Either is a step in the right direction and reduces animal suffering.
Stop gatekeeping
Sincerely
a vegetarian of 11 years
I’m anti-slavery. I went from owning 7 slaves to 1 house slave and I only lightly beat them. Stop gatekeeping demanding I end all slavery, what I do is ethical.
Sincerely,
A vegan.
This is exactly why people don't associate with vegans btw. I'm entirely plant based and have been for years, but if you call me a vegan I will actually fight you.
No, husbandry and agriculture are not anywhere near slavery. Vegetarianism is no where near slavery.
If you released any domesticated animal into the wild they would die and/or destroy the ecosystem killing billions of people and animals.
I mean they are acting insufferable but if you value animals similarly to humans it's not an insane comparison. And even in their comparison if someone did that in the times of slavery I would still applaud that change.
