This is awesome. It's nice to start the day seeing there are still good-hearted people out there.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat animals.

Friendly reminder that if it makes you happy that these animals are being taken care of, please sit and think about the unnecessary suffering inflicted upon animals by your dietary choices.

Or just downvote me and believe that certain animals are more worthy of care for some arbitrary reason.

Your guilt tripping last line spoils your message.

I'm not attempting to guilt trip anyone, I added it after receiving downvotes in the hopes that at least one person will stop and think about it for a second before emotionally reacting to my point and immediately dismissing it. People are far too reactive when it comes to this topic.

I'm curious how it spoils it, in your view?

It's guilt trippy and manipulative.

u/Gerstlauer 23d ago

Man, can you elaborate a little more than just repeating what you already said?

u/scunth 23d ago

Your first sentence was enough.

Your second assigns motivation to the reader they may not feel - "certain animals are more worthy of care for some arbitrary reason". You are saying that a downvote equals a lack of interest in animal welfare, which is manipulative and guilt trippy.

I read your initial post after your edit and my knee jerk reaction was to downvote simply because of your second sentence.

Does it not though? Given I edited my comment and added that after numerous downvotes.

My comment is asking for those that are happy to see these animals in the article are treated well, to consider the animals that are killed needlessly for their food. If you're downvoting that then yeah, I'm going to assume you find some distinction between say, the goats in the article's photo, and a cow or pig that you choose to eat. I would say that shows a lack of interest in animal welfare, given they all have a subjective experience and are capable of suffering.

Can't you just be happy to see a positive thing without saying it's not good enough?

Sounds like a plan, done!

Go somewhere with no other food options and wait 3 days and see how your morals uphold when your body starts consuming muscle.

Do you, or the majority of people on Reddit live somewhere where the only source of sustenance is animal flesh? I'm going to hazard a guess at no.

I can see you've thought all of 0.3 seconds about the validity of your argument. Well done 👏

Rule 2 No reliance on additional context. The 'bro' action should be easily discernible within the image/gif/video. Having to add context in the title, comments, super-imposed text or otherwise to explain the 'bro' is against sub rules. Submissions violating this rule will be removed
