Nooooo, because shame and insults are clearly the best ways to get people to switch over to your ideology. /s
Why /s
/s
It worked on me. I went vegan because I was ashamed of eating meat. If you’re not a vegan then I don’t think you have any perspective on what’s effective at getting people to go vegan.
so if i and enough other people think your a fool and deride you long enough because you got peer pressured and bullied into making your dietary decisions youll switch back to eating meat ?
No, you can’t make me feel guilty for not eating dead animal, it doesn’t work like that.
Ok. We’re on the prairie. There’s literally nothing here to eat but bison, though somehow you’ve got it into your head that you can eat grass. Fine, we’ll let you try for a bit until you come to your senses. Two weeks later your digestion is fucked, you’re lethargic, and we have to carry you.
You, MindTraveller, have just become a burden to the whole group, lowering all of our chances of survival, all over some so-called “principle”. I know of gods, I know of spirits, if your principles are anything like that then certainly they must be evil. Maybe shaming won’t help to drive them out, we can try other rites, but if nothing helps then we will have to leave you behind.
It worked for christianity, or any religion fir that matter. “You’re a filthy heathen and you’re not allowed the privileges of a normal human if you don’t pretend to believe in my particular set of fairytales”
Is that really what convinced people though?
Don’t imagine the folks with megaphones actually convert many folks.
Whoever said that is probably a murderer and a rapist.
You know what’s “funny”. Vegans DO fund not only alternatives but also meat subsidies with the taxes on vegan food. For meat to be as cheap as it is, a lot of tax money is going into the industry
Yeah same can be said of the military industrial complex. Welcome to lemmy, most people here hate the government
Also, who says vegans don’t support these ventures and call people murderers at the same time. We can have both.
The screaming, raging, seething and antagonizing only serves to make people less receptive to such ventures.
Because staying quiet works way better.
Get out of here if your reason. Only pitchforks and mob violence allowed
It makes me think of that Stone Henge thing just recently. That was such a despicable shit show that people have been calling it a false flag to distance it from actual activism.
They’re sending their most devoted, not their brightest
They used water soluble pigment. It’ll wash off when the rain comes. There’s no chemical reaction with the stone that could cause lasting damage. And given that it’s fucking England, I’m sure the rain has already come and washed it away. You’re getting mad over nothing.
So you’re going to coal-roll now?
I consider myself a flexitarian, I adopt puppies, give them a good life till they’re about 2 years old, then humanely slaughter them and eat them. The stuff I don’t eat I backfeed to the next round of puppies.
I am so with this post, what I do is so much more sustainable and humane than anything that happens on a farm. Extremists harrassing me should fund lab grown meat instead. Really this is more ethical than eating beans because of crop deaths.
Your mistake here was saying “puppies” too early. You have to lead with a couple paragraphs of how you’re a flexitarian who has a farm and humanely raised animals like pets and then slaughters and feed them to your family.
Then list off the animals you exploit, cows, pigs, dogs, chickens, cats and ducks. Then their brain gets hit with the dissonance of “wait why did I support this and then stop the second they said ‘dog’?” That jarring experience can work for the intellectually honest type.
Saying it too early means they can categorize your post as satire easily and not engage with it at all mentally.
Eh, mostly I’m just pointing out how stupid this is to anyone with half a brain in their head.
We have animal rights legislation and morals for reasons, and nobody who like protests whaling gets criticised for not growing fake whale meat. You might disagree on where the line should be but it’s just outing yourself as someone with underdeveloped theory of mind if you don’t understand why people might feel strongly about it being further down the tree of life.
Don’t farmers specifically not form bonds with the animals they intend to slaughter? Isn’t it socially acceptable to eat dogs and cats in some countries? Personally, raising your own meat and slaughtering it for consumption does indeed sound like the best way to go about it.
yes yes an yes.
“wait why did I support this and then stop the second they said ‘dog’?
