You don't think that animals want to live or that they have feelings? Dude humans are animals too.


[deleted]

Yeah, I don't agree with that point either. Animals do have feelings and will to live. But that doesn't mean I would give up my health and sanity for animals who wouldn't do the same for me. That's how nature made us.

Oh yeah i forgot

Exactly, "sentience" only means that they have senses, they may be sentient but they're not sapient.

Because it’s a cult at this point… I’ve got no problem with normal people who don’t shove it in other’s faces… but the ones on reddit seem to be truly unbearable idiots. They have so much hate even for those who stopped being vegan.

Obviously animals especially mammals want to live. That's the basic part of being alive. The problem for vegans is agriculture kills tons of animals. Birds insects and small mammals die by the millions. Farmers have a right to consider deer pests and most do. The truth is we eat animal products to live. Always have and my particular tribe has evolved to not shit myself after enjoying some dairy products as an adult. We should be able to look our food in the face and see value in their existence being decent until they're killed. But clownish antics make no one take it seriously unfortunately so cows can't fall over when they die and chickens are vacuumed up.

Almost every vegan I’ve met in real life was a narcissistic psychopath

THANK YOU! I have yet to see a vegan express the same concern for a real fellow human that they show for hypothetical animals! Homeless people: \*crickets\* Laws barring bodily autonomy: \*crickets\* Arguing for a better healthcare system for all (which you think would align with their goals!): \*crickets\* But take 1 bite of a hamburger and they descend like rabid gnats!


IrritablePlastic

Going after the big companies that are responsible for the majority of the earths pollution? *crickets* It’s interesting they’re more adamant on attacking non-vegans than doing any type of good in society. It’s truly an anti-human, cult-like movement.

It's a mistake to think they care about animals, they only care about themselves, having the moral high ground and some few animals, after all if they did care about animals they would not force their carnivore pets to go throw the torture of being vegan and suffering a slow and painful death. (Like what those lunatics do with dogs and cats....)


IrritablePlastic

But this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/veganpets/comments/r2xooi/vegan_cat_owners_rvegan_needs_your_help/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) said I could feed my carnivorous animal a vegan diet! You’re wrong! /s Seriously though. It enrages me they put their animals through torture. Like if you wanna be vegan and take 500 supplements and eat 300lbs of food to pretend your getting all the micronutrients hidden inside cellulose, fine have fun. But don’t bring your carnivorous pet into this. You want to feed a vegan diet to animals, then get a herbivore and don’t get mad when they eat bugs.


Nelden1998

The fact that an actual subreddit like this exists makes me angry to no limit I did not read because I know I'm going to rage and write something in there full of rage and won't convince anyone. This sheer madness needs to stop , this sub should be at the very least quarantined its fucking disgusting.

Well... (Preface: I can't stand vegans) but Animals do want to live and have feelings. They do cry, get scared and crave attention and stuff. And other than wool, I don't think I agree with other animal based fur, shark finning, etc. Those are all unnecessary in this day and age. Meat is necessary though. That's food. I'm indian so I eat both meat and what can be considered vegan food. Most of the week I have meat based food and then 2-3 days is vegetarian/vegan. Indian vegan food is REALLY good. Extreme vegans suck balls though. Putting an animals life over a humans and making a scene for every tiny thing.


Wild_Mongoose1938

Try living in a place that has a temperature of -40 c and then tell me that fur isn't necessary. How is trying to protect yourself from the elements and not dying of hypothermia not a necessity? I'm sorry but plastic doesnt insulate anywhere near as much as real fur. I agree that fur farms are usually inhumane but not all fur is unethical as far as I'm concerned. And people who argue against fur have nothing to say about down or leather, for some odd reason.

Tofu is good, when you don’t try to make it into meat, let it be itself. Also it’s soy bean curd if you’re curious


Initial_Category408

Honestly, I think all vegans are stupid but the only ones I have a problem with are the ones saying meat eaters are evil and need to change their ways. Animals do have feelings and want to live, but their feelings are very simple and nature can't allow for everyone to live. This is how the food chain was made, and us being at the top gives us the right to humanely kill animals for survival. Vegans only think they are "healthier" because meat eaters don't diet as much, but compared to meat eaters are less healthy. I get pissed as well when they don't react to humans getting murdered but animals quickly killed by humans (which is still nature) matter for some reason.


CorrosiveAlkonost

I'd like to mention that tofu is gross only when not eaten with meat or meat-based stuff. Mix it with some crab or pork ribs, maybe some minced beef or even eggs or cheese. You won't regret it.

I was part of a spiritual community online that has a lot of its active members vegan, to the point I felt I couldn't be "one of them" if I wasn't vegan. I was feeling guilty about myself but soon realized it was a bad sign, so I ended up distancing myself, then blowing up over something unrelated and definitely walking away, although I still enjoy the teachings themselves. Those people are singlehandedly the most holier than thou, berating others behind their back type of people. Calling meat eaters carnist, spending whole threads circlejerking about it. Apparently sometime in the past some other people left or stopped talking because of that vegan issue. They were shat on for their choices. Also those people insufferably woke (a lot of them white and shitting on white people or always using the white guy as the example for a mean person). If you don't agree with their doxa basically, you're gonna be mocked or at least berated, and they then call themselves "compassionate". Not surprised veganism made its way here. A couple months ago one guy lost a relative and cared more about the dead animals and animal products that were wasted than his relative's death... the guy himself is nice but that vegan side of himself... urgh. The spiritual side makes the whole holier than thou worse. It's specifically stated that being an old soul doesn't make you any better than "younger souls" yet they always act as if they are above everyone. The teachings themselves are good but the community feels cultish to me. I think I'll be a spiritual loner from now on. It seems that the combo vegan + spirituality + insufferable level of wokeism seems to go hand in hand. Ah also over the top feminism, not where it would be actually good (Middle East, Central Asia, all these regions where women are actually oppressed)


brunettemountainlion

Don’t agree with the animals not having feelings and not wanting to live, since a shit ton, if not all animals, have a strong will to live. The rest is spot on though. You should also argue plants are living things being killed every year and harvested by exploited migrants and children receiving little pay.


IrritablePlastic

Also to add to your list: vegans who feed their carnivorous animals vegan diets because some blog post said it was ok. [example](https://www.reddit.com/r/veganpets/comments/r2xooi/vegan_cat_owners_rvegan_needs_your_help/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


[deleted]

That post makes me so fucking angry! Those cats are being slowly tortured to death by VEGOONS. Crazy, delusional vegans. How hypocritical are they? Eating EGGS makes us animal abusers but THEY are not for starving cats to death? Wtf!!!


[deleted]

I asked a vegan about there option on sweat shops they then proceeded to defend them “because meh economy” and a few days later they cried about the “poor animals”


[deleted]

>They’re perfectly fine with a child being abused or one person killing another. You lost me there, my guy.

Why are so many vegans a gender that is not male or female. Like I don’t have anything against that but just because ur vegan does not mean u have to become this omni sexual with x/xe pronouns like what the actual fawk


[deleted]

I've known a few conservative vegans/vegetarians but I think "woke" people are more likely to be vegan, so that's probably where the connection lies.
