In Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous region of the East African nation of Tanzania, sea turtle meat has proven to be a sometimes deadly delicacy. Officials have warned against consuming it.

    Yeah, don’t . . . . don’t eat sea turtles, okay.

    Everybody? Like if you were sitting around rubbing your belly and licking your lips going “Mmmm mmmm wish I had a big sea turtle meat dish right now”, like - don’t. Okay?

    Just leave the sea turtles alone. They got enough hassles.

        Everyone who downvoted this should know that pigs are raised in pens where they don’t have enough room to turn around and have to sleep and give birth in their own shit.

        But hey, the narwhal bacons at midnight, right?

            That you are slaughtering them. So you aren’t testing them well at all. That’s just a thing you say so you can feel better about knowingly causing harm. Do you treat your cat well until you kill the for the pleasure of their body? Do you treat your dog well until someone pays you enough to kill it?

            Being nice to a creature before murdering it doesn’t absolve the murder. Not causing harm in another is the standard for ethical behavior, not you going the extra mile.

              I do a rudimentary arithmetic and geometry test before slaughter.

              They’re not going to live forever in nature and I give them a very good life.

              Plus all the great meats come from pig.

              Bacon, ham, and all the other great porky bits.

                Again. Does not absolve murder. Literally no one will live forever, but that’s not a reason why you can kill your neighbors.

                Plus all the great meats come from pig.

                Harming a creature for your own personal pleasure is the logic of dog fighting. You don’t need to watch that as entertainment just as you don’t need to kill for the enjoyment of food.

                I feel like you using very selfish reasoning. Does assault, rape or murder become moral if I enjoy it enough?
