Tears, after watch this......

I don't know about the rest of you but I enjoy the taste of suffering.

>mfw im in a lab that does extensive testing on animals and they are treated better than zoo animals (until they are sacrificed)

>2011
>caring about animals when there is still human suffering to be dealt with

>caring

lmao

This.

I don't give a flying fuck about the intelligence of pigs, they're delicious.

Similarly, I'd eat a human if it were available and didn't carry diseases or prions. I've heard that it tastes like a mid-point between the sweet tenderness of crab and the umami and texture of beef.

>>3768889
I should note that this isn't and "edgy" thing, just curiosity mostly. The information I have about the taste of human flesh is from my nutritional anthropology professor. He spent time studying the tribe in New Guinea from whence Kuru (prion) came. Apparently, he was told how humans taste at some point and decided to let us in on the big secret.

>>3768889

i heard it tasted like pork

smelled like sausage when burning anyway

>>3768898

is that the tribe that eats people at their funeral?

>>3768645

>speciesism


lmbo ahahahahag a;jnwfa;wdnfawpogj[agn nlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>Slaughtering animals
>Compared to Holocaust

Ohgodwow

Aren't humans all bone and cartilage anyway?

On topic: there is nothing left to be said about vegan/vegetarian. Anyone who generally refuses to eat meat for anything other than nutritional or medical reasons is retarded.

>>3768907
Yup.

They're also the ones that eat nervous tissue like spine or brain and get the Kuru prion from doing so. The practice has since been discouraged, but the studies are interesting.

Nutritional anthropology was a surprisingly fun/informative class even if it had little to do with my biochemistry degree. I always walked out of lecture absolutely starving.

That class also turned me onto the idea of:
Spicy, not sweet, hot chocolate
Smoked/salted fish with breakfast- delicious
Fish sauce- surprisingly delicious
Seared, but otherwise raw, red meat- amazing
Blood as the base for a demi-glaze- it works shockingly well and can be used as a protein and iron-rich substitute for cream or other fatty congealing agents... great with cracked pepper and brandy as a reduction!

While some of the dietary things discussed seemed outright vomit-inducingly disgusting, others seemed like pretty good ideas. I can also now own any moron prattling on about some fad diet.

>>3768955

>Yup.

nice

>That class also turned me onto the idea of:
>Spicy, not sweet, hot chocolate
>Smoked/salted fish with breakfast- delicious
>Fish sauce- surprisingly delicious

i've heard of spicy hot chocolate, and have always been interested in trying it. i've never been fond of seafood though, unless the fish was in something like a curry

>Seared, but otherwise raw, red meat- amazing
>Blood as the base for a demi-glaze

i've had both, and they are indeed fantastic

Half the fun of being an omnivore at the top of every food chain on the planet is the sheer variety of foods you can try.

The other half of the fun is that our particular species of omnivorous superpredator is also intelligent, so there are a mind-blowing number of combinations and methods for preparing foods.

Damn it feels good to be a human.

HEY FUCKING BUSTERS, SUCK THIS !!!!

FUCK, seen it, the part with the fox getting ripped apart almost made me go into tears....

>BAWW ANIMAL CRUELTY
While obviously a fair bit may be unnecessary I'm more concerned about things such as genocide and various subgroups of human rights violation that humans do to other humans. And the western favourite: economic predation.

oh man, FUCK earthlings

Most of this is true and it's very very sad

But with six billion fucking people how else are we going to feed them

Yes animals feel pain, yes it's morally pretty much a huge holocaust going on erry day, yes it's all very very wrong and no we can't do anything about it.

Yet.

And to anyone who's ever hurt anything that's alive for fun a huge fuck you and I wish we could meet.

For some reason I bet there's a lot of these type of guys on /sci/

>>3769361

I Agree, /sci/ is of full of MOTHERFUCKER like that !!!

>>3768941
Your mother is retarded, for giving you birth.

Earthlings is pretty shitty as a documentary, it's all shock tactics and "BECOME VEGAN". There have been better documentaries about food production and animal cruelty.

