i have to absolutely disagree with this sentiment. changing your whole attitude because you finally got to see "behind the scenes" is a perfectly valid reason to do so. to make a godwin-comparison: itīs as if youre calling a nazi shallow, who just stumbled into a KZ and saw how jews are being treated/killed and thus decides to be against nazism. i dont hink so.

also, yes, weīd still need to kill animals even if it wasnt for food. HOWEVER, that is the point: we *need* to kill for certain stuff. food is not part of that. Thatīs like those crazy american gun-lovers who, when approached with statistics about gun murder cases, tell you "then why not ban cars, too? Many more people die in car accidents every day than being shot by guns". Yeah, except we need cars for means of transportations, but we donīt need guns.

regarding hachiken, again, iīd be okay with him eating meat, if he could just come to the decision that Butadon is a special case. Then buy Butadon, keep him as a pet, and maybe find a non-lethal use for him, like making him a truffle pig.
