Yet you still support it when you buy meat and dairy. Just like most other meat-eaters who agree it's offensive, and claim to buy only 'humane' meat, yet still continue to eat at restaurants which of course use commercially-produced meat and dairy from those abominations called factory farms.

You don't know anything about my buying habits because I haven't said anything about them.

Are you sure? Why are you participating in this discussion then?

Because I had a perspective I felt was unique. You even admitted that it was.

For someone who claims to be into rigorous study, you seem not to study up much here and rather, just think you're "right."

I don't think I'm right. I've told you I have no intention of convincing you of anything. You are perfectly welcome to your moral stance, but you don't get to have a monopoly on morality any more than I do.

Perhaps it is important to add here that argumentation doesn't lead to truth. We argue to establish the internal coherence of the perspectives we are already beholden to. Similarly, we argue to knock down perspectives we are already opposed to. Monica, I'm saying you're arguing against a straw man because you are looking for the interpretations of my perspective that do not hold water rather than the interpretations that do. I've given ample information to support a coherent perspective, but no amount of commentary will make a case that appears watertight to you, so I'm not going to try. Besides, I really don't want to convince you. I simply wanted to add a perspective. I did so in response to you and Diana, only because it is easier for me to speak in response to someone else. BTW, I've watched some of your videos.