It’s a bad idea in general to eat predators because the higher up the food chain you go the higher the chance you’ll contract an illness. Humans are not alone at all among predators to practically only go after grazers, and not other predators. We leave the rest to carrion eaters who specialise to deal with all kinds of nasty stuff.
People thinking that this is some kind of grand ethical-philosophical argument or conundrum just shows how alienated they are from the ways of nature.
It goes to show how much we purposefully disregard the ways of nature, actually.
Moral decisions are not made on the grounds of “is this natural”? A lot of things are moral and unnatural, and a lot of things are immoral and natural. It should be incredibly easy for you to think of examples, but if you’re really struggling I can give some.
They’re orthogonal discussions.
It’s cool knowing this
Dogs have not been human food in the absurdly long time they’ve been around except for very rare occasions. This is just a stupid “point” in your stupid fucking vegan brain.
I.e, I don’t have dogs on my food list simply because they’re not a part of the normal human food ecosystem not because I have some moral objections
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. It’s almost into not even wrong territory. I think you should contact a philosophy department and ask them why they haven’t considered this.
I consider myself a flexitarian, I adopt puppies, give them a good life till they’re about 2 years old, then humanely slaughter them and eat them. The stuff I don’t eat I backfeed to the next round of puppies.
I do the puppy thing as well, but I don’t eat them (they’re nasty). I just like killing puppies.
Can’t help but notice the sudden influx of downvotes for any comment that isn’t making the claim that all farmers fuck cows. It’s almost like some kind of brigade.
do you think .world admins care?
Honestly no they are pretty lax but feel free to ask them
Wait, you don’t fuck your cow?
Sorry, I can’t speak to that. I’m not a farmer.
the post was in the top10 of “active” in /all, so everyone gets a vote, and it IS a topic where emotions tend to run high, regardless of stance to the topic, so thats to be expected
I’m honored, though tbh I expected this post to not be this controversial
The veganism movement is growing.
People will stop laughing at your animal abuse jokes.
It’s brigading when you don’t like their opinion.
>A sudden, sharp influx of users presenting behavior and opinions leaning in a specific direction that was previously much less represented
>“DUrR yoU jUSt DoNT LikE iT”
I saw enough r/nonewnornal brigades back in 2020 to have an idea. A harshly different upvote/downvote ratio along opinion lines between the post itself and the comments is a very good indicator.
Saw plenty of apologist/sockpuppet comments like yours back then, too. May have seen this one almost ver batim, in fact.
I already apologized to the mods here. I’ve been watching the vote counters fluctuate. I’m really sorry the nice people from shitpost are having to deal with this I just wanted a funny post.
wah, someone felt targeted!
The best thing for a vegan to do is to keep being a vegan. Seriously, just keep on doing it.
It doesn’t mean evangelise, it doesn’t mean denigrate, it means just carry on doing what works for you.
If you’re insulting other folks, or trying to push a lifestyle, odds are folks don’t dislike you because you’re vegan.
idk, I’m a meat eater and if it wasn’t for vegans evangelizing I really wouldn’t know how messed up meat production is. We allow some seriously cruel shit to fellow sentient beings, far beyond just killing them, and no one wants to think about it.
You definitely have a point; informing and evangelising are closer than we’d like to admit. Then again, the messenger is often as important as the message - in the case of the vegan debate too many folks choose the moral option rather than the pragmatic one.
As a species, we find it hard to empathise with the death of our own at massive scales, why would we be capable of doing it for organisms we were brought up to consider food?
However, almost all of us are on a massively reduced budget, it’d be a shame if folks shared delicious recipes that can be made cheaply and just so happen to be vegan right?
The next best thing for a non-vegan to do isn’t to switch right away, it’s to start finding vegan things you enjoy more than meat!
Eating a whole foods plant based diet is 30% cheaper
“Oxford University research has today revealed that, in countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and across Western Europe, adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third.”
“The study, which compared the cost of seven sustainable diets to the current typical diet in 150 countries, using food prices from the World Bank’s International Comparison Program, was published in The Lancet Planetary Health.”

