How do you figure?

no fewer animals are killed than before you became vegan.

If everyone went vegan, do you think the number of animals killed would stay the same? This is like a blend of "voting doesn't matter" and "abolitionists have no effect since the slave population has grown every year."

abolitionists free slaves. where are the animals you've saved?

So since not everyone is vegan, everyone going vegan wouldn't have an effect? Do you also not advocate for any changes whatsoever to our government/culture?

I really think your cognitive dissonance over needlessly killing animals is popping up. No judgement from me, I wasn't always vegan either so I know how you feel. If you or anyone else reading honestly have any questions or want any tips feel free to message me.

what i said was true, and you are the one trying to rationalize it. one of us is dealing with cognitive dissonance, but it's not me.
