He doesn't eat humans or variations of incarcerated pregnant ladies' nonconsensually acquired breast milk. He respects them at least the same actually.
Yes instead of killing mammals he does the humane thing of subjecting them to a long life of ruin and despair.
Hey, nobody said he was a wholly good person. Dude's going to jail for a reason.
Those animals don't have money to steal though, so really it's hard to make an equivalency.
The equivalency I've provided is equivalent. If animals were moral agents with bank accounts he may have done the same to them while still respecting their bodily autonomy. But they are just moral subjects with no bank accounts, so I'm only going to make equivalent what is certain. I don't think you can certainly say he respects non-human animals more than humans.
I mean, I don't think he does respect animals more than humans. I don't really believe that's he's actually vegan.
Well homie I've got evidence that suggests he is and you have none that says he isn't so I'm just going to work with that.
That's cool dawg. You can support the shit bag that ripped off thousands of people for billions of dollars if it helps you sleep at night. I don't believe for a second someone that messed up can have a good thought. So he may say he's vegan, but I doubt it.
I support the right to abstain from putting murdered or otherwise non-consenting conscious beings bodily fluid inside your body, irrespective of person. No need to mischaracterize.
You're right, I'm not being fair. Look I can get behind vegans being given vegan options. I even think he should have vegan options. But for this piece of shit in particular, I'm not gonna cry for him waiting for those options.
