Even in a world where everyone is vegetarian or even vegan (but remember that this wasn’t always the case), this is still a somewhat funny joke. I, e. g. don’t eat meat, but found it hilarious.
It’s all word views. Obviously a Christain who believes in souls has no reason to respect an animal if it doesn’t have one.
But, I just think we are matter, so I imagine that matter inherently experiences. In that case, humans are no longer the obvious protagonist who has no reason to feel bad about abusing the rest of those out there.
This kind of reaction is what they allude to in the Matrix when they say “if he’s not one of us, he’s one of them”. You are already ready to fight to defend a system of slaughter and oppression.
This is the kind of thing that will get you cancelled in a few years when specism starts getting recognised for what it is

I’m not vegan either tbh, but I do think the way we treat animals is relentlessly cruel and whoever denies it has salami slices over their eyes
A farce?
