An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If a dog was sleeping in the driveway behind your car and you were running late for work, would you take the extra time and effort to make sure they get out of the way, or just run them over?
If not funding the worst atrocities against animals means I need to pay a little extra attention to my diet (something most omnivores should be doing as well), that's a perfectly fine tradeoff to me.
That's a pretty wild interpretation of what I said lol.
The person I replied to was making a case for eating meat out of convenience, and I used an analogy to show that people generally wouldn't put their convenience over an animal's welfare.
People hate vegans because vegans are proof that you don't need to support industries that profit off of harming animals.
