Keep them. It's a gift you colossal faggot. Also, break up with the dude. He's a colossal idiot. You know what, don't do that. You two were made for each other.

it is a thoughtful gift you cunt

jeez doing anything for vegans is like stepping around eggshells

its not like he called attention to some incurable disease you have

Throw them in the trash. This will bring the cow back to life, and also endow it with intelligence and other things so that it's not just a fucking cow

maybe he didn't realize they were leather. maybe you should talk to him about it. ppl aren't infallible just because they're in love.

>being this spineless and retarded

Go back to le rebbit plz

>>3963833
Why are you contributing to our world's deforestation which further drives the cattle trade and the lie that is the recycling industry? Your his beard or he never told his mother like he said he would

If this was true, your boyfriend 'of a year' would of known would of known full well after that amount of time. If you're hardcore enough to go full Vegan you're going to of had to explain the fundamental concepts to him repeatedly just to get by day to day

>>3963899
They are of no use to me dear. I dont care if they were a gift or not. My morals and beliefs will not be compromised so he feels better. He refuses to take them back so now they are in a grocery bag inside the cafe down the block.

>>3963947
I assumed we all knew that this never happened and were just going from there?

The cow is already dead.

You are disrespecting its corpse by wasting it.

Also, do you realize that scientists have recently suggested that plants may be able to feel pain?

Vegans just can't win unless they starve.

Welp, that's evolution for ya.

Good luck.

>>3963947
Oh he knows. He explained that he didnt realize they were leatherbound and being that most of his folio books are cloth bound he failed to check.

>>3963833
Every time you eat bread, even if it's from an organic, vegan-friendly farm, hundreds of small animals were killed when the wheat was harvested.

did you know 4chan is powered by dead cow ask moot i emailed him

regift them, give them to someone else. If you won't sell them, and won't throw them away. That's your last option

>>3963961
Are you dense? Vegans simply avoid blatant exploitation of animals when possible. Buying a pair of leather boots is blatant. Killing thousands
of insects and rodents when harvesting wheat
is unavoidable.

unavoidable.

>>3963968
This is going to sound sarcastic, but I am being sincere.

I enjoyed your post a lot. It reminded me of golden age FYAD. That is all.

>unavoidable
It's perfectly avoidable if you don't harvest the wheat to begin with.

Maybe you pinheads should subsist on plankton or something.

>>3964005
Jesus Christ he still he exists?!!

>>3963967
Everyone knows this. Yes even Vegans! Hurray. It is entirely unavoidable. This does not mean it is ok for me to eat a steak dinner. You do reaize what a foul odour you flesh eaters emit from your mouth and pores?

>>3963996

You must be the one that's dense, lady, because you just replied to the wrong person.

I understand subsisting solely on vegetables does not a good brain make.

No need to call people names; you knew full well you were gonna get anti-vegan flak no matter where on 4chan you posted this.

>>3963996
Unavoidable because you're too lazy to make your own hydroponic garden?

Sorry, but any vegan that doesn't grow their own food to avoid participating in animal murder is just following a trend.

What, do you mow your lawn and spray pesticides in your home, also? I bet you slap mosquitos when they bite you.

>used to have lambskin jacket but now too fat from eating MEAT

I can just hear the screams from the abattoir now I'm pretty sure I cancelled out your gay little life choice OP

>>this is about Maddox's merits as a comedian and not as a polemic satirist

>>more pertinently this is not about the valid points he makes against meat-hating fasicsts

>>yup keep deflecting

>>3964036
Maddox is extraordinarily lame.

But just because he once posted something about animals being killed when wheat is harvested doesn't mean it isn't true or relevant.

Seriously... any vegan who doesn't grow their own food, or alternatively get it from someone who farms reeeeeaaalllly carefully with hand tools, is a hypocrite. They might as well eat steaks. They simply do not save a significant amount of animal lives compared to how many they contribute to killing.

I guess if they just really like cows, pigs, and chickens and they don't care about killing other animals, then it makes sense. If I ever met a vegan like that, I could respect their choice.

>>3964044

You can't spell annihilate right.

Thank your dipshit corportatist reich-wing darwinists for your shitty education, murrican

ITT op decides to grow wheat

>>3964044
Sorry I have none of those things. I dont eat meat. That does t mean I dont own firearms or bekive homosexuality and trans behavior is a mentak illness..

>>3964056

hold up nigga, farm animals require animal feed, which is farmed, and some require pasture. Simply eating beans or wheat would lead to less collateral deaths of mice and such. I'm not saying OP is not a faggot tho.

9.5/10 - Best New Troll

Well yeah, but lets say the average omnivorous human is part of a system which kills 3 million animals a year.

Cutting out the meat would probably only reduce this to about 500,000 animals a year. Of course I don't know the exact numbers, that would take an in-depth study.

But okay lets say a vegan who eats organic wheat and other organically farmed vegetable products, and who doesn't like insects in their house (I don't know any American vegans who do) kills only 5 % of what a meat eater kills (which seems very low to me). That's still 150,000 per year.

150,000 dead living beings. Of course, they could say they don't care about the insects and earthworms. But once they do that, where is the line drawn, and what's the criteria?

Intelligence? Some mammals are pretty dumb, some fish and reptiles aren't much smarter than insects.

Mammals and birds only? Animals larger than a breadbox? If their think is respecting life, none of this flies.

If it's simply to prevent suffering caused by pain, well how do define pain? Most animals have a nervous system and ways to sense damage, but there is debate over whether a non-emotional reaction precludes the label of "pain."

Many scientists will cite studies saying that insects, worms, and even fish do not feel pain. Others don't subscribe to the narrow definition used in those studies.

The lobster thrashes around in the pot. The fish struggles on the line. But this is labelled a "reaction to threatening/damaging external stimuli" rather than pain. What do you think, vegans?

>Vegan posting on 4chan
You do realise Moot runs leather servers with gelatine PCB's right?

Genuinely disappointed in this thread.

How do you guys function in society with your crude senses of humor and poor perception of satire and irony?

>>3964146
I think (hope) that most of the people still posting understand that it started out as pretty good troll thread.

>>3964146
Sucks being the smartest person in every room you enter isn't it...

OH HEY LOOK,

Send them to me plx.

I know that feel OP. My girlfriend accidentally bought me a human skin rug with head still attached. Unfortunately I'm a racist and the rug was black. What should I do? She cant return them and I will not have them in my house or sell dead negro to anyone! I have suggested the trash and she was livid! Suggestions?

>>3963833
Pretty good.
