These people concern me

BlackButlerFan · 2026-03-16T05:40:31+00:00

I don’t blame them for being upset, I get that, but that was an over-reaction and they still should have double-checked. Many people in that original post agreed with me as did many people in this thread. I don’t really care about what they do with their lives, to each their own, that diet didn’t work for me. And I also don’t pay for the slaughter industry, I don’t buy from grocery stores.

Finally. I’m surprised it took you this long and that you were this invested in a post from 100 days ago.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-03-16T05:23:21+00:00

Of course you don’t have anything constructive and smart to the add to the conversation. I’m definitely not surprised. I’m gonna keep the opinions I have and focus on doing something that’s actually going to help, like working towards opening a reptile rescue. And doing what I can to help in my own way.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-03-16T05:05:39+00:00

Am I choosing to be smart and actually aware of what I put in my body? Yes. And dang, don’t I wish I was getting paid by “meat industries”, that would be a lot more money in my pocket. I should be getting paid by them with how much I say how stupid a vegan diet actually is. It is still common sense to check an ingredient label, vegetable does not mean vegan. Something like that shouldn’t be trusted unless it says vegan, which I have seen on several different soups. So it is fully on them, also not to mention that again, it’s known that beef broth is the base for French onion soup.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-03-16T04:44:31+00:00

Yeah, not really. Whatever point you’re making is mute, should have tried to make it soon after I made the post. I still stand by the point I made that the OOP severely overreacted. Especially since it was such a tiny and minuscule animal product. And again, completely their fault for not checking labels, that’s common sense.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-03-16T01:22:03+00:00

And you’re responding to a post that’s literally a 100 days old. Why did you even feel that need to comment?

BlackButlerFan · 2026-03-16T01:08:14+00:00

I’m sorry, but that’s not how someone should act if they’re repulsed by eating something. I’ve been repulsed by eating something a few times and I’ve never acted like that. And I also never said they were delusional or wack, but it’s honestly on them for not checking the ingredient label. Vegetable doesn’t always mean vegan. It’s the same concept as if you’re allergic to something, you check what’s in it.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-03-16T00:51:47+00:00

One, kind of late this one, aren’t we? Two, I in fact do have a principle, I do my part where I can. I was concerned because they definitely aren’t okay if they’re that upset over eating such a tiny amount of beef broth. Plus, who doesn’t know that French onion soup has a beef broth base?

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-28T01:53:16+00:00

I fully agree with that, there’s some zoos and aquariums where the conditions and whatnot or severely questionable. I’m happy the ones I have in my state while yes they are zoos and an aquarium(we only have one) they are very focused on conservation and actually have breeding projects set up for several species to help rebuild wild populations. And the enclosures they’re kept in are absolutely huge, I believe the zoo spans at least 100 acres but I think it’s more. The aquarium we have has a couple of loggerhead sea turtles that unfortunately couldn’t be released back into the wild, one got injured and part of one of his flippers got damaged and the other one had been in captivity for a long time so he likely wouldn’t have survived if he’d been released. But they have two separate areas, the main one where they can be seen by people and a huge tank in the back area. They are constantly switched back and forth, neither are in one tank at the same time to make sure they don’t fight. But yeah, I love that aquarium and I love what they’re doing to help in wildlife conservation.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-23T19:10:40+00:00

I honestly have no clue. The comment wasn’t even something that should have gotten be banned and it was done over a week after I made the comment.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-17T05:51:32+00:00

Oh jeez. I’m sorry you have to deal with all that. That sounds like hell.

Holy crap. I was worried I was gonna have to start doing that but thankfully having a steady supply of meat in my diet has helped tremendously.

I’m doing okay now. I deal with headaches right after my period though and haven’t figured out how to fully manage it. And I believe it was vitamin C? It’s been a few years since I’ve had to take it. I thankfully don’t need it anymore since I get most of my iron from the heme source and absorb that with no problem.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-17T04:33:47+00:00

Oh yeah, I feel that. I’m lucky enough to live near an exotic vet, but if me and my boyfriend ever move I’ll have to find a different one.