You have no right to sacrifice victims for your life style for their body and their secretions
Your fist swinging stops the moment it touches the nose of an animal.
Sorry, best thing for a vegan to do in order to do what?
Make the world a better place
To enjoy life as a vegan?
Oh, that boat’s long since sailed, but I appreciate the thought
Sorry to hear that, I hope things start looking up in the future.
Happy trails!
Meat alternatives already exist. I am sorry the vegan community wasn’t sucking you off over your animal abuse though.
Did you bother to read my comments in the relevant thread or are you speaking from a position of omnipotence?
I read the first in the list and got what’s continued in this thread to appear to be a perfectly accurate read.
I honestly wish people as irritating as you had their own instance so I could just block it outright without the extra work.
Says the same group of people who follow vegans to the ends of the earth to argue against their philosophy of treating others better
Bye! 💜
Most meat alternatives like impossible burgers are bullshit.
Ultra processed shit food.
There’s a lot of good vegan food that doesn’t pretend to be burgers, ribs or anything else besides what is it.
Plus who fucks an animal before you eat it?
If you’re looking for context, this is a shit post about my recent interactions with a certain community of vegans
Vegancirclejerk?
My comment history is not locked
It is however Removed
It wasn’t till I posted this meme lol. I’ll take screenshots later
Makes sense, I saw your instance and I had questions that I did not want to ask.
Yeah, we don’t associate with those people either
That’s fur the best.
Is this a reverse rim job Steve moment?
Someone with a wholesome username saying something utterly depraved?
Vegans need to downvote anyone that disagrees when them is proof their ideas cannot stand scrutiny. They do not relish in a debate of in any capacity. They don’t even have original ideas, it’s the same couple talking points because it’s ideology base. They call themselves converts but won’t accept it’s a religion.
Amen
Yea, but they also hate the lab grown stuff that’s being worked on which is so close to the real thing without all the killing and cruelty and stuff
Beyond burgers are literally right there lmao. You don’t need lab grown meat to stop supporting animal abuse, it’s a thinly veiled excuse to avoid having to change and grow as a person
2 things, 1) I can’t afford it as a regular item 2) Id say they’re maybe 70% there, there’s still a taste and texture issue. I personally don’t mind it and would happily switch over if it weren’t for #1
Vegans/Vegetarians will never get the vast majority of people out there to give up meat, best shot is that lab meat if they can get the cost equivalent to real meat.
Lab grown meat is gonna be even more expensive, and 70% is way more than enough there that it’s no excuse to support animal abuse
Lab grown meat is gonna be even more expensive
Sounds like the perfect thing to advocate that the government subsidizes while the tech matures and comes down in cost on its own.
70% is way more than enough there that it’s no excuse to support animal abuse
Like I said, if I could afford it I would have switched already long ago, I personally am fine with the taste and texture. But for many others, that 30% is gonna be a deal breaker.
That’s why I support the https://www.agriculturefairnessalliance.org/
Another frustrating thing about alternative meat burgers is they are often still using animal products…
Impossible burgers cooked right on the skillet are pretty damn good, imo. And easy. I’m no vegetarian but we keep them in our weeknight rotation.
That’s fine, just remember they’re junk food and not the health food people seem to think they are.
Who literally thinks they’re a health food? I’ve never met someone in real life that’s told me that.
You’ve never heard people say they’re made from plants so they are healthy?
It’s usually the same people who talk about their nerds or potato chips being gluten free or their Oreos vegan.
They’re not really a junk food. They’re not as healthy as eating straight-up vegetables, but they’re definitely not junk food.
They’re nearly as salty as potato chips and loaded with saturated fat.
Impossible has more salt than beef, but less saturated fat.
They have more protein, fiber, and iron than beef.
Red meat consumption has been shown to increase risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer, full stop.
I don’t know what a “health food” would be, but I would probably classify them as foods that are healthier alternatives to foods that are proven bad for your health. Which is what “Impossible” etc. are.
