Honestly, I would be vegan-ish rn if not for executive disfunction.
I might have the cash, but just eat meat slop and peanut butter
hmm, I'm interested in what @shapis@lemmy.ml take on this would be.
They get a pass. If they are ever stranded in a deserted island and must kill to survive they get a pass too. Same for if they are about to starve and the only option is hunting a gazelle.
All the other vegans and I agree. We had a meeting.
That’s not even a rounding error in the amount of cruelty and murder we inflict upon animals though. The main concern right now is stop the senseless cycle of breeding little mutant animals in hellish conditions just to murder them at a young age. The scale of that dwarfs all other forms of animal abuse by a few orders of magnitude.
The Vegan Society defines veganism as a philosophy and way of living that seeks to exclude as far as is possible and practicable all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose.
I feel like that is a good definition and a good way to go about it.
I fucking KNEW it, secret vegan Star Chamber is always on my bingo card.
All i need now "proof that koala's control the weather" and some sort of under-earth morlock analogue.
but yeah, meat industry is horrific, as is a lot of the underpinnings of modern society, my previous response wasn't arguing against that.