>>3769361
>and no we can't do anything about it.
>yet

Actually we could and it wouldn't be any more expensive or anything, but no one cares, including me. I don't have the drive to dedicate my life to improving the conditions of farm animals.

>>3769418

WELL SAID !!!

>>3769458

Fuck Y MOTHER for giving you birth !!!
>FUCKING FAG, if everybody thinks like you, the shit will continue the same .

>mfw I live in eastern europe, eat delicious high quality meat that is WAY better than industrial american shit and the animals are killed with the oldschool humanitarian method of reversed axehead to the face, without any of this torture shit

HAHAHAHAHA VEGAN PRO-ANIMAL FAGGOTS ARE HIPPOCRITES.
WHEN THEY TAKE IN STRAYS OR UNWANTED ANIMALS INTO SHELTERS THEY CHARGE YUO MONEY TO TAKE THEM AWAY OTHERWISE THEY WILL KILL THEM TO REDUCE COSTS ON THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS.
HAHAHAHAHA VEGANS ARE THE CANCER KILLING THE ANIMALS NOT NORMAL PEOPLES.

>>3768645

why he cut his epic beard?

The ability to suffer is what ultimately marks out sentient life from any other sort.
Not just the ability to feel physical pain, but real suffering, the sort of suffering that's all the worse because the creature undergoing the experience can appreciate it fully, can think back to when it had not suffered so, look forward to when it might stop (or despair of it ever stopping - despair is a large component of this) and know that if things had been different it might not be suffering now.

Brains required, see? Imagination.

Any brainless thing with a rudimentary nervous system can feel pain. Suffering takes intelligence.

humanity has higher priorities to attend to

>>3769523

YOUR FUCKING MOTHER, SHE HAD ALL THE FAULT!!!
FUCKING ABERRATION!!!!

Animals feel pain and suffer :( Who the fuck cares? Really, they are just fucking animals. When that piglet Babe tells me to stop eating his mother then I damn well will - until then we don't need to stop.

>>3769710

JUST DIE RETARD, I AM NOT A VEGAN, BUT ANIMALS AREN'T JUST A SHIT, LIKE YOU SAY.
SO FUCK Y MOTHER!!!!!

>>3769710
Exactly, we make the distinction between individual ethical preferences all the time. Morality is simply a matter of priorities. There is no hard and fast rules (Don't kill this this, don't kill that) and you'd never maintain consistency even if there were. The fact of the matter is human preference comes before other animals. Morality is a human contraption anyway. Animals only get their say after us. Of course, you priorities the preferences of rational human agents above the irrational so there can be no pointless hedonistic slaughtering of animals just for the sake of it. But there is nothing wrong with killing animals for food, clothing, medicine and other utilities.

>>3769710

Don't we all want to live in a peaceful world?

Guys like you are slowing the progress.
As long as you will feel superior to other animals and won't show them any respect, there can't be peace on earth, because you will feel the same about people that you think are inferior to you.

I'm not saying stop eating meat (I'd prefer if you did), but at least show them some respect.
You are doing the same to other human beings and it is in your own good, to be good other people. If you are being a dick to someone, you can never achieve a peace of mind, because he will be a dick back.

inb4 hippy faggot

>>3769710

I eat meat, I hunt (spearfish, buying a gun soon) because it's what we've been doing for over 200,000 years. Yes now that we're smart we don't have to, but to deny us those basic rights is inhuman. But I still agree in the respect that some of the more brutal practices displayed in the video should be made illegal. I'm not gonna lie, some of those images were incredibly hard for me to watch. Ripping the skin off a living dog and watching it blinking afterwards? Comeon

Fucking vegan bullshit, go firebomb another animal testing facility try to cure someshit.

>For all the people, that like animals or care about them, they must see this video
If the people who watch this are already animal lovers, (which most of them are) what difference does watching the documentary make? Did they think that making people baww would help the situation? It'd be different if profits went to animal welfare groups, (NOT animal rights groups, they don't do shit.) which I don't think they do. Donating money to organizations like these might actually have an affect, more so than spending money making a shitty documentary which hipsters simply link to each other saying BAWWW WATCH THISS
