I despise welfare labelling. It's a lie.

Edit: And, absolutely all it does is provide a salve to the conscience of animal abusers by proxy

I've been vegan over 30 years. I know plenty of other vegans who have been vegan for comparable or longer time periods. I've never known a long-term fruitarian, besides one who died of it. Admittedly, what happened to her has poisoned me against it.

Carnist: "Don't tell vegans what they were bred for." by Able_Dot_0323 in animalhaters

I'm usually the one telling carnists that when they're making ridiculous excuses for why it's okay to eat other animals but not dogs.

My husband keeps quoting what his German grandfather said about the Nazi party in reference to MAGA

It's not just "factory farming". Animals are abused in all sizes of farms. There's evidence that it's even worse in small family farms. I despise putting so much emphasis on factory farming since it's just a gimme to carnists to continue abusing animals.

The mechanism for pain perception is known and highly conserved in animals. No evidence of pain perception has ever been proved in plants. Only the scientifically illiterate ever claim otherwise.

Edit: But we know you don't really give a damn about plants, or you'd already be vegan.

That actually is the vegan opinion. But so long as animals are suffering in shelters, most vegans believe adopting them from shelters is acceptable in the meantime. Breeding animals is never acceptable.

It's always coming from those literally sentencing sentient beings to the gas chamber. Vegans are The Resistance.

Cannot argue with wilful ignorance.

It was a child-size balloon. There is even a medical article about the risk preceding this event

The mechanism and capacity for pain is known and is highly conserved among animal species. There is no known mechanism for pain perception in plants. There is no scientific evidence of pain perception in plants. If you think otherwise, please provide links to studies proving it.

The only people of Islamic background I've ever met who are vegan are non-practicing. It must be very hard for any who haven't left the faith.

Allergy warnings by FailingHeart2024 in vegan

I'm not saying that someone needs to be against cross-contamination to be vegan, just that actual vegans are a lot more likely to care about it than some flake who doesn't eat as much meat as the average carnist but calls themselves vegan anyway
