why do most people kill animals when they could just not? why be both dumb and evil? pick a struggle, damn.

I love living in a place with lore because i can just go to town and play pretend

people will breed their dogs and put them through entire pregnancies just to sell the puppies or "own" chickens to sell and/or eat the eggs that they lay and just expect everyone else to act like it's normal to exploit an animal's entire reproductive system for their own benefit/profit

fall asleep to the sound of your old rotating fan

one big thing I think people mistake when arguing with vegans is that health conditions/food deserts/severe poverty makes animal products ok.

Little food agency due to medical issues does not stop male chicks from being grinded alive at birth. Living in a food desert doesn't mean dairy cows are not forced into pregnancy year after year until their bodies give out. A homeless man buying McDonalds doesn't somehow divert the money he uses away from funding the leading cause of deforestation.

These things just makes buying animal products absolutely NECCESARY.

Its a huge and important change in perspective, because harming other innocent beings is never ok. It might be NECCESARY, and in those cases excusable(or, morally irrelevant as there was no choice in the matter), but the idea that needless harm is ever alright is a horrible and dangerous viewpoint.

If you do not fall into the rare circumstances of genuine lack of choice (which you statistically probably do not) then you are choosing that needless harm. It is not morally irrelevent to your character, it is entirely a choice-- and a choice that you can change.

If a person, everyday, chose to buy fast fashion, or chose to otherwise hurt others or the planet, we would (and do) judge them. Because we understand that these things are not ok, even when for another person they may be neccesary (such as people economically needing to buy cheap clothes like fast fashion).

NECESSITY FOR SOME DOES NOT = EXCUSES FOR OTHERS. It's strange I have to explain that.
