Always funny when people are like "pfft what is veganism going to do? We need to focus on REAL problems like deforestation in the Amazon!!" my guy, it would take you a 2 second google search to learn that the Amazon is being cleared for cattle.

And soya and maize plantations.

Yep, soya that is being grown to feed livestock.

imagine if vegans could read

i don't understand how so many kind and compassionate people can turn a blind eye to the suffering of animals. it tears me apart

have you people ever met a vegan person like in real life or do you get all your info from sensationalized tiktoks

I don’t get why people have done literally zero research about veganism love to argue with people who have spent years being vegan. Who have read books, googled everything, and are really passionate about a serious life long commitment.

I dont get why people that only read books and the internet and google things feel that its enough over people that live the life of a farmer and have for centuries in the family, everyday is spent with the animals, for the animals and will carry on being for the animals. We are serious with a lifelong passion to keep raising these creatures and care for them so to me thats more for the animals then just.. not eating them.

Is it for the animals? Would you care for them if you didn’t get to eat them? If you didn’t get to sell them? If you didn’t get to force them to do what you wanted? Or are you the petit-bourgoise telling us that things are fine how they are because the prospect of societal change gives you an anxiety that the things you have control over will be taken away?

Veganism is literally the only subject for which it is perfectly okay to say ‘the opinion of the industry exploiting the sentient beings in question is much more neutral and better informed than that of independent sources who gain literally nothing but public contempt and legal proceedings from their actions’.

oh my god thank you

Weird how the hundreds of people who crawl out of the woodwork to ‘advocate’ for quinoa farmers and crop pickers at the barest mention of veganism are dead silent as soon as we’re talking about slaughterhouse workers.

Yeah not eating animals is a great concept but you know whats a better concept? Not contributing to an industry that enslaves, abuses, and murders hundreds of poc a year

^^ Tell them!

I get so tired of hearing that veganism is prohibitively expensive when I KNOW I've survived on tighter food budgets than a lot of the people saying that. Especially when that same person then goes on to talk about "eating local grass fed beef". "Too expensive" clearly has vastly different meanings to us. You talk about bougie HEAVILY prohibitive shit like that then wanna tell me my lifestyle is only for rich people. Ok.

“animals should be treated well before they’re eaten but eating them isn’t wrong” really isn’t a hard belief to understand

funny how people on Tumblr are constantly like “you are not immune to propaganda, look into what someone is posting first before blindly agreeing with them, even if their post reads scientific enough, double check” until it comes to anti-vegan propaganda, then it’s “oh yes, I 100% trust this and don’t need to do any research myself because I don’t want to challenge my worldview or find information that I don’t like.”
