So why discriminate on what species you kill and what you love? Deer have all of the same characteristics as dogs: they form relationships, love, suffer, feel pain, etc.

Be consistent and respect all. Eat plants - it’s easy.

I love an animal based off it's relationship to me. We're I a part of, or guest of, a nation that eats animals with which we are traditionally companions, I would have no qualms about eating said animal either.

Why not go preach to a mountain lion about turning vegan, and see what it does to you. Stop acting like your way is superior just because you're human. That's anthropocentric bullshit. We're animals too, and we are omnivorous.

Your values are “be selfish and kill everything in sight unless it provides value to me when kept alive?” That is disturbing. Why not be consistent instead of arbitrarily choosing who has value (species discrimination, known as carnism)

You are not a mountain lion 🤦‍♂️. You do not need meat nor animal products to survive. Just because we can live off of meat doesn’t mean we have to. nutritionfacts.org/daily-dozen

Also the irony of calling me superior when you think you get to decide what species lives and dies while I’m simply asking for compassion for all. The tired arguments you are making have been used throughout time to justify human atrocities and genocides as well as animal ones. Check yourself and read up on plant based nutrition. Add some plants to your diet - I promise you you won’t die of protein deficiency 😂
