About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

If you eat basically any form of meat, I have some bad news for you...

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 10 points 12 hours ago

There's whale meat in my steak!?

I do give deer hunting a pass because they're overpopulated in places (because humans wiped out their native predators).

Feel free to try and change my mind so I can wipe that off my ever-shrinking personal "ethically ok to eat meats" list. For all I know this is one of those lies I was raised with that I've not examined since childhood. Edit: context is in Kentucky, USA 20 years ago. I don't know about deer populations elsewhere and elsewhen.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Pretty sure you can hunt nursing deer in most places.

Former vegan, current pescatarian here.

Dont stop hunting, please. Humans did a phenomenal job of ensuring a required hunting season for deer by wiping out all the natural predators, now without them we have to have culls. If you participate in said culls, PLEASE eat the meat, use the pelt, give the antlers to your dog. We've forced ourselves into a position where some of us MUST take up the mantle of predator. If you choose to, just be responsible with the carcass so it didn't die for no good reason.

Edit: accidentally lied, I'm not a vegetarian I'm a pescatarian who outside of her 6 shrimp a week is vegan.

sorry but former vegan? what happened?

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I opened up my diet to the occasional fish (scrimps) because I hadn't managed to force enough flax into my diet to have all the omegas I need.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

are there supplements that could achieve the same?

Probably? Idk I've never managed to remember to take supplements, I've got some gnarly adhd. I've been working on the same bottle of Vitamins for like 6 years, YaKnow?

So like, yeah I'm sure there's a supplement, but I also don't think it's that big a deal to eat 6 oceanic mud bugs a week.

(For reference the reason I ever went vegan at all was in response to driving past an overcrowded slaughterhouse and seeking the conditions the animals were kept in, it was horrific. I avoid farmed animal products like the plague, and I try to be responsible in the amount of hunted animal products I use, like I said, just 6 scrimps a week.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

This applies boars as well

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

To add a wrinkle: there's now "farmed deer". It's supposedly more environmentally friendly than farmed cow, but I don't like it because β€’vague feelings I've not fully examinedβ€’.

So don't assume any venison you find in the grocery store was hunted.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Farmed cervids are why CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease) is a thing. It's a prion disease. Farmed venison has a high probability of being CWD positive.

It's called a high fence operation. Rich fucks actually pay for a canned hunt inside the fence so they get a big antlered wall hanger.

Myself and my family like to eat does. Curbs population faster and tends to be better meat. We live in a county that is overpopulated with white tail.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Vague feelings? I think your feelings are pretty spot-on, farming an animal whose population is already excessive in the wild is bizarre.

Wild deer are more environmentally friendly than farmed deer.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 14 hours ago

The feelings are vague because I can't put them confidently into words, but your explanation resonates.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 19 hours ago

Wow, thanks, I hate it!

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Only time I've eaten meat in the past ~30 years was when I ate some invasive fish that had been caught in a killathon to restore native habitat. Not that it's my role to "give you a pass," but I certainly do in this case!

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently there's spear fisherfolk in Florida that kill invasive lionfish and provide them to local restaurants. I'm all for killing and eating invasive species.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 4 points 18 hours ago

That's exactly what I ate :)

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Or drink milk. Vegetarians don't get a pass.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

I only drink polar bear milk. I find the chalky cod liver oil taste delightful.
