At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

There's a few nice ones, however, they think they've the moral high ground, despite the fact that their lifestyle is only possible because of our modern society, and they would have died out a loooooong time ago otherwise.

The modern society they usually hate.
And aforementioned vegans are driving me from the Reds. Too many vegans and hardcore SJWs.

Another thing that bothers me: humans are an essential part of the food chain and ecosystem, and have been from the beginning. Suddenly changing the food chain will have drastic effects. As long as the animal is killed for good reason - like, I don't know, food - I see no problem with it. Because we have other substitutes for fur clothes nowadays in most societies, fur clothes I don't like. Also, hunting solely for the purpose of the animal's head.

A better question would be plants and trees have some sentience.

And if they do, what right does a vegan claim to eat them?

When it ain't ugh, it ain't NationStates General. Maybe I should start a thread called "Sarcasm Should Be Banned" in order to see who decides to jump on that instant trainwreck in progress.
