It's difficult to judge the farmers and that for the small creature kills. Companies do not pay for slow workers. I've been reprimanded in a job, and definitely looked down until I left the place, for choosing to take 2 minutes to save a butter fly trapped in some old cobby window. All the way up until I set the thing free into the sky, the guy was moaning about something.
That kind of compassion isn't efficient, doesn't make the corporations the money.
So in turn, I don't think it's fair to judge vegans for their products also having this issue at a production level. You try farming honestly and see how long it takes to stop and save every single one of the insects. All the snails and worms. The more you save, the more are there to eat whatever you're planting, too.
Farming is in itself kind of violent, you're stabbing chopping cutting at the earth, and whatever is in the way just gets dunked on. You bring heavy machinery into this and its like.... not even a corporate concern.
If you were to go and get a full time job somewhere and you're stopping all the way and doing things in completely different ways to save all the animals they will just fire you.
I'm not justifying it happening, I wish we didn't stretch ourselves so thin, and slowed things down, and took care, I'm saying there's no point arguing about these kinds of things, because we can't fix them. Humans are big, clunky, hasty greedy fuck machines and even vegans have cars, bikes, and accidentally kill bugs, or kill bugs at work etc.
Remember that the way we get this meat thing is still requiring a club to the head, and it's got so bad now that we're doing like, mad scientist shit in order to make them reproduce x a billion every month, and clubbing ALL of them over the head still. And most of the reason why people love the stuff so much is the ads and the tasty secret recipes that have been forced on people since we were all children. The corporations are branching out and building A.I and robots and shit and still clubbing the animals over the head to get the meat thing.
That's the core of the situation veganism thing here. All the women of the species are forced to make breast milk that's so fucked up. If we keep up being OK with these horrible things we do and only focus on advancing the things that make us money and give us power, then I don't wanna see what we turn into down the line. A species that's totally fine with the absolute molestation of a living being in order to satisfy themselves will never rid themselves of crime or war. I really think that casting out the original evil deed we ever did as sentient beings on this planet, will have some kind of cascading effect that we, this generation set of people, might not even get to benefit from. Personally it's a load off my mind, but a lot of people still don't see the evil in what's going on.
