I just had a little talk with my mum while she was in a good mood and wouldnt jump down my throat. our conversation went as follows:
me: have you ever thought about being a vegetarian?
mum: well i was one once and i tried to get you to turn and you were like "no yuk"
me: thats not fair mum im talking about now, why arent you still?
mum: because i gess i like the taste.
me: but i dot understand, you say you care about animals so much, why would you want to contribute to their suffering?
mum: i dont know...
me: it just make me mad when i try to tell you about an incident involving an animal getting hurt and you imediently say "no i cant hear about animsl getting hurt its too cruel" when you are a contributing factor to their pain. how can you eat meat knowing the suffering they endure?
mum: well i gess it makes me feel better to know they are free range chickens and people love and talk to them and its good healthy meat.
me: no no. (shakes head and sighs)
mum: well call me a sinner
me: dont be liek that...i just hope that one day you will change your mind
mum: well maybe i will one day.
what i was wondering is how can i retort with her when she talks about free range chickens...i realised i didnt really know much about it. I didnt have an argument ready, iw as wondering what opinions were of this convo and how i could retort next time. any input would be great cheers
