In a way vomiting is sort of compulsory; it's your stomach telling your brain to shut up and get out of the way because we've work going on down here.

Because cats, if they live, they always kill quite a few birds and rodents. Killing a cat is like killing somebody before they commit a mass shooting. It is not wrong to kill somebody who is about to commit a mass shooting, is it? For the same reason, it is not wrong to kill a cat.

Every year, more people are killed by cattle than are killed by wolves, bears, and sharks combined. By your ‘logic’ we should preemptively kill every bovine on Earth before they wipe us out.

Do you actually listen to yourself, or do you just sort of fade in and out?

The vast majority of cattle don't kill anybody. And those that do kill do not do it intentionally. The vast majority of cats do kill mice, and they kill them intentionally. See the difference?

Yes, it is. Humans evolved to eat meat. Meat is good for you. There is no logical reason to abstain from eating meat.

How is meat good for us? It's the only source of heme iron. And it's the main source of saturated fat.

Cats are predators.  Mice are prey.  See how that works?

If you have never been chased by a bull, then you don't have any idea how intentional their actions are.  Grandpa always let us be around the cows but we were always warned to stay away from the bull....when in the barn he was in last stall on the right.

And a sow will fuck you up if you make one of her babies squeal.  Quite intentional is she in her actions.

I wonder if he has ever seen an animal in real life.

Not to mention that rodents are great vectors for diseases which afflict other animals, if only unintentionally.
