Before tractors, almost the entire food chain involved animal slavery, since farms used draft animals. For that matter, even transportation was based on animal slavery (horses).

To be vegan, is to choose fossilized animal products and services over fresh.
Turnabout is fair play, surely?
No, because the vegans are right, eating meat isn’t justifiable. You can’t “both sides” morality. The attempt is an admission that you’ve lost the plot.

Since you’ve already decided how my part of the discussion is going to go, you may as well go ahead and hold it without me.
