Good friend for 5 years or so. He turned into an alt-right fanatic and kept trying to make me upset by spouting “ideas” he knew not only I didn’t agree with, by would actually emotionally upset me (e.g. All street animals should be sacrificed without mercy, all immigrants should be returned to their original county, etc). He pulled this shit at my birthday also, ruinning the night not only for me but everyone present. That was the last time I saw him.
Another friend of over 10 years. He met a guy with a very strong personality and started copying everything the other guy did. Started dressing like him, having the same ideas, etc. I didn’t play along, so everything about my suddenly became the object of criticism as well. Never talked to him again.
It’s not an either-or. It’s both. He also made fun of my veganism and made a point of enjoying eating dead, tortured animals, while making fun of me for caring.
So what’s your point then?I shouldn’t worry about abandoned animals living in the street because that is taking away resources I could be directing into animals that suffer in farms/farming industry? All animals that suffer should be object of concern for anyone interested in animal well-being.

I’ve lost one to the far right. Years ago. I’ll always be mad about it, but I’m trying to heal.

Don’t spend too much time worrying about a few street animals, or there won’t be enough time to worry about the billions of farmed animals.

Sorry, I was just being rhetorical. You encounter people accidentally expressing vegan values much more often than actual vegans.
Ah OK, I get it.
