CHICKEN LIFESPAN:

Although chickens can live over 20 years, people usually dispute a 15-year lifespan on the basis that backyard hens tend to die before 10. Such breeds have been genetically altered to lay way more frequently than is natural or healthy, and taking their eggs causes them to keep laying (or hens would stop and sit on a clutch). This combination takes a terrible toll on their bodies. Broilers, meanwhile, are modified to grow at a rate that is also unnatural, which means they will suffer early disease (were they not slaughtered in under two months). Such breeds do not represent a normal chicken. If we genetically modified all Americans to go through puberty at 5 so that they died of a heart attack at 20, you wouldn't (or shouldn't) claim that 20 is the normal human lifespan.

COMMON ARGUMENTS AGAINST VEGANISM:

I didn't address these arguments in the (full) film as I was unaware people used them to justify their support for animal suffering (while the aliens are surprised humans would still eat animals).

"Other animals eat other animals!"

"We're meant to eat meat!"

"Eating plants is no better!"

"Animals are killed growing crops!"
Animals are killed harvesting crops though the data is poor (they count populations before and after harvesting so do not account for animals - possibly the majority - that simply leave when the combine harvester approaches). However, not only is killing animals not the purpose of arable farming (and tens of billions more animals are killed in animal agriculture each year) but more crops go to feeding livestock than humans, so meat eaters are still responsible for more of these deaths than vegans (even before the animals are slaughtered for their meat). If you're concerned about creatures being chopped up, veganism would be the best course.

Proving every movie about aliens is really how humans would act as aliens

[titioMahoraga]

The idea of “humans are space orcs” is amazing to me. I was reading a storie that is like humans from two thousand years in the future starting to participate in the inter galactic community and everyone fear us because we are the only predatory specie to achieve galactic travel technology.

"Apart from cows, what do you eat?"

"Never had alien, sweet cheeks."

[someguy]

"Apart from cows, what do you eat?"

Lady, it'll be much faster to go down the list of things we don't eat. Trust me.

[awildman]

"apart from cows, what else do you eat?"
Me "everything"

[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwc]

They say as if that isn't exactly how an ecosystem works.

[daniellauttamus]

I think id just say assume anything on the planet been eaten been people

[jazzcelaya]

Edible is the word we have for things you can eat without dying immediately

[GravitasZero]

“So… you’re a war-enthused species that also enjoys consuming flesh… haha, we’re in danger”

[robertofulton]

I liked the bit at the end where they say they are gonna go check out the Klingons…..I think they might go back to earth and apologise after meeting the Klingons and their eating habits.

"If it moves, Someone on this planet eats it, yes that includes other humans but as a societal whole that is generally frowned upon"

[Gomorragh]

the thing about this, and all other anti meat propaganda is completely ignoring the 2000+ years we have spent sending species extinct to feed us, if it wasnt for farming them you could honestly say that they would most probably be museum exhibits like dodo's

[treymtz]

Its wishful thinking that Aliens would somehow align themselves to what humans think might be considered benevolent.

[taz]

Lions kills deer and antelope and no one bats an but when i eat my neighbour's dog SOCIETY CALLS ME MAD.

[atomsmasher]

I mean, if these aliens have figured out a way to live without killing something else, they need to share immediately because that's not possible here on this planet

[russellsmith]

Our capacity and willingness to eat almost anything is a large part of our success as a species. It's in our nature.

[bell-collector]

Ahh yes the vegan aliens. The vegan teacher would love them

[kelseyhorvath]

Wait until they find out we eat living plants too. Plants have been proven to feel pain.

[savagek]

Wait till they find out chickens eat other animals too
