    The lives of animals are also worth more than property. It’s honestly disgusting how people justify exterminating entire species just to build a golf course or sports stadium or something.

      Not just golf courses or stadiums. Also farms for domesticated animals. I want to say that the largest biome in the world now is pasture for cows. Sad

      It’s also pretty disgusting how people are okay with taking a life just because they feel like having a burger, and not only the rich are guilty of that one

        The people against veganism always have this doublethink of humans being both superior to all other animals yet can’t and shouldn’t move past their predatory instincts. If we’re so advanced and civilized you’d think we’d move on to more ethical and efficient ways of getting nutrients.

    I’m trying to think of physical goods I’d be willing to sacrifice a life for (not mine, someone else’s). Food aside (which doesn’t really count) I’d 100% burn down all the world’s cities to save one life … nevermind I found the line.

    Housing the homeless is worth a human life. 100 homes per life I’ll say.

    Trains too. I’d sacrifice a life to save a train line (not mine, someone else’s).

    We humans sure do like to assign value to things. Unfortunately that value has no weight outside human society. I have no value or meaning and I know that as an absolute truth.
