Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

Bored Panda what is wrong with you? Why would you incite hatred towards people who are just trying to be the best they can - which is the only thing we vegans are trying to do. How is that a bad thing?

Thanks for that, at last someone using logic!

I feel like you didn't read a thing I just said, but I'll take your comment as is. Have a beautiful day.

Most stupid responses I ever read: Do you know how much land they chop down just to breed and slaughter animals? 65 billion animals every year. You can also multiplay this number by 14 since animals needs 14 times more food than humans. Stop coming up with excuses for your tastebuds. They can all be easily debunked in sqeconds.

Because it's not possible to live 100% cruelty free, people shouldn't waist their time doing the right thing. This argument can apply to everything humans do, and is completely absurd when applied to basically anything. That is why it is a fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

I agree! This "argument" against veganism is idiotic. No vegan ever said he/she lives a 100% cruelty free life. They are making a small, personal choice to eat more healthfully and humanely. And this offends people. What a stupid world, indeed!

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

I wonder this, too! And this post isn't even a halfway intelligent argument against veganism; it is cherry-picking random and unproven ideas. Rabbits have to be gas-bombed to grow crops? Quinoa supplies are depleted because of ... vegans? Um, no.

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

I'm not a vegan, but this is the most idiotic argument I've seen against veganism. That's like someone saying: "No one should be racist!" And someone else arguing: "It's impossible to eradicate racism because there's no such thing as a cruelty free world and some cultures and religions support systematic racism and here are some cherry-picked examples in which bigotry has benefitted certain cultures!" Solving problems (such as saving the planet and animals) is difficult, but arguing against people trying to help solve the problem is just counterproductive.

I upvoted. I'm a vegetarian too, since I was 6 years old. I'm now 27. I do it for animal rights as well as health reasons. Animals are disgustingly mistreated and I just could not eat a steak without feeling terrible about where it came from. Meat also has been proven to clog your intestines and arteries, and cause heart disease and heart attacks. That's why the so-called most fit people in the world can drop over dead from a heart attack. It's considered such a mystery as to why. Not a mystery to me.

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

Oh my god this is so incredibly stupid. Of course veganism isn't 100% cruely free, we all know. But it's a whole lot less cruel than partaking in the killing of 150+ billion animals each year. Or does vegan food kill 150 billion workers each year? How fantastically stupid many people are never ceases to amaze and depress me.

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

My thought exactly!

I'm really confused as to why this Bored Panda shares so much anti-vegan propaganda. I love the animal pics, the heart warming stories, the funny anecdotes, and the awesome art, but why this???

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

I'm a little disappointed in this article. Veganism does not equate to 100% cruelty free, nor does it stand for being perfect. Before I get any further into this, I think it needs to be addressed that me being vegan doesn't make me better than anybody else, and stating that I am vegan is not a personal attack towards someome that isn't. That being said, this whole idea of "there will never be a cruelty free way to live so might as well not eat vegan" is ridiculous and albeit lazy. Not every vegan you meet is a quinoa, whole foods loving, preachy vegan (that is only in it for the aesthetic). That is a gross stereotype and is only a small percent, so please don't brush off real issues. The mest and dairy industries are the number one source of greenhouse gases, the number one motive behind deforestation. All the grain we are producing to breed (inseminate) more livestock to keep the cattle alive could feed most of the world. To reiterate, I said meat and dairy industries, not small farms which is a different argument. Veganism = doing the best you can to protect not only fellow inhabitants of the earth but our earth itself. It is not a fairytale ideology. People are self destructive creatures and it's important to weigh out the pros and cons of all the choices available to you.

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

This article does not address that non-vegans are eating from the same crops as vegans! It makes it sound like vegans are contributing more to human cruelty that non-vegans, which is not true. Veganism is a fight against animal cruelty- human cruelty is a separate issue that needs to be adressed by all people. Vegans have little to no bearing on it. The foods people labor to make are bought by vegans and non-vegans alike.

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

Let's not forget how much of food is wasted every day, every year. Plus consumption of meat is getting crazy, my grandparents ate meat once per week, my parents grew up having meat few time per week, now people in my country having meat everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

Veganism is a step in the right direction. That doesn't mean the direction is paved with gold. Eating quinoa is not fundamentally endorsing child labor - the fact that child labor is used has nothing to do with the environmental impact of the diet itself, it's a separate injustice to correct. However, eating meat fundamentally requires more land and resource to produce, and fundamentally produces more waste (methane, most of all), however there could just as well be children working the farms, particularly in Brazil's notorious meat industry which is taking down the rainforest faster than any paper mill. If you want 100% in control of the cruelty in your diet, have your own farm where you grow all of your food your own way. If you're going to be a vegan, it just means you have a LOT less work to do on the farm, and a LOT less space needed for it.

Ok now, let´s get to HOW to cook spaghetti without breaking it in half (as taught by my Italian ex mother in law): put the whole spaghetti in boiling water, then gently push them inside with a wooden spoon as they begin to soften until they are entirely immersed. Then put the lid on the pot until the boiling wáter rises and boils over. Only then take the lid off and stir a bit, always with your wooden spoon. Keep boiling (turn down the fire a bit but keep boiling) and wait until it´s al dente.

Mom Gets Shocked After Seeing Her 6-Year-Old Daughter's Sexist Homework, Rewrites It And Goes Viral

Agree and it´s so sad that parents are mixing ideology with upbringing... instead of empathizing with a little girls sadness, because she obviously misses her mom, this lady defended her own ideology, thus missing the chance to really get to know how children feel. Also, it´s perfectly natural for a mom to miss her kids as well when she goes back to work, just saying...
