It’s easy to get all sympathetic with a mammal that has a face, but insects? Have you seen an insects face? No thanks.
Cute animal = aww don’t kill it so we can live
Insect = they can all die for all I care
vegans, probably.
… And don’t at me about how many there are or anything. Or that they don’t suffer like mammals do… The biomass of cows alone outweighs humans, and I’m sure chickens aren’t far behind. I’m also certain that there’s been studies showing that insects react to stimulus, and we have just as much information about their experience of pain as we do for animals. Quiet.
To be fair, a lot of vegans have made that choice because of how animals suffer in factory farms. That’s valid and I won’t debate it; but you’re probably not crying over dead bugs. So this really isn’t aimed at you. You’re good. Your reasons are valid. I’m not a vegan but I can recognise that the treatment of animals in factory farming needs to be improved. At the same time, I have accepted that Bessie tastes really good in spite of how she was treated. I made my choice. I live with that.
I’d guess, all of them.
