You really said "we won the food chain" like you wouldn't run screaming from a slightly pissed off badger haha.
What a fucking absurd stance, the school of "if I can do it: it must be fine to do" ethics.
I didn't say it's my opinion, you silly goose.
The lack of critical thinking here is insane
Edit: the whole way we won the food chain isnt about standing toe to toe with any animal, we productionized their whole existence.
Beyond that I don't know how you could know what animals I am or am not afraid of, that's a pretty silly assumption
Uh huh, I believe you. You're so tough and smart and strong, bravely debating and owning the libs, casually fighting badgers armed with nothing but your Jordan Peterson body pillow.
To think that Aldous Huxley was known as the last Renaissance man when you were among us all along.
Ok not sure what I'm debating here, is it really a point of argument that some folks are fine with consuming meat? Is it really a point of argument that humans are at the top of the global food chain?
Edit are you just 3 badgers in a trench coat?
Some people would call this the "law of the jungle", or the natural state of things.
It's also not reasonable to assume any one person would run screaming from a badger. People wrestle crocodiles and mountain lions and win.
If anyone thinks that I hope they get hunted by a sadist, are kept as their plaything, and live a long life begging for death.
It's a completely asinine opinion that absolutely nobody worth giving a modicum of time or respect to maintains. There's not even any point talking about, it's like chiming in with the fact that some people think smearing shit on toilet walls is the correct thing to do when discussing how to grow food.
Also anyone who gets defensive about the idea they would run screaming from a moderately pissed off badger has never interacted with a badger and would absolutely run screaming from one.
