You said we need animals to sustain ourselves. What do we need the distinction of pets for?

    People who treat pets animals as property are not good people.

    FTFY

    I’m not a militant vegan, I do make occasional exemptions for ethically sourced animal products. But the distinction between pets and other animals is just hypocritical.








  • I wouldn’t call them moving in and after a while realizing they are not contributing an early signal. You know what would be? Talking about it up front and coming to an agreement. Whether it be financial or otherwise.

    And this has nothing to do with a relationship being transactional. In fact it’s the opposite because then the relationship will not be one person providing for two people and the other person providing a relationship in return.
