About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

It's for scientific research though.

If you eat basically any form of meat, I have some bad news for you...

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

I do give deer hunting a pass because they're overpopulated in places (because humans wiped out their native predators).

Feel free to try and change my mind so I can wipe that off my ever-shrinking personal "ethically ok to eat meats" list. For all I know this is one of those lies I was raised with that I've not examined since childhood. Edit: context is in Kentucky, USA 20 years ago. I don't know about deer populations elsewhere and elsewhen.

Pretty sure you can hunt nursing deer in most places.

Edit: can't! You can't hunt while the babies are babies.

Former vegan, current pescatarian here.

Dont stop hunting, please. Humans did a phenomenal job of ensuring a required hunting season for deer by wiping out all the natural predators, now without them we have to have culls. If you participate in said culls, PLEASE eat the meat, use the pelt, give the antlers to your dog. We've forced ourselves into a position where some of us MUST take up the mantle of predator. If you choose to, just be responsible with the carcass so it didn't die for no good reason.

Edit: accidentally lied, I'm not a vegetarian I'm a pescatarian who outside of her 6 shrimp a week is vegan.

This applies boars as well

To add a wrinkle: there's now "farmed deer". It's supposedly more environmentally friendly than farmed cow, but I don't like it because β€’vague feelings I've not fully examinedβ€’.

So don't assume any venison you find in the grocery store was hunted.

Wow, thanks, I hate it!

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Vague feelings? I think your feelings are pretty spot-on, farming an animal whose population is already excessive in the wild is bizarre.

Wild deer are more environmentally friendly than farmed deer.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 week ago

The feelings are vague because I can't put them confidently into words, but your explanation resonates.

Only time I've eaten meat in the past ~30 years was when I ate some invasive fish that had been caught in a killathon to restore native habitat. Not that it's my role to "give you a pass," but I certainly do in this case!

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apparently there's spear fisherfolk in Florida that kill invasive lionfish and provide them to local restaurants. I'm all for killing and eating invasive species.

Or drink milk. Vegetarians don't get a pass.

I only drink polar bear milk. I find the chalky cod liver oil taste delightful.

There's whale meat in my steak!?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 49 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean yes, but what do you think happens to regular fish

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Many of us are against that too. Whales just happen to be exceedingly intelligent and capable of forming powerful emotional bonds

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 week ago

Farm animals have it even worse

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whales are the farmers of the sea. They fertilize the open oceans and produce more food than they eat. Especially the biggest ones, like the fin whales Japan has decided to hunt again. So if you like sea food, maybe don't kill the whales.

Tried making a joke here before reading more about it and now I regret the joke so I edited this out.

The human experience is built on cruelty.

[–] arsCynic@beehaw.org 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

The human experience is built on cruelty.

Well, almost. The human experience of the imperial core is built on cruelty. I'm pretty sure the Native Americans weren't slaughtering animals on an industrial scale.
