@BigBrotherXtra @ElProfessor878 Your life revolves around that damn show and that’s your takeaway???

[Hector @hieniscool]

@UNITE2DEFEND Given the conditions we raise them in with all these animals living in their own feces being pumped with antibiotics, is it really that surprising??

[Hector @hieniscool]

So the goal of veganism isn’t the ideal but probably impossible end of animal suffering but the minimization of it.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@offgridPorter To answer your question, most ethical vegans follow the definition laid out by the vegan society, which is basically to avoid exploiting animals as far as is possible and practicable. This considers those small animals you mentioned.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@LaurenInTheWild I don’t see your point? Veganism is based on necessity. If you can’t sustain yourself on a plant-based diet because of lack of resources, then that is totally reasonable according to veganism. However, that isn’t an excuse if you do have the resources because there is a victim.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@tipota123 @molesuk For one, sanctuaries exists, so they wouldn’t go extinct, but also there isn’t anything inherently wrong or bad about an animal species going extinct; in fact, it happens all the time.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@deane_ag @minimax_eth @vintagevegans They would and do still exist in sanctuaries, as pets, etc. Plus, if you’re perpetuating the suffering of animals for the sake of their existence, you’re very likely doing that for you and not them.

@_allhailseitan @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz I don’t think boycotting is an effective option, especially given how little of us there are.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz But also I still don’t see how that’s collectively wrong?

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz Honestly, I thought most plant based people were vegans who didn’t want to stereotypes associated with vegans. That or just dietary vegan.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @ravensherbert @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz It doesn’t cause any additional harm to animals, so it’s ethically vegan.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz I do because that does no harm to animals. I thought plant based meant only plant derived, mb.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @ravensherbert @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz And I’m promoting vegan options by supporting options like beyond kfc, that’s also part of it.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz No, I’m showing support for their plant based products. That doesn’t encourage them to torture more chickens.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz I didn’t say I was in a transitioning phase nor am I.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @veganphotoalbum @JoanneShacz If it’s any better, now I’ll say it depends on what definition of veganism you follow.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @JoanneShacz @veganphotoalbum Yea I was really surprised when I saw it.

[Hector @hieniscool]

@_allhailseitan @JoanneShacz @veganphotoalbum Like I said, I have my issues with peta, but we shouldn’t commit an ad hominem and disregard their argument completely. The animals don’t care where plant based options were cooked (unless it’s like lard or something).
