if the cow was fucking talking to me yeah I would

Who wouldn't save a talking cow?

These.

>>280416856 (OP)
I would but this character wouldn't..

>>280416856 (OP)
retarded analogy

>durr hurr you'd never contemplate sparing a chicken
Look if a chicken started spouting philosophy about its right to live at me I'd just eat cheese or some shit. Pisses me off when they pull this shit in fiction. Especially egregious when vampires do it cause those faggots used to be human so their argument carries 0 weight

>>280416856 (OP)
no I would go to the hospital because im clearly going insane

>>280417173
Some people very definitely don't think that way, and would either kill still because they see a talking animal as a threat, or because whether it can talk or not or has intelligence has no importance to whether it's life is subjectively worth anything solely because it's not human.

>>280416904
>>280416977
That's assuming a talking animal is unheard of and not at all a common thing that happens, of course. Meanwhile, in the Bible:
>Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff. Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”
>Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.”

SEX with the talking cow.

>>280417578
the bible is fiction though

>>280417532
I'm not gonna kill a creature that couldn't talk yesterday to fulfill my hunger for a day
I'll just eat eggs
Chickens who talk wouldn't really care as they can make more and it hasn't become a chick yet

>>280417532
I mean, I have digestive issues, so it depends. Sometimes I'm just not hungry and skip multiple meals.
This isn't the killer hypothetical you or /pol/ retards think it is.

>>280416904
if all cows can talk and the majority have sub IQ then it's not worth preserving everyone, at best you can keep the standouts while massacring the rest. Meruem was correct.

>>280417655
>and it hasn't become a chick yet
Actually, they'll never become chicks. All the eggs you buy are unfertilized.

When an author tries both "But Humans are the real monsters" and "humans are cattle" at the same time. Everything that made the chimeras more than mindless beasts they stole from humans to begin with.

>>280417752
They would be talking cows.

>>280416856 (OP)
no
i understand his point, that's why i don't really feel sad about his death

>>280417752
they're still cows you dumb fuck, if you turned into a talking cow you'd be useless beside talking someone's ears to death.

Asians have entire reastaurants where they eat sea animals alive. You've probably heard of mukbangers doing it too. Asian culture is incredibly cynical, the core of their worldview is the sort of belief in a just world where if anything bad ever happens to you it's your fault, and you most certainly don't deserve empathy because that's a waste of time for others when they could be doing something productive/enjoyable instead. Under this view, it wouldn't matter if a cow was talking. Satisfying one's sadism and a desire to feel any semblance of power in a cold uncaring world would probably be more important for an average Asian.

Also, like >>280417578 says, this is twisting the premise by focusing on a cow's abiloty to speak as something notable. If you were raised and conditioned to see talking cows as inferior your whole life, this would mean nothing to you.
>>280417173
>Especially egregious when vampires do it cause those faggots used to be human so their argument carries 0 weight
Why? Pragmatically, it doesn't matter what they used to be, only what they are now. Does it make 0 sense for people who get rich to despise the poor?

>>280417619
Silence, Redditor

>>280417532
You're the one getting mad that people are actually engaging with the hypothetical and explaining what they'd do in the situation you'd described and why.
What answer were you hoping for? For everyone in the threat to start crying and apologizing for eating meat, because you described a fictional situation where a cow was sapient?

>>280417173
>Especially egregious when vampires do it cause those faggots used to be human so their argument carries 0 weight
I don't get it? Vampires treating humans like chicken is dumb because they used to be humans?

>>280416904
>>280416977
So if every animal on the planet started talking, would you go vegan?

You can MAYBE eat dairy/eggs/etc if the cows and chickens are treated humanely and the animals give consent.

>>280417578

What exactly do you think this proves?

A cow is fine too...

>>280416856 (OP)
If the cows looked like this.

>>280416856 (OP)
Yeah sure why not.

>>280418071
It's kinda bullshit when vampires act like they've transcended humanity because by and large they still have very human desires and ways of thinking. Despite being undead parasites they're usually not above human nature at all.

>>280419529
If they were all proven to be sapient yes no shit lol, I don't wanna be eating creatures that are our peers, it's not really morally different from killing and eating a human.

>>280416856 (OP)
Does the talking cow grant wishes?

>would you still call it a girl if I said it had a penis?-togashi when asked about pitou

>>280419529
if every animal was suddenly capable of intelligent conversation, then I would go vegetarian, not vegan, since the idea that none of the intelligent animals wouldn't be willing to engage in trade is ridiculous

>>280417578
This story sucked. 1/10 only because I like donkeys.

>>280419529
What if the plants start talking?

>>280427452
If the plants start talking, shit's so fucked that intellectual consistency is no longer a priority

plants deserve to suffer, so it's fine

>>280417578
>common thing
You brought up a story that calls to Divine Providence. That's the opposite of common by definition.

An animal with a human-level intellect would not be considered to be an animal to begin with. When an antagonist uses low-grade sophistry like this it’s just to dehumanize his victims, it’s not a serious argument.

>>280428383

Love it.

>>280428383
>An animal with a human-level intellect would not be considered to be an animal to begin with
It would if the jews wanted it and conditioned you to believe it should. Any conversation about this would end with a thought-termibating cliche of "come on, eating talking animals is clearly natural, and if you don't think it is you're weird fuckung loser cowcel lol"

>>280416856 (OP)
I've never butchered a cow in my life nor have I seen any live cow that I've consumed the meat of. Assuming my consumption of beef is average I eat 1/10 of a cow in year so at worst only 3 cows have died for me to live. Part of the reason I oppose the cosumtion of whale meat is because their general intelligence.

>>280416856 (OP)
Yeah, probably

chimera ant is a threat to humanity's existence

>>280428383
That’s why Netero humbled him and refused to speak with him, Meruem is just too childlike mentally

>>280430867
At 60% of a cow being edible, one cow gives 800 pounds of beef. An average person does not eat 80 pounds of beef a year unless you're counting people that don't eat beef

>>280417532
I often skip breakfast and rarely if ever eat meat for breakfast. At worst I drink milk, which I could replace with Almond milk if I cared enough.

I don't eat beef in general because it's overly expensive.

>>280419529
I would just eat fish instead.

>>280416856 (OP)
bitch got checkmate'd and nuked by his equivalent of a cow lol

Chimera arc is easily the worst part of the series and only reddit jerks off about it. Togashi is such a hack when he does his HUMANS BAD arc in every manga just because he got bullied for being a little faggot as a kid

Some people break the necks of dogs just for the fun of it. That's not most people, or even a large amount of people.

Cows already communicate and you don't need to understand them to see their suffering.

Not great, but certainly not bad enough to start eating talking animals.

I can't find the actual comic but by the same artist and set up of 2 cowboys by the campfire had this little gem:

"You realize that if cows could talk, we'd have to lie to them?"

>>280431033
a quick bing search gave me a 800lbs-1600lbs range for the weight of cows of which 60% gets converted into meat for human consumption, I then I picked the numbers that made the math easiest.

>>280416904
Fpbp yet again

>>280431132

taxanomically humans are fish.

>>280433404
>"You realize that if cows could talk, we'd have to lie to them?"
I don't get it? Humans will still treat cows as food?

>>280434954
Yeah, if they were to suddenly gain speech and consciousness, in order to keep our standard of living the way it is we'd have to keep them in the dark about what we do to them.
