- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I understand the motivation behind this opinion and would like to see testing of beauty products on animals outlawed. But pigs with lipstick is not really what you take the most issues with, is it? It's about giving rabbits cancer so we can test new cancer drugs on them. Assuming we make that illegal, how do you propose new cancer treatments should be tested?
Must have nothing to do with the fact that people have a life expectancy under 60 years old... Nah, it's because they fast and do exercise..
Cancer isn't a new thing, cancer in human has existed for as long as humans have because it existed before human were a thing.
What's the life expectancy among these indigenous people, and what is the life expectancy in the Western country the doctor is from?
Yeah, I've noticed that cancer rates seem particularly low in infants. Maybe that means breast milk and baby food fights cancer? This needs funding, fast.
