    Would you support enforced veganism, and jailing anybody who eats or prepares meat?

        I just want to be clear what your position is. You’re not just encouraging veganism, you’re calling on the violence of the police to beat and imprison people who eat meat.

        I’m not necessarily arguing against it, I just want the clarity that you finally provided.

        It’s easy to suggest outlawing stuff without considering the violence necessary for outlawing things. You have clearly considered (and enthusiastically endorse) that violence.

        Of course if you imprison all meat eaters but still use oil to harvest, process, and distribute all the plant based foods then the world will still burn, but that’s beyond the scope of this particular issue.

      No, I don’t support jail for anyone, because it’s a bad way to solve crime. I think anyone who eats meat should be sentenced to something productive like community service, or therapy to get to the bottom of why they think they have the right to kill others.

        I would refuse that community service and therapy. What would happen then?

          Well then under communism, you wouldn’t be invited to any of the cool parties, and you’d be refused service at most non-essential places like restaurants and gyms. People would think you’re a weirdo.

        The post to which I replied said:

        So at some point you as an individual have to adapt to a vegan diet, either by choice or because there is no alternative.

        Do you want to stop eating meat the moment it is outlawed?

        We need both regulation to end animal farming and convince individual consumers, that they have to become vegans

        If they want “regulations” to “end” animal farming then I just want to be clear that they support imprisoning people who prepare or eat meat. They went to the extreme of jail without mentioning the word jail.

          Mate, it’s illegal for teenagers to buy R rated movies and I’ve never heard of anyone going to jail for it. Why can’t meat be like that?
