I respect vegans' love of animals, really I think animals deserve more compassion than they get. I am personally not vegan. I do not think it is wrong to eat the body of something that was once alive. Tbh thats including humans given the individual had consented, (ideally similar to how organ donations work). I think it is wrong to torture animals such as what factory farms do, I'm a strong believer in small-scale hunting and ethical farming, we as a species have been eating meat in some capacity for thousands of years, the best we can currently do is be kind about it. It's something we have to reconcile with as a species. Truly I don't think a vegan revolution will be viable until we have affordable lab-grown meat.

I disagree with everything you said, heres why. -"I respect animals" then immediately proceeds to call them "things". You respect humans because you considered their consent and previous lives in the matter and how your action may have affected them, you did not with animals. Animals do not consent to being raped farmed and slaughtered. Meat doesnt come from the sky. Vegans dont revere dead bodies either. This is not some religious crap. We care about the harm being caused to the living as a result of paying an evil industry and supporting an evil practice. We want to stop the breeding of animals for the sake of exploiting them. Vegans do not necessarily love nonhuman animals at all. Plenty dislike being around or are indifferent to nonhuman animals. Veganism is not rescue, its not about having a sex-buyer-like savior boner for them like carnists do. It's just sparing them and leaving them the fuck alone and not tormenting them. -The only way small farms are consistently "more ethical" is just that not as many animals are being abused. Any revolting disgusting practice you have seen a large scale farm practice, I have seen a small scale farmer do the same or worse. I have seen farmers prostituting their barn animals, I've seen countless horrific hoarding cases that arent technically illegal and so no one can do anything about it, I've seen every horrific practice from teeth cutting and tail docking to too small enclosures, shutting animals out to intentionally cause them to die by exposure, killing with a hammer etc etc etc. -There is no such thing as ethical exploitation. The animals in hunting zones are raised in game farms. Even if they werent, hunting is not ethical. I've seen deer with their jaws blown off slowly starving to death and every kind of terrible injury you can imagine, many inflicted on purpose. Not to mention how hunting is a practice that attracts sadists and abusers and preens their violent tendencies, increasing rates of domestic violence. -Appeal to tradition fallacy. And no it's not the best we can do lmfao veganism and not killing them is very obviously better than "being nice about how we kill them". You dont have to reconcile shit. Stop doing it. Literally just stop. Spare them. You have other food available that is nutritionally complete and cheaper that takes less resources to grow and distribute. A vegan revolution is and always has been viable since the dawn of man. People were opposing animal agriculture since it's inception. Pythagorus and his students didnt need lab grown meat in 470 BCE. Benjamin Lay didnt accept slavery of humans or animals in any capacity and refused to use horses and lived just fine. Coretta Scott King and Dexter Scott King both spoke of veganism being the next logical step to antislavery and were vegan animal rights activists. Alex Hershaft. I could go on and on and on. Please discuss this more with me if you are interested, or spend time immersing yourself in content made by animal rights activists and learn what we are actually trying to inform people of.

Check out the history of veganism

Veganism as a concept originated in the mid-20th century. Here are some notable milestones in the history of veganism: The Vegan Society: In 1944, the Vegan Society was founded in the United Kingdom by Donald Watson and his associates. They coined the term “vegan” to describe a vegetarian diet that excludes all animal products. Ethical Motivations: While vegetarianism had been practiced for…

#oh we have a holiday?#vegan#how should i celebrate?#do..do i make a cake or other sweet treat?

Yes, we have a holiday!

World Vegan Day was first celebrated in 1994, so this was the 31st one. It was established by the Vegan Society on the 50th anniversary of the organisation, which was started in November 1944 with the publication of a newsletter called "The Vegan News". The exact day the Vegan Society was founded is unknown, so they picked 1 November because it would then coincide with Halloween, Samhain, and the Day of the Dead.

1 October is World Vegetarian Month and October is Vegetarian Awareness Month, so it's also a fitting follow-up to that. November is now also recognised as World Vegan Month. I live in Belgium and there are many vegan events all over the country this month. I imagine this might be the case in other countries as well.

You can celebrate however you want, or not at all, haha. I do always like to mark the occasion and connect with other vegans. When I lived in England, my housemate always insisted to hold a Halloween party, and because that usually went on throughout midnight, we made it (translation: I insisted it be) a combined Halloween/World Vegan Day party. People would bring vegan snacks and sometimes come in fitting costumes! 😁

Whether you celebrated or not, I hope you had a good one!

HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY EVERYONE!

We dream. We fight. We persevere. 💚 🙏

epic rap battles of history: that vegan teacher vs dr two brains

[marklikely]

im going to be so brave in saying this but i think if you step outside of tv show characters or rage bait social media and interact with people in real life... people with no dietary restrictions are a million times more annoying than the average vegan could ever hope to be

Do you know about MOVE ? These Animal Rights/ Human Rights activists were murdered by the Philadelphia police in 1985. The police dropped bombs on them while they were in their home, killing 11 activists including 5 children. The ones who survived the bombing and fires were met with police bullets as they ran outside. Only a few survived. Fuck the police.
