Oh please...

first of all, not everyone can afford to be vegetarian/vegan. You need to recognise your classism here b/c it is blatantly obvious, not to mention some people can't for health reasons so score one on the ableism table!@!!11! Secondly, you really think you're so removed from all animal cruelty? You know your laptop probably has glue made from horses and shit right?

This trendy sort of activism is so grotesque for me to watch unfolding, as if vegetarianism bought you into heaven, good god, do you apply the same reasoning to human beings and do you actively participate in reduction of torture/trafficking of human beings?

What really is awful is that people care more about farm animals than people being butchered or starving or killing themselves

puh lease

Firstly, no one ever said that you should be a vegetarian or a vegan if you have underlying health issues that require you to eat meat (which I have never heard of). And if you can't afford it then you can't afford it, but being a vegetarian has certainly been easier on my wallet. Every single meat substitute I've come across is cheaper than meat, unless you're talking about those dollar burgers from mcdonalds or something. If you're talking about having enough time to cook then it's about time management.

Secondly, no one ever claimed to be completely removed from animal cruelty. I said I was trying. Two very different statements. And yes, I do have products that were made from animals, but is it bad for me to try not to buy animal products?

Thirdly, no one ever said that they were better than anyone else. And no, I don't actively participate in the reduction of human torture/trafficking, but I also don't actively participate in aiding human torture/trafficking. If I had a realistic means to reduce human torture/trafficking I would, just like how I have a realistic means to reduce animal torture and do.

And no one said any of these things either. But it is good to know that you don't care about animals and think that what we're talking about is "grotesque".

~~Sansa Stark~~ · 07-14-2013, 05:20 PM

I've been a vegetarian since I was 5 years old, and I'm on the board of staff for an animal rescue & have been working with shelter animals for years. Clearly my activism pales in comparison to yours!

It is grotesque that you can say

PPPS. If you don't separate yourself from the equation you are actively supporting this kind of torture.

But you don't separate yourself from the torture and exploitation of human beings? lol u sure bout that doe? so everything you buy, everything you eat, is totally cruelty free then? How about your soy ****, you grow that yourself? Eat quinoa? But do people not matter so much as your precious livestock?

Educate yourself for real, stop this ****

Yes, that is EXACTLY what I said. I definitely said that animals are more important than people and that I take no part in cruelty of any kind!

You are a master at telling us what we really mean. You should just start posting for us.

I just think it's funny that your first post addressed about 40% of what we were talking about and 60% of what you assumed we were talking about. Maybe you should read more than just the title of the thread before you respond.

~~Sansa Stark~~ · 07-14-2013, 05:42 PM

If I'd read just the title I would have posted about aliens

but it's really obnoxious to hear this kind of ****, I mean what's the point of this thread if not to shame people about not being vegetarian/vegan? To make them "aware" of the slaughter of animals? Um I think it's pretty common knowledge?
