Someone asked about feeding their dog, a feculative carnivore, a vegan diet. The response was overwhelmingly, “Don’t, it’s animal abuse”. In fact, that was my exact response. I posted links to several articles explaining that it’s very difficult to feed a feculative carnivore, like a dog, a balanced diet feeding them only vegan.
They didn’t like the word, “force” as in, “forcing a dog to eat vegan.” When I asked how not giving the dog a choice was not forcing their false moreal supperiority on an animal without other options I didn’t get an answer. I also suggested giving the dog a choice between meat and kibble or even a feculative carnivore kibble versus a vegan kibble so they weren’t forcing the dog to eat vegan. That wasn’t popular either.
So…I’m banned from c/vegan. My life will be richer for it.
EDIT: Some of this conversation happened with individuals after the mods hermetically sealed the echo bunker by removing all non-fawningly supportive replies and banning everyone who didn’t fawn positively.

That’s a very good take on the situation. The extremists are a small part of the vegan community but they poison people’s perceptions of vegans with their actions.
It reminds me of the meme that goes something like this:
First person: My religion says I should’t do that.
Second person: Cool.
First person: My religion sayd that YOU shouldn’t do that.
Second person: Fuck you.
I don’t care what other people eat (unless it’s delicious and they want to share.)
