Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
Specal@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoBeing proud of yourself for not eating meat doesn’t stop the mass amounts of suffering in the farms though.
I became vegan once someone showed me what it meant to eat meat, had they not done that I’d still be eating animals grown in pens.

I eat animals I grow, except in a few exceptional circumstances - minimal enough that, if everybody ate meat the way I do, the industry would fall.
It’s good you’re living up to what you believe in. It’s a bad idea to live off of suffering you can’t yourself bear.

Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.
I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.

I do what I can to give my animals a good life. Mostly, that means keeping them protected and giving them a lot of space.
I definitely hate factory farming. It’s a cancer, and allows people to eat meat without processing death. …and so, in soft ways that have hard consequences, they look away from death, and look away from any conflict -or only enough to decry it, and complain that someone should do something about it. But that mentality pervades everything they do.
Thanks for contributing to the ultimate destruction of factory farming. You have my respect.
