I invented a fictional society for stories in which you are allowed to buy and consume meat, but only if you have a “carnivore’s medallion”. The only way to obtain one is to have witnesses observe you personally slaughter a living being (eg, a chicken) with no assistance.
Ideologically, seems like a good way to put friction on meat obsessions and get people to think about it.
I mean humans have always used tools but sure, you could take a chicken bare handed. Fish might be easier for a first go as I have seen a few people catch fish out of the water bare-handed after a few tries
(Btw, I’m opposed to caged chicken egg cultivation, and even had my own chicken in the past before I couldn’t anymore for eggs. Now I just pay the premium and researched which were the most ethical eggs in the store available. Happy hens make better eggs anyway. I’m just pointing out we’re not the only ones that raise animals for consumption in nature).
Nature according to people who use that argument

Isn’t this just hunting?
No assistance would be no guns, no bows, no knives, no traps, right?
Literally using your bare hands or something you find on the ground.

If they went to live naked in the woods and used their apex predator canines to tear out a deer’s jugular, I’m not judging.

Why would what ants do have relevancy to what we should do?
Those ants are farming aphids. They keep them in close quarters. Ants are nature. Ergo the meme
Everything is nature. But which closed quarters are they kept?
The ones where of the aphid strays too far from the closed in pack it becomes an instant snack (hey that rhymes).
At least we cook our chickens first (/s)
It tracks the logic of the meme then counterpoint, this is the counterpoint to the counterpoint.
lol. Classic carnism.
You vegan? Apparently y’all are fine with meat too according to some:
