I don’t think you do, but I think it’s a contradiction to be sure. I’ll say that I think it’s fine to eat animals, but also I think it’s not okay to have sex with them, and somewhere in between those two beliefs is artificial insemination of pigs and in practical terms that’s a practice that just makes me shrug, so I suppose that my belief that it’s not okay to have sex with animals is weaker than my belief that it’s fine to eat them.
Why does the crime depend on what the person is getting out of it? If it’s done to a human, does it not count as sexual assault if it isn’t for sexual gratification? Please explain. Violent crimes are wrong because of the effect on the victim, not the perpetrator.
Let’s back up to square one. Is it wrong to perform sex acts on a non-human animal? If so, why? You’re talking too abstractly so I’d really like to just get something concrete to discuss with.
i don’t think that’s square one, i think square one is further back.
Is a doctor (or medical technician or whatever job title idc) doing the last step of IVF performing a sex act on or with the patient? the adult patient consents of course, but i don’t think anyone thinks a doctor with a “turkey baster” is doing a sex act. I would say “preforming sex acts on…” isn’t applicable to animal husbandry in the way i understand all those words.
i’m not trying to debate bro here, it’s just not possible to have a conversation if we think words mean different things… which gets back to my previous point about vegans using a wider “bestiality” than the rest of us, apparently including Kinsey.
if we are going to equate animals and humans in your logic…
Having sex with an animal is as bad as incest, arguing there is no material reason for being against bestiality would also mean there is no reason against incest as a person who has sexual inclinations.
You have to take up a finger-wagging “how dare you” stance and strawman my argument because you can’t offer any coherent defense of your actions
I’d tell you to watch Dominion, but you clearly have no interest in examining the reality behind your decisions
Honestly if you’d just said “Yes, I know my decision to eat meat is predicated on horrific suffering on an industrial scale, but I don’t care” I’d have at least a modicum of respect for you for acknowledging the choice you’re making rather than acting like other people are beyond the pale for bringing it up

oh my god you fucking pieces of shit can’t get it through your head that not everyone who doesn’t like you isnt the same copy paste reactionary. Get a grip and get a life.

what the actual fuck is wrong with you
god yall are fucking gahhhh
WHAT THE FUCK
hexbear is great but this is a very bad moment from them
I’m not even vegan but they’re right. The meat industry does what would be considered SA to cows, sows etc every single day.
so that means I fucking support this weirdo who wants to fuck animals? What the fuck does this have to do with this?
fucking weirdos

i have only ever heard vegans extend the definition of bestiality to include actions that are not for the sexual gratification of the person.

because your use of terminology is subcultural and the rest of us don’t think it applies to the situation

There are two constants on hexbear.net, vegans will advocate for animals, and Catradora_Stalinism will [removed by mod]
you weren’t standing up for anyone, despite your opinions animals will continue to be slaughtered, and all you’ve done is type
