A pig didn't say they would die for you. It was murdered against its will and then you paid the killer to kill more.
- Livin' up to that username, kid.
- And I'd do it again.
- Unlike you, I am familiar with the pig government and we actually have an agreement that we eat their death row inmates. Crime has never been so delicious.
  
  Okay but actually they grow up in cages and never see daylight. Their tails cut off without anaesthetic.
  So yeh.
- No pigs go "oink" silly or when they're scared they go "SSSSSSQQQQQQQEEEEEEEE-SSSSSSQQQQEEEEE-SSSSQQQQEEEEEE"
- Same thing happens if you eat broccoli.
- Yim yum!
- If a pig had the chance he'd eat you and everyone you care about.
  
  And...?
  Are you telling me that you eatpork as some sort of... preemptive revenge? Because even in a hypothetical universe where pigs are top of the food chain, it would still be wrong to imprison and kill them. Which is why doing this to tiger/lion/bear would also be wrong in our universe.
  Weird comeback.
- I’d kill it myself for the goddamn delicious goodness
- almost no one has paid for a pig to be killed
  
  It's called 'buying pork'. They don't kill them for fun and just happen to sell them afterwards.
  
  Assuming what I think you're assuming, now I want to hear this story of pig assassination.
  
  😂
  Cope.

bacon died for you without its consent
- "Hey pig I'm gonna eat ya!"
  The man I have tied to my bed 🥴
- That's why it tastes so good.
- So does broccoli.

But given the choice a pig wouldn't die for you, so no bacon isn't love, it's murder.
- very tasty murder!
- all the research I can find indicates there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that non-human animals understand personal mortality, so given the choice, the pig would even understand.
  
  I would think the cases of non-human animals committing suicide (mostly cetaceans) would be indicative that at least some of them can comprehend personal mortality on some level. It’s a bit different if an animal doesn’t eat due to stress or whatever and starves to death, I wouldn’t call that suicide. But whales occasionally just drown themselves, that’s pretty hard to rationalize any other way
- Delicious murder

A bacon meme? Is it 2008?
- What happened in 2008?
  
  Bacon and narwhal were in fashion at the time.

Yeah, but it wasn't consensual.

- I didn't expect to find any vegan message in this "pure carnist" meme post. This was the #1 comment in the post, that's awesome!

Fun fact every food we eat died for us.
- Lab grown meat is a thing now
  
  A thing which dies for your meal. What they grow in the lab is living tissue, a mass of living cells.
- Except for like, fruits, seeds, eggs, dairy etc.
  
  Only eggs haven't died for us. Fruits and seeds definitely died for us too. Cheese is complicated.

- I'm stealing this.
  
  I'm stealing this.

Fun fact: Gas chambers are often used to kill pigs. You can hear their screaming from outside the facilities as the gas burns them to death from the inside out.
This is common practice.
It is plenty likely the victim in the picture whose mutilated corpse is very disrespectfully converted into sewage by now was gassed to death.
- dude wtf how are they not able to find gas that's painless?
- Stop trying to invoke the holocaust when talking about animals. Pigs aren't people. Jews aren't animals.
  
  Nobody has said anything about the Holocaust or the Jews. This is standard practice of killing pigs.
  If you want to have a conversation about this topic, I would like to highlight that we are animals too (just a different species) and I don't think there is any moral difference between our species and dogs or pigs when regarding killing, even when I know about our differences because at the end of the day we are just individuals we clear interests in avoiding suffering and death, and byproducts of pigs are just unnecessary to consume and cruel to get.

Bacon will always have a place in my heart. And in my arteries.

I've heard that halal bacon is better.
It's beef.

Hey I'm still a good catch. Because I never lied to you. I never told you I would die for you.

Jesus Christ is better than that girl (or guy) that said they would die for you Jesus Christ did actually died for you. Jesus Christ's love is real.
Ftfy

I used to own a button that read: "Bacon is chocolate, for men."
- Did you also tip your fedora whenever you pressed it?
  
  It was a wearable button, with a pin to pin it to a jacket. I'm sure they still make these things.

Jesus Christ it's not Anne Frank, stop burning it.
- I think she died of typhus
- Miss on both accounts, but solid edge.

Bu bu bu but we didn’t have a signed consent form from the pig! MURDER!
- That just means there's a dude at a factory farm who would kill for you.
- None of my random killings have been illegal because of my handy dandy notary public
