Humans do not follow the cycle of nature. We kill animals enmasse, we displace species from their natural environment, we have an abundance of food that choose not to consume simply because we don’t want to, we destroy and pollute the environment, I could go on.

So it makes no sense to use the laws of nature and compare us to other animals in order to argue that it’s okay to treat our fellow creatures this way.

“But lions eat meat!” Lions aren’t keeping millions of gazelle captive, polluting the environment, and not even using all that they get from the animals they kill.

a suspicious amount of anti-vegans who talk about vegetables being unethical seem to immediately stop caring once the topic switches off veganism. I've never heard one of them talk about the environmental impact of almonds other than as a retort to vegans. And why aren't they outside of wholefoods protesting quinoa? It's almost as if anti-vegans don't actually care about making the world better and only engage with ethics to defend themselves from having to do anything.

I find it very sad that so many kids, when they start expressing compassion for animals and reason that eating their meat/products from their bodies is wrong, are taught by caregivers that kindness is wrong when it inconveniences others and caring so much for other living beings is childish and naive, because trying your best to do less harm will make others feel bad about their actions, and I can't help but feel that's where it starts for a lot of people who then grow up to believe that their pleasure, convenience, comfort and conformity is worth it even if others have to suffer for it.
