She still found it inhumane.

You're right I mean they could just boil the loving crab alive instead of releasing that forgeter.

But did you loving know that crabs in the wild actually rip their own arm off to distract a predator while they get away? It's not like the crab loving cares, the crab instinctively will rip its own claw off.
King Tøny:
SJWs are upset over releasing a crab with 1 less arm now? At least it's not loving dead.

it probably died somewhere because it didn't have enough clawpower to eat whatever the forget it eats

--- Quote from: otto-san on March 13, 2017, 10:16:37 PM ---we can absolutely digest raw meat (x). the reason we don't is because of a few reasons:
1) raw meat is risky, and can often carry pathogens that can damage our bodies. cooking food, in most cases, eliminates this concern.
2) cooking meat improves our ability to process and effectively absorb all the nutrients in food. this does not mean we get no benefit from raw meat, we simply have figured out that cooking meat is greatly beneficial to our diets. (x)
3) like i said in my previous post, cooking meat and taking advantage of the benefits of this process is what allowed our brains to develop more complex structures, and paved way to our rise in intelligence.

it is objectively more beneficial and typically more pleasant for us to consume meat when it is not raw, but we can absolutely, undebatably process and get at least something out of raw meat if we have to. lots of dishes involve eating meat that is either uncooked or minimally cooked (x), and you better believe that, in the wild, we couldn't have survived if we could only benefit from food when it's cooked. i don't understand where this idea that food is only useful to us when we heat it up comes from.

and again, plants do not conveniently provide all the necessary proteins we need for survival (x). this is fine these days, but in the wild, this is a practical concern because a large, sufficient variety of plants that provide all the proteins needed would not be readily available

I'm at least a little bit smarter than PhantOS so I could make this argument a little better.

Humans evolved to hunt their meat, not to have it mass-produced for them. The modern invention of meat processing is absolutely devastating both in lives and upon the envirornment. The meat industry is one of the most damaging forces, causing massive amounts of pollution, carbon emission, and water-waste. It also kills roughly 56 billion (or more) farm animals each year--nearly one trillion animals dead since the dawn of the 21st century. Those one trillion animals were raised in torturous conditions, being left in cramped conditions, riddled with disease, often so fat they can't even walk. They are often slaughtered by having their throats cut and being left to bleed out while still conscious, or being dropped into tanks of boiling water. If that doesn't weigh on your conscious, I don't know what could.

To say that humans evolved to essentially genocide other beings is a disgusting corruption of natural evolution. This slaughter isn't natural--and we can say that for certain, because it is destroying our planet.
