    Some judgement here. Knowingly causing suffering to sentient beings for your pleasure non consensually is kinda squicky. At least get the cow at the end of the universe that wants you to eat it.

      Where are you going to draw the line? If every creature is worthy of consideration there won’t be much left to eat.

            Gee gosh, haven’t heard that clever and witty argument before. Not even vegans are trying to be perfect, they’re trying to minimize suffering. The top comment didn’t say they’d care about field mice, they said they don’t care about sentience because they take pleasure in the products of its destruction. Not really interested in talking any more with someone that misses the point so obviously whenever on purpose or because of a lack of mental faculties. Bye.

              You’re just comfortable with suffering you’re willfully ignorant of. You don’t care about sentience any more than they do.

                So why bother limiting harm eh, let’s just go gloves off psycho because animals might die by accident while we’re trying to avoid harming them.

                Braindead logic.

                  The suffering of sentient beings that directly results from human activity isn’t an accident just because the harm wasn’t the main or direct intention. Factory farming is not ethically justifiable whether it’s cattle, fruit, vegetables, or grain.

                  Braindead logic is thinking you’re better than anyone else because the creatures you harm get left in the field to rot.

                    Do you seriously think your argument has even a tiny bit of sense to it?

                    Until harm can be eradicated, we limit it. Trying to suggest that people eating a plant based diet might as well not bother because field mice is absurd.
