so insanely hypocritical of non-vegans to be mad at peta's kill shelters while they support the industries that kill billions of sentient beings each year. they don't even care about animals it's all so transparent

So true, I can do anything I want to people as long as I personally like to eat them afterwards :)

btw you’re religion doesn't exempt you from the morally condemnable action that is (directly or indirectly) murdering and consuming living creatures

I’m so tired of this "god put animals on the earth for man to eat" argument you are killing a living fucking being and that's on you

"My beliefs allows me to kill people indiscriminately so it's totally fine guys 😇"

'eating meat is a personal choice and u cannot stop me'

I cant stop you, but eating meat is not a personal choice. No animal chose to be killed. No cow chose to separate them from their child.

saw a post saying how we demonize dairy even tho its cool that we found a way to get animal nutrients without killing the animal. and like yah technically but you guys do know they kill the cow right. they kill the cow anyways. maybe if u have your own farm where you take good care of your cows and let them live fulfilling lives and die natural deaths but in the Real World they fucking slaughter those cows.

My biggest pet peeve about sustainability discourse is that, yeah, a handful of companies are fucking us all over, and yeah, we need fundamental change coming from the government. But also you need to understand that you can't have both things:

You can't have zero single use plastic and only sustainable materials and expect to be able to afford brand new clothes every month.

You can't have an increase in workers rights protections and expect to still get things you order online delivered to your house in a couple of days.

You can't have meat production reduced to the point where it's not environmental destructive and expect to be eating meat more than a couple times a week at most.

We NEED big scale change but that WILL significantly affect your lifestyle. You need to stop living in a fantasy world where fast fashion prices or eating animal products daily can ever coexist with sustainability.

Within the Qʷidiččaʔa·tx̌ nation, both sides in the whaling argument endorsed the significance of human-whale relations and of cultural continuity and renewal but differed strongly on how to express these values. The Elders’ letter, for example, proposed whale watching as “an alternative we support” (Anderson et al., 2012, para 11). Elder Alberta “Binki” Thompson, a signatory to the letter, became a spokesperson for those opposing the hunt, appealing to the value of reciprocity. “It’s time to repay the whales for what they gave to us in the past.” Thompson was quoted. “Now is the time to protect them, not to kill them” (Chew, 2012, para 20).

I find it very sad that so many kids, when they start expressing compassion for animals and reason that eating their meat/products from their bodies is wrong, are taught by caregivers that kindness is wrong when it inconveniences others and caring so much for other living beings is childish and naive, because trying your best to do less harm will make others feel bad about their actions, and I can't help but feel that's where it starts for a lot of people who then grow up to believe that their pleasure, convenience, comfort and conformity is worth it even if others have to suffer for it.

Just found out a store's own label dark chocolate I have been buying since forever is actually not vegan because one of the sweeteners it uses is derived from lactose wtf. I've been vegan for almost 9 years and it had never occurred to me that artificial sweeteners could be non-vegan...

Oh, you eat animal products? Isn't it hard? Where do you get your fiber? Do you take supplements? Yikes, I could never do that. I had to buy organic free range meat and eggs for someone who's on an animal product diet once and it was sooo expensive, it's definitely only something for rich people haha. My uncle was on a strict animal product diet, you know? Yeah, he died. Colon cancer. It's a risky thing, this trend, you have to know what you're doing and really make sure you get proper nutrition, but most people go on it thinking it'll make them healthy but then they just eat junk food and wonder why they feel bad and are constipated all the time. Not everyone has the time and energy to learn how to safely prepare meat, and it's so bland too! Do you ever crave a tasty, well-seasoned seitan steak? I actually tried cow's milk once, it was so weird, I'd rather have the real stuff, straight from the plant like nature intended. My mom was on a carnivore diet for 3 months and she felt so bad, her doctor actually told her to stop. It's definitely not for everyone, but I guess you have your reasons. Did you know it's like really bad for the environment? Yeah, uses lots of water, poisons lakes with poo, and they torture the animals to death and workers get PTSD from it. People think "animal based" means natural but actually most of it comes from factory farms. Just thought you should know, you probably didn't think of that when you decided to start this diet. I could never deny myself plants like that, must take a lot of restraint. Most people don't last long. Are you sure you don't want the chickpea curry? Not even a little bit? Haha, just teasing, you meat eaters are so sensitive.

people on tumbler dot corn will be like "you really think veganism will change anything? that's such bourgeois thinking, which pales in effectiveness to my revolutionary strategy: doing nothing"

[vegspoblr]

real tired of hearing the vegan vs. omnivore arguments when the real superior diet in terms of both cruelty and ecosystem is locally sourced

beef and pork from a farm 10 minutes away from you is more ethical and less detrimental to the environment than quinoa grown in ecuador. the future is food forests. the green revolution is food forests. if we manage to survive this apocalyptic hellscape all of your food, plant and animal, is going to come from within half an hour of where you live. plant a vegetable garden in the meantime

Friends took time out their holiday to visit a goat farm where they got to "feed the animals" and "try the cheese" and "told how the farm works" 😒

I don't want to start talking about animal rights like this in the group chat but Jesus Christ.

I do find it weird and funny that tumblr has this like ingrained anti vegan sentiment. You are the social justice website! Consider the research!
