I see. He's an extreme carniphobe and human
slavery is no worse than eating meat.
Right.
Anyway, thanks for the pointer to the post. It
was interesting to see how clueless the guy is
(and I don't mean because I disagree with him--I
mean because he didn't realize people would
place their own interpretation on that panel).

Good to finally have from-the-horses's-ass confirmation
that Piraro is (a) a pathetic loon; (b) has no sense of
perspective; or perhaps (c) both.

Well, considering humans slaves were/are *not* slaugtered for food
when "the time came"; at least not that I know of . . .

Shouldn't the caption be "Antebellum Era" instead of "Civil War Era"?
By the time the bullets started flying, I would assume anyone who
cared about slavery would have avoided all slave-produced goods.

You're right, they both did.

That says "extreme carniphobe" to me, unless he's into
eating meat from animals that died from natural causes.

I take that to mean "eating meat is just as bad as slavery,"
since he just got done explaining that all eating of meat
is cruel.
If you think he meant something else, great--feel free to point
out the flaw in my reasoning. I actually have a hard time
imagining he really meant that, because it seems completely
lacking in nuance.

No, really.

In that some seemingly immediately interpreted it as 'making light of
slavery,' which is idiotic, when it's obvious that he's making fun of
marketing techniques and touchy-feeley feel-good rhetoric. And the
one on the blog who said "If we humans are so much more superior. Why
do we need laws in our society and why do we have so many wars around
the world?" Now, that's a breathtakingly dumb thing to think or say.
Shows a complete ignorance of the natural world. And that weird guy
who brought up Brigette Bardot... No, wait, that was me.
