Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from [email protected] for being fake vegans.

From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.

PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don’t want to insult anyone here being a ‘bastard’. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

    Most cows on the planet are currently living in factory farms as cattle a few months away from being slaughtered.

    veterinary care

    Not in factory farms. Preventative antibiotics are not veterinary care.

    protection from the elements

    Limited protection. In summer extreme heat from being stuck inside without air conditioning.

    space to graze

    Not inside factory farms.

    opportunities to socialize

    Not inside factory farms.

      most dairies, even large scale dairies, have pasture. beef cattle are raised 12 to 14 months grazing before going to a feedlot. so where are all these life-long confined cattle?

      so you see they do get protection from the elements

      it seems like you think cattle spend their entire lives in a cafo. they don’t.

      they are, and that’s not all the care they get

        Good lord you argue in bad faith. One line replies of basically “no”, “doubt it”, “citation needed”.

        Like, come on man. How insufferable.

          a full 1/4 of all cattle never spend more than 45 days in a cafo, but even those that do don’t necessarily have the conditions you are describing, nor do they live there their entire lives
