Are you seriously

  1. Considering slavery to be an integral part of the culture of those people and
  2. Still comparing slavery to eating meat.

You know, the nazis were really good about preventing animal cruelty

You know what else the Nazis did? Hunt. Extensively. Have a picture of Göring. Is that

  1. more evil, or
  2. less evil

than the holocaust and the slavery that came along with it?


...also the Americans didn't stop they just switched slave labour over to prison labour.

Given that the US had a huge civil war over the issue and is still dealing with the legacy of it today, yeah, I’d say it’s quite an integral part of the culture.

and yes, I’m still comparing slavery of humans to the slavery of animals. Might interest you to know there are a few holocaust survivors who compare animal agriculture to the holocaust, too.

My point wasn’t that we should model our behaviour after the nazis. My point was that we shouldn’t excuse some evil acts because the perpetrator has done some good.