Health food is anything that isn’t processed to hell and back.
Impossible is just alternative junk food. Like vapes are for cigarettes. Healthier still means crap. I’d probably just use mushrooms or tofu as a patty if I wanted an alternative to beef.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are not well-informed about what “processed” food constitutes, to begin with.
According to the Department of Agriculture, processed food are any raw agricultural commodities that have been washed, cleaned, milled, cut, chopped, heated, pasteurized, blanched, cooked, canned, frozen, dried, dehydrated, mixed or packaged.
As such, most of our diet is processed food, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If there are particular ingredients that have been added in the processing of any consumer product that are themselves bad for your health, I would definitely encourage abstinence from that product.
While vaping is monumentally safer for one’s health than cigarette smoking, both are still a needless introduction of potential harm to one’s health, I agree.
But we must eat food, and the harm from that food being vaguely “processed” versus the harm from it containing ingredients certainly known to contribute to stroke, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes just isn’t a worthwhile comparison.
Impossible belongs to the ultra-processed food category.
No, it does not.
The definition by The Global Panel on Agrigulture and Food Systems for Nutrition of “Ultra-Processed Foods” is contingient on those foods being depleted in dietary fiber, protein, various micronutrients, and other bioactive compounds.
While the oreos you’re using in other examples would probably fit that definition, the alternative meats we’re discussing don’t, as they are “processed” to include those constituents.
Plus who fucks an animal before you eat it?
Yeah! Most of the girls I’ve dated prefer it the other way around
Mammals need to be pregnant to produce milk, so to get cow milk you have to impregnate a cow. That’s what they mean by rapist.
They only need to be pregnant once. The calf milk is different than normal milk and can not be sold. The stuff we drink is what happens after a calf is born but you never stop milking so the cow stays productive. I think you need to revisit mamal biology. Once the process of Milk production is started milk will be produced in most mammals till the long term cessation of mamary tisssue stimulation.
Im sorry, but what kind of mammal biology are you talking about that says that two different types of milk come from the same animal?
Also, milk production usually does go down somewhat over time and sometimes even does cease, and it’s different for every individual, which makes it less predictable and less profitable to just impregnate a cow once. This is why dairy farmers almost always try to impregnate their cows yearly. Here’s one source, there’s plenty more coming up if you look it up on a search engine though https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/farm/dairy/farming
Imagine having access to the entire repository of human knowledge at your fingertips and being this ignorant.
And? My point still stands, a cow that hasn’t been impregnated will not produce milk. Is only doing it once supposed to make it better?
Nope that’s not how it works at all. They keep reimpregnanting the mother and then they take the calf away for slaughter while the mother cries for her child for months on end.
Even if what you said was true (spoilers: it’s not and you’re making shit up, most dairy cows are impregnated once a year) your argument is that it’s ok because we only rape and kill the cows calf shortly after birth once.
It’s fine that you have shitty opinions, but stop spreading misinformation to support them. And definitely stop doing it while using big words to smugly pretend you’re smarter than other people.
no one is raping cows
most calves are brought to full weight before slaughter
Force raping animals is okay if you only do it once or sometimes! /s 🥴
no one is raping animals.
Or every day even! Remember, you sound crazy for complaining about things I’ve decided I like so you should just let it happen. Care for a nice tall glass of rape juice? 🥛
🙌
it’s not rape, it’s a veterinary procedure called artificial insemination and it’s safer than letting a bull mount them.
Lmao it doesn’t matter how you sugarcoat it. It is rape nonetheless.
no, it’s not
I’ve never had to impregnate a cow.
Think about dairy what you will, but ‘I didn’t do it, I paid someone else to do it’ is never a very solid argument in a debate on ethics.
only farmers pay for artificial insemination.
Naw, they’re fine. Processed food is fine, too. Everything in moderation and a side salad.
Plus who fucks an animal before you eat it?
Everyone eating dairy.
