"There are plant-based alternatives!!!", like cotton that spreads like a quarter of all pesticides used (not to mention the water), killing so many living things and making entire ecosystems inhabitable.
Vegans only care about furry animals with big eyes.
militant vegans refuse to understand that humans and livestock have a symbiotic relationship.
we (humans) provide food, shelter, medical care, and companionship for the animals, and the livestock, in return, provides products we can use, like pelts (wool, leather), meats, milk, eggs, etc.
we have developed these symbiotic relationships on purpose, over literal millennia. every culture in the world has a history of animal agriculture, because we as humans understood that keeping, maintaining and breeding our own herds was more beneficial than hunting wild.
but militant vegans hear myths and lies about sheep being killed for their wool, or dairy calfs being thrown into grinders, and they believe it. because they can't comprehend that you can, in fact, love and respect the animal providing you with clothing and food.
they want to yell and scream and cry about livestock dying, without comprehending that without humans, they would be dying faster, in pain, and without a shred of kindness in the wild.
I have no patience at all for militant vegans. (the chill vegans who understand symbiosis and respect it, even if they personally won't eat or use animal products, those folks are fine)
ETA: (Feb 12) of course, I've just had to block a vegan for being unable to understand a simple boundary, so let me be clear: the "anti vegan" tags on this post are not a fucking invitation. if you're incapable of minding your own business, I will make sure that you won't be minding mine from here on out.
