mfs who have never had any experience with animals beyond domestic pets love to try and educate us idiotic country bumpkins about livestock
#kris.txt#thinking about the time i was telling a guy abt how i wanted to have hens for eggs one day#and he kept insisting that i needed a rooster as well#or the hens wouldn't be able to lay

Why were snake and otacon keeping their poor chickens separate and in the darkness, maybe it's not Sunny's fault the eggs tasted atrocious. Did they try to kill eachother all the time (and that's also why they were named after snakes)?
#also i'm pretty sure you need a rooster for hens to lay eggs at all#maybe he isn't shown because whatever mgs-related name he'd be given it would end up rather awkward

HEMP.
MYCELIUM LEATHER. CACTUS LEATHER.
PLANT-BASED RUBBER AND LATEX.
WILD BEES that aren't pushed out by INVASIVE SPECIES of domestic bee.
Not every vegan is an animal abusing PETA cultist, OP. The venn diagram between vegans, ARAs and PETA members is not a fucking circle.
Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;
I am PRO-WOOL
I am PRO-LEATHER
I am PRO-BEES
Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.
Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.
#before yall jump down my throat calling me a vegan cuck or smth: i returned to eating meat bc i DO get cost nutrients & accessibility issues#i do purchase local organic honey and secondhand leather clothing#if i do occasionally order nondairy milk i avoid almond milk bc i know there's ethics issues#if i do eat eggs i get them local and free range and try to leave one in the nest so the hen doesn't stress lay too badly#if i can wear denim I'll wear that over leather#anyway my point is#stop thinking every ARA or vegan is some kind of cheapass white middleclass consumerist capitalist with no concern for the environment#true vegans know PETA are full of shit and want to shove PETA members into the abattoir's Pork Gassing Stations head first

I think it's a common misconception that domesticating animals is somewhat like enslaving them. It really is more of a symbiotic relationship. No wild animal would have willingly put up with early humans if they didn't get something out of it. Wolves wouldn't have stayed with us and become dogs if they weren't getting food and safety out of it. Many large herbivores that are now domesticated could and would have easily trampled their early human captors or broken their enclosures open if they didn't have a reason to stay. Sometimes individual animals still do if we don't give them what they need.
The animals that have stayed with us for thousands of years have evolved to cooperate with us better. Dogs have additional facial muscles around their eyes that wolves lack in order to mimic human facial expressions. Sheep grow their wool perpetually while their wild counterparts don't because a bigger fleece means they're more likely to be allowed to breed and be kept around. Domestic dairy cows produce much more milk than wild bovine species and domestic hens lay more eggs. Do you know how energy costly producing eggs or milk is for an animal? It's pretty intense! They wouldn't be able to do that if we hadn't given them the food and safety from predators and the elements to.
And we really need to show these animals respect and gratitude for what they give us by taking excellent care of them. They gave up a lot to be with us, often including the means to take care of themselves in the wild. That's a huge reason why I'm not against using animal products, but I hate factory farming. They are still living, breathing creatures with needs and feelings. They deserve a comfortable life and, when the time comes, a humane death.
