I don't like assholes, either. People can consume what they want to consume unless they want to consume something endangered. Because smurf you, your taste or desire isn't more important than a species or ecosystem, trouthead. And I am being judgmental as hell right there, because a lot of cultures prize certain types of animal materials to the point that they've completely destroyed said species and there's something really wrong about making a bunch of animals dead to have fake cures for something as ludicrous and asinine as erectile dysfunction. There's no scientific basis that reindeer velvet, rhino horns and tiger penes do anything to the human body, but people will drive an entire species to the brink of non-existence to try and resolve superficial problems. Call it bastardized ethnocentrism, but some parts of all cultures are better off going away, especially parts of my own.

Personally, I don't believe I have more right or privilege to live than the animals I eat. I'm just lucky to be human.

If someone wants to know why I choose to eat what I choose to eat they can ask me and we can have a conversation about it. I ask vegan and vegetarian people crazy-ass questions all the time because I just want to know how they get along in a world that is designed without them in mind.
