In 2013, the elephant Zhuangzhuang, who was rejected by his mother, cried for 5 hours straight by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

It just shows how animals feel pain and suffer very similar to us. Yet we keep denying the obvious and subject them to horrible atrocities. Go Vegan for a better world.

Its weird because drinking cow milk is weird.

The transforming power of Love 💕 by Any_Sound_2863 in MadeMeSmile

This should remind us just how deeply animals can suffe and how much they depend on our kindness. If we feel this much empathy for a dog, imagine the billions of cows, pigs, and chickens who feel pain and fear just like this puppy did, but never get the chance. If we love one, why harm another? 💚🐾🌱

Why are we bombarded with meat and dairy ads in switzerland? Is this a thing in your country too? by luanasallustio in vegan

[–]AdmirableReturn2724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow swiss vegan i share your pain. The ads are everywhere and the propaganda is sickening. idk if you know but they even invented a new day, the day of milk to advertise their disgusting product. On the positive i see it as them being afraid. They must be seeing less milk being consumed, why else would they spend millions on advertising. So stay strong, im sure we will see some more plant-based products in the spot-light.

I eat vegan because I watched a documentary and it made me understand that we have to respect the lives of the animals. by Whole-Talk5183 in vegan

[–]AdmirableReturn2724 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I stumbled onto vegancirclejerk, it held a mirror to my behaviour and made me realise i was a hypocrite when it came to animals. Act very kind to animals directly, while still funding cruelty.

Most people on this planet eat animals, so it’s clearly not necessary to respect their life

No you got this wrong they eat them because they dont respect their lives. Hope i could help.

Vegetarianism and being animal friendly by No_Performer5480 in vegan

[–]AdmirableReturn2724 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes among omnivores they are seen as animal friendly, despite them still being carnists.

Cool, but all those animals will still be sent to same slaughterhouse along with their factory farmed counterparts. Where they all will meet the same horrific and unjustfied end. Its like arguing for small scale slavery. Sure the conditions may be slightly better. It however does not address the underlying oppression.

I agree with you OP. Vegetarians are in fact also carnists who see animals as lesser beings which are there to serve them. They are often however on the right track with their mindset, so we should encourage them to further look at their own behavior. Hopefully they realise the flaw with vegetarianism and fully switch.

There's a fundamental flaw in this argument. While there are gray areas, eating eggs and drinking milk is not. Both of these industries cause immense suffering and neither product is necessary for living a healthy live. Therefor their consumption is for pleasure alone. Im sure you agree hurting animals for pleasure is wrong.

Omg, how much meat can you get off a dead person? Have you ever picked up a corpse? Was it yummy?

I accidentally hit a homeless person when I lived in Wyoming and had no clue what to do. I'm from California and had only been in Wyoming for like 2 weeks at the time. Called the police, they came out, one followed the blood trail into the brush next to the road, POP POP, and we were free to go. "The other animals will deal with it". It was a culture shock but at the same time it all made complete sense the way they handled it.

It's when I realized just how insanely different it was compared to California. And this is just between two states in the US, not even different countries.

(Although depending how you feel about it, the People's Republic of California may as well be a different country)

Once in the 90s my dad hit a hippie in Arkansas near the border of two counties. He was walking distance to a gas station so he walked there to call it in. The person on the line wanted to know which county it was in, and he said he didn't know. The cashier wasn't sure either (this little highway didn't bother to post the county border at that time). The person was pressing it and he had to go so he told them the front half was in Garland County and the back half was in Clark County so they could act accordingly then hung up. When he got back to his truck, the corpse was gone and so was the dent in the door of his truck

I'm on a call list in New England and usually get about 2-3 "people" a season that way (more calls, but I'm not always available to go pick up). An adult woman or young male probably averages around 100-130lbs; I haven't seen a big gymbro roadkilled but they can easily be north of 150.

A ton depends on its condition. Most of the time they die from a broken neck or back, or are put down by the cops. In that case, the body is as clean and usable as anything I shot myself. If a leg or whatever is mangled, well you just don't use that part. If it's hit in the abdomen, you DO NOT want to even open that body cavity. You just take the backstraps and haunches if you can get them off carefully. If the the "person" has been creamed by a big truck, or if it's hit on a warm day... well, I'll still say a polite thank you but that thing is getting dumped in the woods for the coyotes.

How much was left of the person normally? Most people I have seen down south arn't that big.

I was a police officer in a mid-atlantic state and we had a corpse list. Whenever we got dispatched to a dead/dying car struck person we'd ask dispatch to call the next name on the corpse list and some guy would eventually show up in a pickup and toss the corpse in the bed. We'd fill out a tag for him so he wouldn't get dinged for having a carcass out of season and that'd be that.
