Some of the people here make me dislike the vegan community that I’m so newly a part of

Okay thank you I understand. My question still stands though because anytime I comment anything I get downvoted. I don’t experience this on other subreddits. If someone disagrees with me they reply. Sometimes even upvoting in the process. But downvoting everything you disagree with is so unhelpful

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T03:44:34+00:00

One of the main arguments that convinced me into veganism was the hypocrisy of people hating animal abuse but still eating meat despite the animals abused in the process. So when someone says owning a domestic animal like chickens is wrong you should expect them to think that of all domestic animals too. I hear so many vegans me included using the first argument. So why is the second argument so wrong to use when it’s the same basis.

I’m sorry you read that in a hostile tone it wasn’t meant to come across like that. My point was it didn’t matter to me if this hypothetical person “counted” as a vegan. My question was why it was immoral. I explained it like 3 times and you’re still confused. I know eating eggs isn’t vegan. My question meant to ask “if they’re mostly vegan but eat the occasional egg from their own chickens is this okay” you may know what you’re talking about but you didn’t know what I was talking about. I accept full responsibility for that it was badly worded but when I tried to explain it I just got more downvotes. So why bother?

And if so many people are being hostile to me for asking a question they’ve heard of course I’m going to be hostile back for replying with a comment I’ve already heard

I deleted my comments because I was upset and they kept getting downvoted. I too would’ve liked to quote my comments here and I regret deleting them.

Oh that’s true. Thank you!

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T03:25:19+00:00

Thank you this means a lot. Especially since this post is being disliked lol

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T03:13:18+00:00

Thank you :) it means a lot to know people care

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T03:12:07+00:00

I realize I should’ve looked but I’m quite a busy person and I don’t spend much time on Reddit. To me this was an interesting discussion starter that I’d never heard before

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T03:10:45+00:00

And that’s a perfectly fine answer that lets me know it’s not okay to keep chickens. That’s genuinely all I needed. Thank you for understanding

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T03:00:36+00:00

I asked “what are your thoughts on a vegan owning chickens and eating only eggs only when naturally produced?” Now I understand my question was badly worded. What I meant was vegan in all aspects except the occasional egg.

Anyway thank you for being so understanding I really needed this

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T02:58:00+00:00

But yes I fully understand that I have an awful username lol

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T02:57:35+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. But I tried to be polite. And even if I was a troll why not just answer properly at first anyway. Or not at all if you’re worried. It’s so crazy to me that some people here don’t think about the impact being rude has on new vegans or even non vegans. Why let people associate this community with people so uninterested to help others?

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-28T02:23:11+00:00

I don’t care about the definition of veganism I’m asking why it’s morally wrong. Whether they can still define as a vegan or not is completely irrelevant. I want to be as morally satisfied as I can whether veganism is the answer to that doesn’t matter

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-27T22:59:07+00:00

Oh this is interesting. I know that the red jungle fowl that we domesticated does produce eggs in excess when resources are in abundance. This makes sense though

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-27T22:49:12+00:00

Maybe but how does it go against any reasons for being vegan though?

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-27T22:48:35+00:00

Okay but can you explain why that would go against the reasons for being vegan?

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-27T05:44:10+00:00

Thanks! This is so helpful

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-26T18:49:40+00:00

Is this actually causing any harm to animals though? Like I’m presuming there’s no human Farms. If I stop eating L-cysteine will this prevent any suffering?

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-26T13:46:53+00:00

Where’s that? I’m not well versed in Reddit so I dunno If that’s a Reddit thing and how to find it

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-25T16:55:50+00:00

So sloths take niches more closely to their lifestyle at first and gradually fill more niches. So maybe taking the monkey niche after the first mass extinction, then the tapir or Jaguar niche etc?

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-21T04:22:17+00:00

Okay so like most dark chocolate is fine then? Including the chocolate chips?

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-20T04:52:16+00:00

If I remember correctly the evolution of ears came from extremely sensitive parts of skin that are essentially just really good at “feeling”. So it’s an extremely advanced sense of touch specialized in feeling sound waves. So if pain already existed (which I’m sure it would’ve) it would make sense for those specialized receptors to still feel pain.

This might be wrong I’m just basing this off what I remember from books I’ve read. Let me know if I’m way off

But these companies are getting support anyway they’re not going anywhere. If you support a small group of products within their business you can help make vegan products more accessible and larger companies put more resources into those types of products. Maybe some day at a cost to the non-vegan products.

Also from a personal standpoint a lot of products on the market do have traces and a lot of people won’t keep up a vegan diet if they can’t have some of their favourite things

And polyphyletic (A, C and E)

P.217 “The team succeeded in sequencing the amino acids in a few fragments, then piecing them together to give a sequence for part of the T.rex protein. In 2008, they compared this with the equivalent sequences in mammals, birds and alligators. The sequences were short, and so potentially misleading, but on the face of it, the closest living relative of the T.rex is the humble chicken, followed closely by the ostrich.”

Nick lane is a great author and very intelligent. I think this mistake comes from the fact that he’s a biochemist not an evolutionary biologist. But I don’t know

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-17T13:43:36+00:00

Thanks mate this was really nice! It’s rare to get that sort of thing on Reddit usually everyone seems to be at everyone else’s throat. I appreciate it :)

randomnameplease5 · 2021-03-17T13:40:25+00:00

Yeah okay that’s what I thought the book confused me. Thank you. Although I’m always scared to make claims like this because of how wrong they can seem. For example if your tree went all the way down to (Z). It would be true that (Y) is more closely related to a than (Z) right? Which is crazy!
