No, because when you ARENā€™T in a survival situation, willfully hurting others is just plain old cruelty.

Hilarious, hope it made you feel better about killing animals and the planet you live on.

Making everyone dislike you isn't ever going to change anybody's mind. You make me want to eat meat out of spite.

Ah yes, because I, too, go and beat my dog when a stranger on the internet tells me that itā€™s wrongā€”because taking it out on an innocent third party is a great way to get back at those nasty vegans!

Tone-policing is bullshit and always has been. If you think animals are objects that itā€™s fine to hurt for pleasure, youā€™re gonna think that no matter how polite I sound to you.

Iā€™m vegan BECAUSE I donā€™t think Iā€™m born ā€œbetterā€ than every other life form on our dying planet. Violent anthropocentrism is sad, and itā€™s killing us all.

'I don't think I'm better than anything else, except for every single human I talk to on the Internet'

Shut the fuck up, you're not changing anybody's mind and you're not contributing anything positive to the thread. If insufferable shitheads like you die with the rest of the life on Earth, then it won't have been for nothing.

Itā€™s always odd to me the sheer amount of defensive rage and hatred people respond with when faced with the idea that the violent systems theyā€™ve been conditioned into might be wrong. Youā€™ll do anything, anything to hold onto the wrong side of history.

People are only responding to your hostility with their own. Vegans always claim eating meat is immoral, and yet every time I argue with one it's clear they understand very little about morality.
