AITA for killing my dog and eating it even if it had a good life?

Elwood’s really makes the best cut. I love it.
A lot of people will unfortunately not see the parallels. 1. Because they've been too far separated from where their food comes from 2. Because it's human to go out of one's way to mentally dismiss concerns when they regard something they've been doing for a long time. Oh and 3. For bonus points is just "A cow is just an animal, but a dog is a pet!"
People do see the parallels, thats why its raining downvotes. They simply have to taste some yummy doggo.
Or in other words: My dog farm is flourishing. My neighbours really turned around after our last labrador bbg. Nothing like home grown, lovingly raised dog steak <3.
I assure you that I've known people who had pet goats and would be absolutely disgusted by the idea of eating it, because of emotional attachment. Said farmers also had an eating flock. I respect y'all for following your own moral standards and ideas, but telling other random people they're evil for following a natural part of the human diet is not the way ...
I am also disgusted at the idea of eating my old labrador mother. She is my everything <3.
I also love her children but in the end those ARE in the eating flock. What am i gonna do? It is just to yummy in my tummy. Don't be afraid though, my uncle puts them down (humanely) with his own hands in the comfort of their homes <3.
Its less the diet part and more the propogating the murder and torture of others part. Having a separate flock for murdering doesn't really make it better, sorry.
Not sure where I said anyone is evil. Just that people dismiss parallels that clearly exist at opposite ends of their moral compass because they want to feel morally comfortable in their choices without actually considering them, especially when they're ones they've been making for a long time. In my personal opinion we're past the point where we need to process animals for consumption and (America) has gotten to the point where it is borderline concerning how separated from our food we are, but I'd draw short of villifying anyone simply because we're all creatures of the mud flying on a big mud ball across an seemingly infinite universe and to claim black/white good/bad as objective in that regard would be overstepping my understanding of reality.
I will eat another

Veganism is a leftist social justice movement for animal liberation. It is not a diet for your health and it is not for the human environment. This also, obviously, means No slurs/bigotry, Why would you even want to?
We do not condone or advocate for plant based capitalism.

This is a community for memes for vegans and by vegans. There are lots of other places where you can have your debates.
This is a community to jerk about veganism, not a place to promote your ego, new products, or embarrass yourself worshiping a YouTuber. If it is going to a good veganism related cause then message us and it will be approved at our discretion.
Meta posting is usually very boring and not fit for a meme subreddit. I wish I could extend this to all the other vegan subreddits. If you really need to post meta about something with circlejerk in the name get a grip and delete your account
