That Scary Vegan Agenda

Animals are subjects, not objects.

Suffering should be prevented or minimised whenever possible.

If we can avoid exploiting or killing others then we should.

Sentient beings have the right to life and bodily autonomy.

We don’t have the right to anyone else’s life, body or freedom.

brashwhispers

There is no argument you’ll ever be able to make that would successfully justify brutalizing and murdering sentient beings for your own gain.

And before you start, stop. I’ve heard it all before. None of it excuses this. Don’t be complicit.

“Vegans don’t care about people who pick crops!”

—

Said the carnist who probably

doesn’t give a shit about the lives of slaughterhouse workers: how they are usually on shitty contracts, are usually poor and people of color (PoC), how they don’t have basic working rights, and how often times they are undocumented.

doesn’t give a shit about how big, rich, Western, white countries go into other countries: usually (again) poor, underprivileged, native areas that are (again) usually inhabited by PoC. This takes land away from the people in that region or country and gives it to a) the livestock and/or b) the crops raised for that livestock.

doesn’t give a shit about the fact that animal product consumption is causing deforestation: there are undiscovered plants and other things in these areas that could help with medicine, not to mention that rain forests and other land contributes to 20% or so of the Earth’s oxygen. This effects not only non-human animals, but human animals as well.

doesn’t give a shit about the people back in their homes: in rich, white countries like the United States who live next to these factory farms. How their water quality is shit, the air quality is shit, the soil turns to shit and how they have higher rates of ailments that don’t effect people who don’t live near factory farms. This also leads to the areas being more poverty stricken.

doesn’t realize that they too (unless they fancy themselves to only live on meat, dairy, milk, honey and other animal products) eat the same exact fruits, vegetables and other plant-based foods that those same farm workers pick for a plant-based diet.

Author’s note here.

late-stage-carnism

This is a reminder that even your “free range, cage free, well taken care of” animals are slaughtered in the same horrible slaughterhouses that abuse workers.

Almost everybody I’ve interracted with on some level: Veganism is wrong because it’s exclusive and disabled, neurodiverse and mentally ill people can’t be vegan

Disabled and neuro-diverse anti-vegans: Vegans are all inherently ableist I personally can’t be 100% vegan and neither can my friend because of a rare hereditary condition so therefore nobody should be

Me and literally the entire disabled vegan community: Honestly we’re getting pretty sick of people acting as if we’re less disabled because we’re vegan it’s actually really ableist and shitty to erase us because it reeks of the ‘autistic people can’t feel empathy’ myth which is really harmful to us can people please stop pretending that disabled people can’t be vegan because there are so many of us out there that are trying to tell you that we exist

Y'all demons: omg lol shut the fuck up Brenda not every disabled autistic person is you stop assuming that your circumstances are the same as everybody else’s

‘PETA euthanizes healthy animals!!!’

Yeah and that’s bad but did you know that pretty much all animal shelters euthanize healthy animals? To save money and space? It’s a common practice. Don’t single out PETA as the lone villain here.

acti-veg

People want to attack PETA for this then simultaneously rage when anyone even suggests that they should stop breeding and buying animals. If you object to kill shelters so passionately, adopt the pets who end up there rather than buying from a breeder.

“73% of African Americans are lactose intolerant. 95% of Asians, roughly 70% of Native Americans and about 53% of Hispanic Americans are lactose intolerant. Our government is encouraging Americans of color to eat foods (see: dairy) that it KNOWS is going to make them ill. Ultimately, what that boils down to is the government is telling me, as an African American, to eat food that’s going to make me ill for no health benefit so that will benefit dairy farmers. That’s a form of institutionalized racism.”

If you read about how insidious the dairy industry is it’s fucking crazy. The whole “got milk” campaign, getting it into school lunches, the myth of it being healthy, the myth that it’s the best source of calcium etc was all started by them and lobbying in congress.

Any articles or videos that you'd recommend for going vegan? I currently eat meat but very little and lean. I'm very serious about it and I just want to make sure I'm successful at it
