    I think the most basic respect you can offer an animal is to just not kill it.

      That’s fair. I accept that I am not the second coming, but I live in this world as best I can while still enjoying the comforts it offers

            Thank you, I’m also a huge fan of spinach! I also love lazy wordplay and alliteration - I’ve been thinking of making an alt account called lethargiclettuce just cuz haha. Your UN also made me smile for the same reason haha

      That should apply to all living things. Kind of makes it hard to survive if we do that, though.

        There’s a goldilocks zone where our own individual longevity can be met while simultaneously causing the least harm to all life, within practicality. That zone being within the territory of the blue zones to one degree or another. Or to be straight to the point, it is completely unnecessary for the vast majority of people to ever need to depend on animal products for food.

        Not really. Just like everything else it’s just a little bit of a learning curve. Then it becomes normal and easy.