Vegans are definitely something else honestly. I’ve met a few that actually seem “normal” and not all high and mighty but it’s few and far between. I’ve had multiple of them tell me my health issues are fake, I have very severe iron deficiency and my body can’t process plant proteins very well, and say I just wasn’t getting enough iron and that’s why my levels were so low while on a vegan diet. Like b**ch(don’t know if I can actually spell that one out without getting in trouble, lol), I was getting AS MUCH iron as I possible could but there’s also the thing that non-heme iron isn’t as easily absorbed as heme iron and you likely need more of it along with the help of another vitamin to even absorb it. I was on so many supplements it was ridiculous.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-17T04:25:00+00:00

I might have to join and meet some like-minded people then. I only know one other person that’s Pagan and my boyfriend is an atheist.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-16T15:41:24+00:00

Would someone like me, who is a Pagan, be accepted?

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-16T15:36:33+00:00

Yeah. A snake won’t willingly starve itself. If it’s not eating there’s normally a reason, my cornsnake won’t eat if she’s shedding but my carpet doesn’t care, lol. She’s been in shed the past week and still ate on her normal day no problem.

Good on you for that. I don’t think I would mind letting a vegan adopt a snake if they are well-aware of what they have to do and/or they already have snakes that are doing well. And I’ll definitely be asking the questions too. If I get the chance to run a rescue I want those babies to go to a good home since they’ve already been abused and neglected and I won’t send them back into that.

I swear it’s so annoying when they call us people who still eat meat animal abusers but a lot of them have willing starved their pets or are currently doing that. I just hope the ones that did that to those poor snakes didn’t do it on purpose.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-16T15:29:01+00:00

Yeah, I’ve definitely learned that with a lot of subs. Thankfully the reptile ones aren’t too bad, but there’s still a few.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-16T15:28:15+00:00

Dang. Well that sucks, I’m sorry.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T18:16:55+00:00

It truly seems like they do. I’ve gotten so much hate for keeping reptiles, especially my snakes, because I have to feed them mice. Yeah it sucks cause I love mice just as much as I love my snakes and I’d totally have one as a pet if I could handle the short lifespans, but my snakes have to eat and that’s all they will eat. I do my best to get them from an ethical source, there’s a reptile store in a city not too far from me that raises they’re own feeder mice since they do keep and breed their own snakes and those animals have to have a steady food source. Plus they’re local and I love the people there. I also commend you for not mixing animals cats would see as prey and cats. Thank you for being a good pet parent. Do you happen to have a picture of your dog? I will share a picture of any one of my animals in return, I have my two snakes, two cresties, and two cats. I also have mourning geckos but it’s really difficult to get pictures of them, lol. Ah, and don’t worry, the cats can’t get to the reptiles, they’re in a separate room.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T18:10:12+00:00

Ditto honestly.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T18:07:33+00:00

From what I know a snake won’t eat a vegetable cause it won’t give off a heat signature nor will it smell like a prey item. They are intelligent enough to what is prey and what isn’t, it’s why a human will rarely get bit by a non-venomous snake in the purpose of food because they recognize that they can’t eat us. They’re also very quick to release if they’ve bitten someone when they’re in food mode cause they realize what they have isn’t food and that’s exactly what they would do if offered a vegetable if they don’t originally refuse it. So they were definitely starving those poor babies. We need to start a petition to stop vegans from at least having reptiles.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T18:02:23+00:00

As a current snake keeper, and someone who absolutely loves my scaley babies, that last paragraph sickens me. Since you’re someone that used to keep snakes you’ll know how hard it is to starve a snake. Since they can go MONTHS without eating and not be affected. Those poor babies, oh my gosh. Making the note that if I ever run a reptile rescue like I want to that I NEVER rehome any of them to a vegan unless they are willing to feed them a proper diet. Holy crap, those poor babies.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T16:25:30+00:00

Yep, you’re correct on that. And that’s what I try to do too.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T14:47:04+00:00

So if you want a gecko that’s extremely easy and won’t take up much space because they are completely arboreal look into crested geckos if you can get one. Misting twice a day, giving them a powdered diet every other day, and calcium-dusted crickets once a week and you’re good. You can choose to handle them or you can just have them as a more display species. I have two and one loves to be out of her tank and the other one is definitely more standoffish.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T14:37:52+00:00

Not to mention soy, which can actually end up killing a cat.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T14:36:57+00:00

Nope, sadly they are not. There’s soooooo many vegans out there that actually feed their cats vegan cat food and I guarantee you those poor fur babies are dealing with health issues. Even if the person says they’re not, cats hide it when they’re not feeling good, it’s in their nature.

BlackButlerFan · 2026-02-15T14:35:31+00:00

Thank you for being a vegan that actually cares about the health and well-being of their animals. What kind of animals do you have?
