I’m not a PETA supporter and their statement is not true unless your being a pedant for the sake of arguing in vary bad faith. The spirit of the post, and we all know this, is by reducing your meat consumption by a day a week “for the rest of to it life” less animals will be killed.

Mr arguing for arguments sake is only arguing for a point in time, which isn’t “the rest of your life” and isn’t the spirit of the post. Reducing the demand for meat, reduces the production and harvesting of meat. It doesn’t kill the same mount of animals. Why is this such a hard concept for you all to understand?

Im not a vegan, and I’m not interested in changing your eating habits. I just call out bullshit when I see it. If you’re believing that decreased demand doesn’t decrease supply you’re also willfully dumb. You’re both proof that people will believe whatever the fk they want regardless of what they were taught. Just eat meat, without being liars.

Yes a reduction in population, you're not saving any animal.

If everyone stopped eating chicken, they're just going to slaughter the existing chickens as a waste of money, get nothing out of them, and then stop breeding chickens.

No chickens are saved, they either die pointlessly, or never exist.

It's not like someone is sending them to a chicken sanctuary everytime you skip a KFC bucket.

Conversely, I have never eaten a duck. I don't see any goats or sheep on the list graphic, and I have had both goat and lamb in my life.

Also, no bison on the list graphic.

EDIT: Deer should be on the list graphic, as well as fish and shellfish.

EDIT 2: While the graphic visualizing the animals does not have it, the website discusses sheep, goats, bison, as well as saying Americans eat 16 pounds of seafood per year on average, which includes 4 pounds of shrimp. Deer are not mentioned.
