Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- 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).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm pretty sure it's only common to not eat cats and dogs and small birds for no other reason than because they taste bad/don't provide much food while also providing other services we find more valuable than they would have as food. Even if that service is companionship. Cats curb pests. Dogs help do all sorts of things. Even birds have uses other than simply pets.
Carnivores generally aren’t good to eat. That definitely plays a part.
Simple. If you name it, you don't eat it. Also, most carnivores taste terrible so we avoid eating those.
I love my basil plant and take care of it, but one day I'll come along and definitely eat it
Plants are not sentient
This post isn't about the ability to feel pain or sentence, it's about the paradox of people eating something they claim to feel compassion for. I can feel compassion for both animals and plants but will still eat them
Just because there is no indication of their suffering doesn't mean they don't suffer.
They aren't but they're not far off... Trees communicate with each other through fungus in their roots, if one is being attacked it let's the others know, I can't remember what evasive action the others take but still...
So what? Traffic lights communicate with each other as well. That doesn't mean we should grant them moral worth. The ability to suffer and be conscious does.
That depends on how you define sentience, how you intepret the definition of sentience and the fact that science could change the definition
How to trigger a vegan with only two words:
Nature cycle.
I mean, its kinda funny at how folks believe that we are an evolution of an animal unable to judge and dream to (suddenly) deny our (natural) purpose towards other animals.
