- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Those are reasons, but they're not good reasons. People are just too comfortable going with what they've known their whole lives, and changing takes effort, which they're too lazy and scared to do. So they just keep going along, possibly thinking less than the cattle they're consuming.
Though I'd also argue you can consume animals in a "morally good way" if you shoot them in the forest or raise them with all the love, so they have only that "one bad day". That of course requires denying the idea that humans can be morally above nature and be responsible of not making choices that cause harm to other creatures because of the ability to have awareness of the choice. But that thinking is internally consistent; is it right is the question
