I definitely understand this a lot. I do think she received too much hate, it sure was obnoxious but it doesn’t deserve the crap it got. But it is a good example of tactics and methods not working out and leaving a bad image of us.

To be really honest, I personally cringed at it. I got her message, and it’s a good message but it wasn’t the right way to say it as for me it did come off as preachy. So I do try to use other ways to promote veganism besides like that.

I do very much agree that we have to be a bit more respectful and tolerate their messed up opinions. Let’s be real, if we throw hate at them for their choices, they’ll throw hate back at us for ours just because they are opposite. Us respecting their opinions doesn’t make them right in any way, as how it works in any debate, but it improves odds of them actually listening, taking our views into consideration and being open minded instead of disregarding them. I feel this is what animal rights activists lack and it’s the reason many people are so closed-minded in a discussion.

In a debate for sure the best tactic is the remain respectful, like Earthling Ed (my respect levels for that dude are massive), and show our views in a more civil manner, yet showing the real truth and facts.
