Not being vegan isn't some "controversial opinion" that's literally the status quo come on.

Waiting for the day when i see an anti-vegan claim that some animals actually want to be farmed and eaten you guys!!!!

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

Picture this: You like owls. You see lots of misinformation and abusive animal videos online. You decide to make a blog that tells people “hey! These videos aren’t cute!” You want to spread knowledge.

For some reason, vegans are in your inbox.

Vegans have been a plague to me for years because they want me to see farming as ideologically evil but if I can’t farm quail and mice the animals in my care will starve to death and if livestock aren’t farmed my pets will have no food and crucially due to my own dietary restrictions I will also simply die.

So we have been at odds for a very long time. Especially because I know what actual farming practices are, and the misinformation spread online by hipster weirdos who apparently believe anything they see online regardless of how absurd it clearly is honestly just as obnoxious to me as people who think any given wildlife should be kept as a pet.

reading a study on anti-vegan sentiment and

[the-world-annealing]

Feels like 'necrovore' would be a great term for militant vegans to call meat-eaters and yet I don't think it gets used much at all, this too is an example of market failure.

[innocentiusxiv]

I think I'm slowly becoming the vegan defender I hated in middle school. good.

[unidentifiedfuckingthing]

i think ancient religions are basically right that its fine that animals die horribly in the wild but we have to kill them niceys because its our responsibility as a species closer to god. like i DO think that our ability to reason & our higher level of technology gives us a responsibility to be gentle that other animals dont have. like i think this is a perfectly solid stance & endpoint and "therefore its wrong to kill animals for any reason" or "admitting that suffering is cruel inherently means its also unjust that wild animals die" both just do not need to result from that premise in any way

[us-the-voices-and-more-voices-2]

me: oh yeah I've fell down some pretty horrible rabbit holes and basically had to deconstruct basically some weird fringe gore death cult shit I went through somehow as a 6 year old online <3

you guys: BITCH WTF DO YOU MEAN

me: anyway, it was "cannibalism and death as a commodity" is bad and that "life is one of value" and all that <3

you guys: THE ACTUAL NO NO WHAT?

me: yeah. I also engaged in some pretty bad self destructive behaviours bc autocannibalism but yeah, no bad stuff. still have really bad thoughts and feelings and I am 2 seconds away from biting a chunk of my skin off when the urges get bad but nah I'm way better now.

you guys: 0_o

me: long story short I have gotten rid of the worst shit, but the whole drooling about eating people thing never went away ! I see bloody injuries and want to eat it ! like a freak!!!!!

i’m gonna have to do some serious reading about various perspectives on the ethics of animal experimentation this spring… i have at least one starting point bc at the same time a friend will be studying to actually do the experimentation, but if you know any good books or articles i’d love to hear about them

i want to make one thing abundantly clear: i absolutely do not fuck with Animal Rights Activists. every single ARA ive encountered has been viciously ableist to me because i am a disabled person who cannot survive on a vegan diet. they've all tried to guilt trip me for eating meat when i have no other options.

i have had several doctors and nutritionists tell me that vegetarianism is basically off the table for me. i would not be able to get the nutrition i would need and i would die. when i say this, i am not asking for your advice. i am not asking for your opinion. i am stating a fact. i could not survive without consuming animal protein, and i have had DOZENS of animal rights activists tell me that if that's the case, "good riddance."

i have been told if i can't go vegan i am "not trying hard enough." i have been told i'm evil and disgusting for needing animal products to survive. i have been told that i am an animal abuser and murderer, and the only way to make up for it is to starve myself to death. i have been told, "if you really cared about animals, you'd kill yourself."

so yeah, no, if your ideology aligns with Animal Rights freaks in any way, shape, or form, let me know so i can block you. i am not interested in a debate. i do not want to hear your suggestions for my diet. i do not want to hear about your miracle cures. i am not interested in even greeting you on the street.

i do not fuck with ARAs. as far as i am concerned, they're all ableist, racist, hateful assholes. on my blog we are pro-hunting, pro-indigenous lifestyles, and pro-science based land management. this will not change now, nor will it ever.

i think that last post was caused by a glitch but that person's og sources didn't really check out even aside from the 1859 book but a lot of their points were also bullshit.

Seeing shadows of drama on the wall and turning my gaze away as to prevent my curiosity from luring me in for the kill

[draconicslime]

people (cough: aras) who think bc they rescue that no one should have pets r so annoying. my life is sustained for my pets pretty much. when you say “please don’t buy animals, they’re not hobbies and they don’t fill up our lives” i just want to go snuggle with my dog and plan on getting another reptile a year down the line. adopt and shop responsibly, support good breeders, and stop ignoring thousands of years of human history. thanks

"Queer people the least oppressed people" said a white, cishet, Christian man who is probably middle or upper-middle class with a wife and kids who's also American.

The man who is literally the least oppressed person in the entire world said queer people are the least oppressed. Idk if he knows what oppressed even means.