Cows are mammals. They produce milk for their calves, its not something that cows just naturally produce. So the dairy industry only exists from repeated forcible impregnation.
forcible impregnation
Rape. You meant rape.
no one is raping cows
Everyone who drinks milk fucks cows?
Am I supposed to take you seriously right now?
It’s like if you pay a hitman to do some murders for you. Are you a murderer? I guess not technically, but ‘conspirator to commit murder’ doesn’t have the same ring to it. Thus we just opt for rapist, since you support an industry that annually rapes cows and kills their calves so that you can enjoy a tall glass of cow juice.
It’s ok if that’s what you want to do. No judgement here.
I pay taxes so am I responsible for the murders and wars my government commits?
You can’t really compare the two things. You have limited control over how your taxes are spent, you can vote on how you want them spent and protest the actions of your government, but outside of that it’s not up to you.
With milk, though, you are directly financing it by buying the product, and the product wouldn’t exist without those things happening. So you are in effect a ‘conspirator to cow rape’ since your demand incites the act.
Dairy production is heavy subsidized so even if you don’t buy it you are still supporting the industry.
So yes it can be compared.
Ok, so because you’re being needlessly pedantic here is the comparison.
I am not directly responsible for the wars and murders my government commits because of the reasons I stated above. But if they had a big bucket that said ‘put money in this big bucket to directly support the wars and murders of your government’ and I were to put money in of my own free will - then yes I would be directly responsible for those wars and murders.
If I do not put money in I am not directly responsible.
That’s the difference between paying taxes and buying a bottle of cow milk.
buying a product from a shelf is nothing like hiring a hitman.
Yeah, I used a metaphor to help explain how you can be found responsible for something even if you didn’t do the thing yourself.
but your analogy doesn’t reflect the reality of the situation
I guess I don’t agree with you. If I buy a product that specifically requires the death of an animal I would feel like I am responsible for the death of that animal and monetarily incentivising the death of other animals.
If I pay a hitman to kill someone I am not innocent of murder.
You don’t get to support an industry that kills animals and then say you’re not responsible for the death of animals.
no one is raping cows
Without getting into a semantics debate on what rape is. The reason the word is used is because dairy cows are impregnated by fisting the cows asshole and stimulating their cervix before squirting a semen gun into their vagina. The cows cannot consent to this so the word rape is used. Some people might not consider it rape for whatever reason and yes, the word was probably chosen to be provocative. But that’s the explanation.
it’s not rape. it’s a veterinary procedure. animals don’t consent to any veterinary procedures. it’s not rape.
Who are you trying to convince?
Now you see what I’ve been dealing with
I’ll just throw a piece of bacon on my cheeseburger tonight in honour of that commenter.
Found the 10 year old
I guess I’ll wash down the meal with some ice cream now.
Healthy choices
Why go for a cheeseburger when you could do a veal Parmesan covered in cheese.
I don’t eat veal, that shit is cruel.
Oh like you care, go get you some. We won’t think any less of you.
You realise that veal is often just the calves taken from dairy cows, right? If you drink milk you are already supporting veal. They’re killed anyway, it’s just the difference between them being discarded or being sold.
lol
How the fuck did you think milk was produced? This is literally grade school biology. Farmers rape cows for their milk, and you pay them for the privilege.
no one is raping cows
It’s literally penetrating a genitals to impregnate them against their will for our own benefit, the definition of rape. Saying you don’t care about the rape of cows and will keep eating dairy is your opinion, but denying that it is rape is just straight up cognitive dissonance.
you claim it’s against their will but how can you prove that?
it’s not rape. it’s a veterinary procedure.
You make it sound like the farmers are all about the cow 'tang.
They literally made cow tang their job.
They probably get off on fisting the cow’s asshole before they even shove the insemination gun in tbh
I think you seriously underestimate how much non-human raping goes on in the animal world. Many species have dicks that have evolved specifically to facilitate rape.
And…?
