is there anything a human could do to an animal which you would classify as “rape”?
i doubt it.
you think all humans have rights
i think rights are a fiction. i don't believe they exist at all.
ok? that doesn't change the effectiveness of being vegan.
and if done to cattle, it's a veterinary procedure
they stop producing meat.
meat production increases every year
i'm saying i know how linear time works, so i know that buying meat on a shelf can't have caused the animal it came from to be killed.
there is not any way to prove such a claim, as you cannot prove a counterfactual.
the person doing the killing is usually paid by someone but most people are neither killing nor paying the killers. they are both paid long before someone walks into a grocery store.
It reduces demand for meat, lowering production
production increases every year.
being vegan doesn't do anything about those
I didn't say anything about a medical condition
it can be icky without being immoral.
