- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Stuff from milk, mushrooms and eggs don’t scream, so do a lot of salads and olive oil, even rice is silent.
And don’t start with those industrial cows that only get to live because of the milk. That stuff tastes like shit. Same with those chickens in cages.
I'm pretty sure, that both cow and calf are screaming when they are separated shortly after birth. Alnost like a mother and her baby have an emotional bond.
And even the smallest farm will absolutely kill them once they aren't profitable anymore, or they'd have an ever increasing population of animals.
Ummm.... We don't typically have just one pen or pasture for the animals. The males and females are typically kept separate from each other, except for when we specifically want more animals.
Cattle are artificially inseminated when farmers want more, they don't get put all together
We didn't have cattle. Just horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, a couple turkeys, and rabbits.... Tons of rabbits accidentally one time. We let them do their thing when we wanted more.
The context was factory farming in general and cows in particular. I'm glad you didn't kill the animals your family raised, though!

your link implies that male calves all become veal, but the vast majority of male calves are brought to full weight before slaughter.
is that supposed to make it better or are you being a pedant?
i'm pointing out that you're spreading misinformation.
frankly, i don't. i'm happy correcting the record.
i object to your characterization, and it does nothing to either bolster your own claim nor undercut my own. it's a simple ad hominem.
On second thought youre probably really young in which case I want to apologise. You're right that I neither argued for the claim in the link nor against your claim, I don't care about either of them since their irrelevant to the main point. Word of advice though, these kind of "fallacy debates" about irrelevant details are not productive I have never witnessed someone being swayed by it. Find something you actually care about then argue about that. Argue why you care for it, people are much more convinced by emotion than some stylized formal argument.
truth. i care about what is true.
Try something material. Something that has an effect in your material context.
i don't tell you what to value. please extend the same courtesy.
another attack on identity. try to stay with the topic at hand. who i am has no bearing on the truth of my statements or yours.
Another debate term. I'm not arguing with you. I don't care about the truth value of that statement since it's irrelevant to the point that I wanted to make. Please stop seeing every conversation through the lense of which fallacy can be applied. Not everything is a debate.
You'll see it's a much more freeing and fun way to interact with people, I promise.
if you don't care about whether what i said is true, and alli did was state a fact, then why are you responding at all? it seems to me you very much want to discourage me from keeping the discussion truthful, and i speculate it is because the facts damage your own position.
didn't this start because you were linking fallacies??
