Repeat after me: - Veganism is not affordable - Veganism is not cruelty free - Veganism is not the best choice for everyone

[caged-freedom-deactivated201702]

Repeat after me -I’m an idiot and wrong. -Veganism can be made affordable. -Veganism is fucking cruelty free. That’s what it’s all about. - Veganism is the best choice for everyone, if everyone did it. -I’m a fucking asshole for making this completely wrong text post and should shut the hell up now.

Exploiting undocumented immigrants, and other workers is cruelty free? Nearly 500,000 children as young as six harvest 25 percent of US crops.

But I guess brown people don’t fucking matter.

People are literally starving in South America because all the Quinoa crop is being exported mainly for white vegans who want to live “cruelty-free” but don’t care about brown people as much as they do about animals.

plus, 4 of the 8 most common food allergies (soy, wheat, peanuts, and tree nuts) are common vegan substitutes.

o shit

[captainlordauditor]

i would literally starve to death if i couldn’t eat cheese or meats because my body cannot process nuts as they are too rough on my intestines and cause inflammation

[breelandwalker]

Plus there are vegan articles floating around decrying the use of honey, even though the production and harvest of honey by responsible beekeepers doesn’t hurt the bees at all and is not exploitative, and that misinformation hurts the honey industry, which is TRYING TO SAVE BEES FROM EXTINCTION.

Seeing as many vegans don’t think (or don’t care) about the human cruelty aspects of veganism, I’ll add that many animals are killed and habitats destroyed to produce arable crops. Rabbits are regularly shot and killed to protect crops. If a farmer has a particularly bad rabbit problem i.e. a large, established warren, they may use a gas bomb like the Rodenator to destroy the warren and kill or relocate the rabbits. Also works well to kill rats and moles. Harvesting crops kills or destroys the homes of many small animals like mice. Even organic farming uses pesticides to kill insects. Poison is used to protect stored food such as grains from rats and mice. Pest control is essential for food production. Without it farmers worldwide simply would not be able to meet the demand for food.

It is literally impossible to live cruelty free in modern western society. Animals have been used as resources, exterminated as pests, and harmed indirectly by humans for millenia. Humans have exploited each other probably since before we were recognisable as humans. There’s also the environmental footprint of producing and importing food.

All we can do is reduce harm. Being vegan does not mean you are living a cruelty free life.

I’m surprised nobody’s brought up palm oil yet. Thousands of orangutans a year are displaced or outright killed to make room for commercial palm oil farming. Palm oil is one of the most commonly used vegan cooking fats.

[xsoldier]

All you fine vegan folk out there, just remember that veganism, like all things, is all a slow, imperfect process to work to improve things. Don’t feel that the steps your taking are futile because they’re imperfect, but by the same token, don’t think that the steps you’re taking are flawless and blemish-free either. They all have their own sets of problems. As heterotrophic organisms, we’ll always be consuming energy that other living things have processed first, and any path to making that impact less significant to other things is great, but there’s no simple one-size-fits all solution.
