Me, crying: “gee, thanks Deborah, it looks fucking terrible”

Show non-vegans this when they claim veganism somehow negatively effects minorities more than a traditional western diet does
Anti-vegans who feign concern for crop pickers when this video comes up:
This is amazing
u r not ugly!! :( thank u for ur service possum
vegans that try to mix their veganism with social justice movements are super ://
whoa its almost as if animal agriculture is harmful! like human rights watch calling factory farms ‘systematic human rights violations!’ like slaughtehrouse work being the most dangerous in america, despite underreporting of injuries due to ¼ of workers being illegal immigrants! like 82% of starving children live where crops are fed to animals which are exported for western consumption’! like the UN stating reducing meat consumption to ‘37.4/kg/capita in 2050 would free estimated 400 million tons of cereal per year for human consumption, enough for 1 billion people’! like meat processors suffering significantly increased mental health problems! like livestock being the leading cause of climate change and water pollution, both having a legally recognized negative impact on human rights! like 663 million people being without clean water when 76 trillion gallons are used in livestock production annually!
vegans mix with social justice movements bc they’re fucking linked.
pretty sure 99% of vegans have never been on an actual farm in their lives
Pretty sure 99% of nonvegans only tell themselves this because they can’t accept the fact that all animal farms mistreat the animals in some way as it is impossible to breed, rear, and slaughter an animal without mistreating or even downright abusing them.
ok tell me that when uve worked on a farm ur whole life lol
You don’t have to live on a farm your entire life to understand the typical practices that occur on farms. On the contrary living on a farm your entire life would raise you according to the traditions entrenched in farming families and actually make you biased towards a pro-farming viewpoint. That is why farmers can send their animals to slaughter, cut their horns off, or castrate, skin, brand, or cut tails off them without anaesthetic and go on to say they don’t abuse or mistreat their animals. Being raised on a farm and in a farming lifetstyle means you are desensitised to a lot of the mistreatment that occurs.
But I am telling you this as I have visited and learned the workings of multiple farms through my continuing veterinary degree, from organic to intensive to extensive they all have one thing in common. They all mistreat their animals in some way. It is inevitable, because to treat an animal according to their best well-being, productivity and profit would be reduced and the practice would become unsustainable.
breaking news: you can’t truly know anything about the way animals are treated to get to you as food unless you’ve literally lived on an actual farm your entire life. more at 10
This shit right here is more than ignorance, it’s a silencing technique. You cannot comment on animal agriculture unless you have been an insider in the industry or directly profited from it. Think about what that means and who it completely shuts out. Think about the fact that this essentially means that unless you’re likely to be completley bias on animal agriculture, you’re not allowed to even have an opinion on it. This argument is utterly irrational; I can learn a great deal about magma without living inside a fucking volcano.
Many of us have seen thousands of hours of the undercover slaughter footage you guys point blank refuse to even entertain. Your average vegan knows far more about farms than your average non-vegan, given the fact that research is what got us here in the first place, and many of us have spent time at farms or slaughterhouses as part of our activism, as I have. Nothing irritates me more than being lectured on basic knowledge by anti-vegans when most of them think cows are magical milk machines and that pigs trot merrily to their death.
And then when former animal farmers and ranchers, like Bob Comis and Howard Lyman, do become vegans and animal advocates, non-vegans remain strangely silent.
From June 13th, 2017:
Jay Wilde, 59, who farms in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, sent 63 cattle to a Norfolk rescue centre as he could no longer bear to send them to be killed.
“Cows have good memories and a range of emotions. They form relationships. I’ve even seen them cry,” he said.
“It was very difficult to do your best to look after them and then send them to the slaughterhouse for what must be a terrifying death.”
me: animals feel pain
tumblr: THIS IS WHY EVERYONE HATES VEGANS
milk drinkers arent valid sorry
say that to me when i break ur fragile bones
This is a capitalist lie to help keep cattle farming at peak cost effectiveness
People who breed animals for fun or profit are scum.
Animals do not exist to make you money. They do not exist for your amusement.
There are too many companion animals. Shelters and rescues are overrun. You are adding to the problem. It is YOUR fault that dog will be put down today. It’s YOUR fault that parrot rescue can’t take in more.
And to those who breed wild animals as pets? Are you kidding me?
Fuck breeders. Adopt don’t shop.
omg vegans know other people can’t go vegan but ARE YOU one of those people? No? Then stop using others as an excuse!!!!! Look at your damn lifestyle and level the fuck up honestly.
maybe you should consider the idea that everybody has the freedom to make their own fucking choices. mind your own business. people can eat whatever they want—it is NOT your place to tell anyone what they can or can’t do or what they should or shouldn’t do. worry about yourself and stop trying to dictate other people’s diets.
It is my business when your diet literally affects me and the entire human race… - Animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation.
- Livestock is responsible for 65% of all human-related emissions of nitrous oxide – a greenhouse gas with 296 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide, and which stays in the atmosphere for 150 years. - 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce 1 pound of beef. - 1,000 gallons of water are required to produce 1 gallon of milk. - Livestock or livestock feed occupies 1/3 of the earth’s ice-free land. - Animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, water pollution, and habitat destruction. - 70 billion farmed animals are reared annually worldwide. More than 6 million animals are killed for food every hour -We are currently growing enough food to feed 10 billion people. Worldwide, at least 50% of grain is fed to livestock. X This all being said this is why I made this post. Because everyone can do something with their diet. A little goes a long way for the animals, the planet and the people. This is why vegans make it their business to talk about food and peoples diets because we are well aware not everyone can go vegan but they can damn well do something.
Vegans are very aware that no one is perfect too, everyone has a carbon footprint. But damn could you guys at least try??? This is our earth too and we all have to suffer the consequences of you guys not giving a shit
I love when meat-eaters use the “it’s MY business” or “it’s MY choice” bullshit lone of reasoning because it underscores the point most vegans are trying to make about considering other people/beings before yourself like thanks for helping me out and dismantling your own argument 👌
One of the ‘arguments’ against veganism that really disgust me is “But I love the taste”
And it doesn’t work even work for any other sense.
If somebody said they killed animals because they liked the sight of their blood, the sound of their screams, the smell of their corpse, or the feel of their organs, we’d probably lock them up. But for some reason, liking the taste of their flesh is seen as a perfectly reasonable excuse for inhumane treatment and death.
Produce inflation is lower than expected this year and meat spiked lmao
My girlfriend is annoyed by my veganism. Eating meals together is such an issue for her. We argue a lot and I'm always afraid to say no to eating out because I love to cook at home and make healthy yummy things while she rolls her eyes. Last night she asked what was for dinner and I said " bulgur and chickpea masala" she said " ugh you sound so gay" it was my meal prep for the week anyways. I would like to avoid eating together . I don't want to fight and argue . Any suggestions
This made me say yikes and also made me feel real sad for you. Try and remember that all of what you just said is not normal behavior and sounds like bullying, your s/o is supposed to be your best friend, too. If anything that all sounds like a bro + bro banter. I’m sorry if it’s not what you wanna hear but my personal suggestion would be to find a better girlfriend - one who actually supports the good you’re doing for yourself and others. I can’t get down with people like that so I’m sorry if I sound harsh!! but if these issues are already here now imagine some years down the line. Your happiness and (really fucking amazing) life choices matter and they’ll matter to the right person too.
This sounds like pure unadulterated insecurity in one of its most ugly forms. Also this bitch sounds homophobic as fuck.. I'd replace her shampoo with the chickpea brine from the masala and dump her ass. The other approach would be to open a non confrontational dialogue about why she says the things she says and then try to work around it but again, she sounds like an asshole.