What does that have to do with humans choosing to rape cows for profit? Total non-sequitur. Bears shit in the woods, does that mean you do too? Animals rape, therefore you should too?
Sometimes I shit in the woods 🖐️ not cause bears do it, just cause there’s no toilets out there and it is kinda nice tbh
I would never buy animal products tho, that shit is fucked up 😬
Everyone who drinks milk is funding the repeated rape of cows, to be more specific.
no one is raping cows
Isn’t the dairy industry heavily subsidized so would anyone paying taxes be doing that too?
Do you pay taxes?
You see part of the problem with the system then. This is why vegans go as far as possible and practicable, because animal abuse is built into everything and is not optional. We’re trying to minimize it where we can, and use that momentum to eventually get rid of some of the malevolent built in nonsense we all have to deal with. Nobody should be subsidizing cow rapists and murders, and it shouldn’t be a requirement to live here to.
Your language makes you sound like an anti-abortion nutcase.
Cow rapist!
Baby killer!
It’s all the same to someone that doesn’t feel as strongly about your beliefs as you.
Sorry, do you have another term for the non consensual penetration of someone’s ass and vagina? I’m listening.
Everyone who drinks milk is funding the repeated rape of cows
False. I drink goat milk!
Meat eater felt threatened.
Shaking in my boots tail between my legs
https://www.lifelongvegan.org/2018/01/why-vegans-are-skinny-and-weak.html
but… they do fund the meat alternatives. thry literally pay money for that shit? I guess thst’s ehy it’s a shitpost
They’re overpaying for them. Which them makes companies calculate “we could sell a lot of product at small profit margins to the general vegetarian and flexi public” vs. “we could not invest in production capacity and charge affluent urban vegans and arm and a leg” and guess what they’re going for.
The reason why there’s tons of almond etc. milks costing 3-4 times as much per litre as actual milk is not because of subsidies. It’s because vegans are stupid enough to buy 20 cents of ingredients for that price.
You should open an almond milk store, undercut the big boys, and make a fortune.
I’m not even a vegetarian and I’ve heard way more fellow meat eaters fucking constantly bitching about vegans than I’ve ever heard vegans being annoying about it.
Just feels like whiny baby bullshit honestly.
Tbf, there are way more non-vegans than there are vegans. I feel like this should be expected to an extent. This meme is dumb though. What vegan is out there calling non-vegans rapists?
What vegan is out there calling non-vegans rapists?
I’ve been told that before. Not being vegan implies you support terrible breeding practices which makes you a rapist… apparently… Which is especially dumb considering nobody likes the terrible breeding practices to begin with
Nobody likes the practice, the difference is that vegans take a moral stand and choose not to contribute to it, while meat eaters shrug it off and continue to pay the people committing those acts, because they’d rather cows get anally fisted and forcibly impregnated than drink a milk with a different flavour.
Your comment actually made me wonder if the Lemmy community’s vegan/vegetarian communities are better, and I need to look it up!
The reddit ones seem very hostile when I tried to participate as a person who eats meat but mostly has a vegetarian diet (and my wife is fully vegetarian)
They are not.
Never, ever disclose that you are not a level 5 vegan or else they will scream at you while pretending that you are the problem.
Former vegan, long term vegetarian; I don’t even like telling people I am a vegetarian because of the agresive ones.
If you want a meat alternative try black bean burgers or falafel. Both are solid options.
Sticking up for animals is so aggressive
You won’t convince people if you act like a jerk. You will convince people if you are a good cook.
Eating animals and using their secretions is way more jerk like
¿Por qué no los dos?
Because only one of them is productive
The most successful rights movements have been those thar were the loudest.
The most successful rights movements have been those that were supported by capital of the landowners
I came up with an idea recently so I just have to ask: are you a false flag? Your behavior doesn’t serve to make anyone more open to your position. In fact, it serves the exact opposite purpose. So, really, are you a false flag trying to make people less receptive to veganism as a whole or what?
Great insight. I always come to social media to change people’s minds, because that’s a method that works.
