fun fact: praying mantises actually don’t bite their partner’s head of most of the time.

I don’t know much about it but Jains in India actually have rules about causing minimal harm to all living things

In that moral framework ig fruits and veggies would be fine since the plant wants us to eat it

Imagine how vegans must feel about the world lol

Also switched a few days ago and I can’t really tell the difference tbh

Kinda unrelated but I remember as a kid when out school lied to students about there being cameras in the restrooms so kids would stop throwing tp around. good times

There are groups that are doing just that, tho not all vegans are organized ofc.

The difference is that this time industrial giants with infinite revenue are the ones invested, so it’s gonna keep going till the earth is burned to the ground ig

I honestly was being a bit of an ass for no reason, I do apologise. I’m a vegan myself, but only converted a few months ago. I’m just now depressed when I see how negatively people comment on anything vegan online, and spread misinfo frequently. Also I should’ve said “vegan-ism defenders”

as they should

I’ve been seeing vegan defenders get upvoted in recent time on lemmy, did something change? I remember vegans getting quite negative feedback a few months ago only

they are very easy to hate and there’s a lot of misinformation about them online. I used to hate them too before going vegan and I still don’t agree with some of their activism

edge-worth you say

I wish:(

It wasn’t confusing but the logic of its mechanics weren’t consistent. I think some people thought there was logic to follow, hence the confusion.

a thing people have parasocial relationships with suddenly recommending you products might be valuable

I was adding to it, not challenging it’s claims.

The ones that we decided are going to live in a constant hell where they can barely move so we can have our yummy bacon

That’s not a very animal rights friendly idiom /j

Even if you believe the life of a human is thousand times more important than the life of a single animal, the scale at which we exploit animals would still be immensely worse. And also this is literally just whataboutism
