This only really tracks if you're vegan, which you may be. But if we slaughter a million pigs for meat is that really any different? We already incubate them for bacon, are you really so against this that you'd let a family member die than slaughter a pig for its heart?
Even as a vegan, it’s pretty up in the air imo. It’s well established that if your life saving medication contains animal products, you take the medication. This is more complicated for sure, but an argument can probably be made. I’m not sure what I feel about it.
He's not that against it. He's just posturing online. Very few people, maybe 0.1%, would choose a pig's life over their grandmother's. (No I don't care if your grandma was a dick. Pick another beloved family member or friend.)