Ah, so you just came to insult, troll, seethe, etc. then. Thanks for clearing that up.
Porque eres un ano
As someone who was successfully converted to veganism I’m not going to take your shitty cow raping, carnist ass, stanky opinions on how to convert people. Go on, chuck a few slices of bacon in the pan for me.
vegans are insufferable to animal abusers the way environmentalists are insufferable to climate change deniers
no one likes animal abuse
Could have fooled me looking at this thread
They might not like it but they sure do tolerate it happening to an animal they like the taste of and don’t actually have to see it themselves.
you tolerate it to the exact same degree. if you want to stop animal abuse, you need to go to where they are being abused and stop it.
People who eat animal products support it tho
no one supports animal abuse
Except non-vegans
no. no one.
I will. I plan on enjoying it. I hope you recognize that I’m doing this at your behest, equivalent to you eating the meat.
Also, have you ever considered that some people know where their meat comes from and know that it’s not being kept in horrible conditions? I don’t really care that it’s dying to feed me. Plants die to feed me too.
I’m not going to get into the environmental aspect as I know that veganism is better for the environment, but just shifting away from factory farmed red meat would be a huge positive change and then you don’t even piss off the majority of the population (that see you as a self-righteous shithead) :)
Obviously I’d prefer it if you didn’t eat animals but I’m actually chill with just being more mindful about what you support. If you’re going out of your way to try and minimise the harm you’re doing then that’s better than most people.
And at least you recognise the environmental harm. The only thing that really annoys me is people lying about these things.
Go on, chuck a few slices of bacon in the pan for me.

I, too, kill people to spite other people I don’t like. One time a woman cut me off in traffic, so I murdered my girlfriend and buried her in the backyard to piss that driver off
no one is raping cows
Except dairy farmers
no. no one .
So you’re saying the cows in farms all consent to being impregnated by a farmer’s fist up their vagina? How? How do cows consent to handjobs?
no. I’m saying no animal has ever consented to any veterinary procedure, and that is ok. artificial insemination is not rape.
Let me ask you this: where do you stand on shearing sheep?
EDIT: Since the user chose to ignore my question, I’ll just explain my reasoning. Many vegans consider the shearing of sheep and using of wool to be cruel, with some having ‘rape’ and ‘molestation’ narratives like those being addressed in this meme and active in this thread. Despite this, modern sheep require sheering for their health, and will become matted, heavy and overheated otherwise.
I didn’t choose to ignore anything. I just have a life outside of being an annoying vegan.
You already knew what I was going to say, though. I’m personally against wool products because they breed sheep specifically to grow unhealthy amounts of wool and once the few good coats they have in them are gone they send them off to be killed for food anyway.
Sheep can also be mistreated during the shearing process, and since shearers are often paid per sheep they’re incentivised to rush through them.
I’m not going to use the word rape here since I don’t think it applies.
Have I activated any trap cards?
There’s nothing wrong with shearing sheep if there’s no exploitation occurring. The problem is when you add a profit motive to keep breeding animals designed with their exploitation in mind.
However, I’m going to go out on limb here, and there probably aren’t many sheep in the care of vegans except on animal sanctuaries. The important thing is to stop buying wool and funding animal exploitation.
Huh, I wonder if sheep used to grow less sool and humans just bred them for a lot of wool. Time to go research!
Edit: that is exactly what happened. Wild sheep do not grow a lot of wool.
Yes, they did. Either way, however, not shearing domestic sheep is harmful to them, and I’ve personally seen the molestation “argument” appear in response to such a statement in the past.
Someone who’s more informed might respond with something about the selective breeding. Plenty will still respond with the same energy already seen within this thread.
Bunch of triggered meat flakes 🤡
Surely this has nothing to do with calling people murderers and rapists…
I’m not the one calling people murderers and rapists
Yeah, you’re the one being called a murderer and rapist
Yeah and it’s so annoying because I haven’t actually been chaught, yet.
