IRL, whenever I deem it fit to talk about veganism - its perks vs omni diet, environmental impact, etc. - I get a little tense but usually follow through to voice my opinions and challenge other people’s views. I feel good about it because it’s only to the benefit of animals if even a little seed of doubt is seeded into omni minds.
On Lemmy, I feel like there are a lot of vegans around but omnis are more prevalent. I realise that I might be “picking fights” in that I bring up veganism when the subject does not exactly “demand it”, if that makes sense, but I feel like it’s such a huge injustice for animals that being a little uncomfortable for the sake of animals is nothing, really.
In text, I can formulate my thoughts and make better arguments, I feel like, but so do most people on here, so I back off rather quickly. In the end, I wonder if it’s even worth mentioning at all?
Do you guys do that on here? I just can’t not say something. Maybe it’s just wasted breath and key strokes, though. I don’t know. Ty
I get so god damn sick of seeing “new, entirely preventable, zoonotic plague is getting close to human transmission” articles that, yeah, I can’t help but say something.
Fucking carnists will act surprised and upset every time something like COVID-19 happens, without it even once occurring to them that confining biological vessels into small, inhumane conditions might have dire consequences for human animals too. Now we have a new entirely preventable plague about to start spreading in the US 🤷
It is not natural or sanitary to keep a large amount of animals confined in a small area yet carnists keep doubling down on doing that.
