A PETA protester proves to be quite persuasive.

I haven't had time to write anything I can share, but I discovered another trove of half-finished stories. Here's the most complete of them. (I swear, I've got so many "almost done" stories lurking in forgotten corners, I'm beginning to wonder if I write these things in my sleep.)

Makes sense to me.

Downright logical.

Hrm, I generally don't comment on anything I read because if it's a good story, I have nothing to say. "I liked it" just isn't useful. If it's a bad story then I don't want to spend any more time on it, and just leave rather than thinking up a description of why I felt that way. Only on rare occasions when I see a concept I love and potential that isn't met do I end up posting, which is usually just advice.
Here the story almost seems to be begging for a take on the argument in question, between an activist and a shopper. Since you are /literally/ begging for comments I suppose I bring some thoughts regarding meat consumption.
... first thought. Humans eating humans is bad.
Not in any moral or philosophical way, it is objectively a threat to your health and readily results in the rapid spread of transmitable diseases and protein deficiencies. Most animals have an instinct against cannibalism, and in most animals very bad things happen if you're eating your own species. Look at the results from putting beef in cow feed for a perfect example here.
Nothing to stop you from feeding humans to something ELSE of course, whether that's going into dog food or just tossed to a tiger (admittedly teaching a tiger that human meat is tasty would be a poor choice in most circumstances) and even if you try to deny this via burring the body or cremating it and spreading the ashes, the human corpse is still getting eaten. You're just feeding it to plants and worms instead anything mammalian.
Meanwhile the sake of the animals themselves, from my personal experience it really comes down to which animals and the conditions of their life before that point. I used to feel bad about eating chickens just on the principle that they are alive, but then I met chickens and keep a chicken coop. No, those guys are viscous assholes made of stupid who die at the drop of a hat, I no longer feel upset at eating certain breeds of particularly dumb chicken.
Pigs, I could feel bad about eating. Save the fact we know for certain they aren't concerned at all with the morality of eating humans, if the number of wild boar attacks and the damage they do as invasive species is any indication.
...
In the context of a world where vore is possible and/or common place, all I can imagine now is for violent activists to keep this same logic and use it as a rallying call. Instead of standing out there with a sign, stalk up on and devour anyone who lingers around the frozen meats section.

I don't remember when or where I wrote this one, but it was probably on the bus. Not much time to really layer in any actual philosophy.

Interesting story; but in a seemingly magical alternative world where physics and biology don't seem to work and humans can somehow swallow other humans whole and alive and apparently without any consequences; I would have to wonder if there would even be places like supermarkets or organizations like PETA? This would have been more interesting to me if it were set in more of a 'high fantasy' universe with a more medieval kind of market and the buyer and seller were much larger predatory beasts like trolls or dragons (that might anatomically speaking really be able two swallow similar creatures whole and alive; and the 'food' being discussed were much smaller humans kept in cages. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, with something this short, there's not much room to justify the impossibility of same size vore.

I love this one. The simple matter of factness of the pred is excellent.

Much as I despise humans as predators, pushy, demanding, mean vegans are proof that humans need to be back on the food chain.

This one was quite entertaining.

Makes sense to me. Ladies are more filling, too.
