  • I oppose racism, sexism, trans- and homophobia. And I oppose speciesism as well. It's the same system: One group considers another group as less valuable and exploits, abuses or fights them.You just draw the line at you own species.Animals are innocent, vulnerable and easy to abuse because they don't have a voice and don't understand the situation we put them in. If they were human children or mentally disabled humans, we would protect them from harm because of who they are. Instead, we do the most horrible things to them, we take their freedom, their babies, their lifes. In factories, on an industrial scale. Because a pig is just a pig, right?

    EDIT: Please reply, don't just silently downvote. What's your refutation?

  • How is this whataboutism? We're talking about animal rights. A sick cat and a billion suffering mammals are the same topic, no?

  • Wow you are angry. But I'm not easily offended and up for a debate, if you'd like.

  • You are a carnist. That's a political standpoint and philosophical and moral practice as well. You might not consider youself a carnist, you think you're just normal because eating like a handfull of animals and drinking one animals mothers milk was normalised to you from birth. I was raised a carnist too. Yet it's a decision, not a necessity. We don't need meat and milk to survive, we choose to kill animals because we are accustumed to the taste. So we keep the system running.

  • As you might have experienced, it's pretty hard to be vegan in a carnist world. People talk about animal abuse all the time, they confront you all the time, make fun of you. Most don't want to talk about it, they want to shut you up. The hate and ignorance is strong and different people react diffrently to that situation. Some stay quiet, like yourself, some get vocal. Some debate, some get angry. Calling vegans insufferable is like calling gays insufferable, or feminists. Some might be. We have recognized a major injustice and we want to change it.

    "Bro, did you eat a date? That killed a bee or something. Not cool."

    That's rage bait and you made it up. Why would anyone say that?

  • I think it's great that you don't eat meat, that's a step many people refuse to take. If you have recognized the horror of the animal industry, then try to avoid udder milk as well. The dairy industry is the meat industry, they go hand in hand. Dairy cows are sold as food for humans and animals after they are no longer profitable, after just a few years. Don't force a life of misery on dairy cows.

  • If a sick cat upsets you so much, then watch out when you learn about the incredible suffering, misery and billions of deaths caused by the global animal industry. I'm vegan because I watched the videos most "animal lovers" refuse to look at. Unspeakable horror, 24/7.

  • This checks the Vegan Bullshit Bingo:Calling veganism a religion sounds like an attempt at discrediting it as unreasonable and irrational, just to not seriously deal with it. As veganism is based on facts, logic and common sense, it is the exact opposite of a religion. Consuming animal products though, mostly means blindly following irrational traditions and ignoring the facts or refusing them by reasoning: "That's how we've always done it". That sounds more like a religion to me...

  • It's not just your choices alone, you're ignoring something here: If the animal whose death you pay for every day could speak, it would object. If it could defend itself, it would fight against its death. It wants to go on living just like you. But you kill it anyway, against its will, because you can, because the animal is innocent and because you simply like it's taste.In addition to this violence, animal agriculture is also causing great damage to our planet, so your personal choice affects the lifes of other people, living and yet to be born as well. I can hardly think of any parallels to the pro-lifers.

  • 10+ years vegan here. You should not feed plants to a carnivore. Maybe in the future, but not today. I attended a PETA workshop about a healthy plant-based diet a couple years ago and everybody agreed on that. I met a lot of different vegans and not once have I heard this opinion.

    Keep your goddamn morals out of other's lives. Especially an animal that has no say in the matter.

    You are on to something here.

  • I don't agree. The comment points out the single most effektive move an individal without political nor financial power can make to cut personal co2-emissions with just a change of habit. It's not about veganism, animal rights or your health, it's just about sanity. Us still eating meat even though we know better is an incredibly dumb waste of energy for the sake of pleasure, exactly like this shitty powereating globe.As long as >95% of the global population still consumes meat I understand the urge to bring this topic everywhere.
