Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL
There are some very militant vegans out here on Lemmy, equating eating meat with rape and murder and generally being annoying without actually contributing to the discussions.
They are actively harming their cause. So much so, I suspect them of actually being trolls trying to make vegans look bad.
Or they are just dumb as a brick and don’t understand common discourse. That’s possible too.
Well if you support the rape and murder of animals (both common in animal agriculture) don’t be surprised when people get upset
While eating meat is neither murder nor rape, for meat to be produced, exactly that needs to happen.
Or how would you call it?
Animals are born and die, it is the natural circle of life.
You can blame the meat industry for horrific practices to satiate the market with cheap meat.
But it is definitely possible to have ethical meat consumption that doesn’t involve murdering or raping the animals.
How?
