About us

"Veganism is a way of living that is just awesome, plus we totally get enough protein! Also, we totally get enough oral sex. Probably more than you, to be honest. Not bragging, just stating facts." - The Vegan Society


"They asked me to be careful and I was confused as to why, my b12 count has never been higher!" - John


"Dominion is horror filmmaking at its absolute finest." - IMDB"

Rules

  1. No meatflakes or meatflake Apologists

Absolutely under no circumstances are meatflakes allowed to freely participate in this community. Meatflakes/Carnists includes all persons who are not ethical vegans. We do not condone carnist coddling and hand-holding of any sort. This includes no advocating for animal deaths. The right to an animals life is non-negotiable. No advocating in favor of animal testing, death, or mass euthanasia.

  1. No Non-Leftists, Health and/or Environmental "Vegans"

Veganism is a leftist social justice movement for animal liberation. It is not a diet for your health and it is not for the human environment. This also, obviously, means No slurs/bigotry, Why would you even want to?

  1. No support of PBC

We do not condone or advocate for plant based capitalism. We will never support animal agriculture companies, or any business that exists to extract profit from vegans while funding animal exploitation. We are frustrated these businesses have infiltrated every vegan space and being represented online by ads for TVP and first world convenience food. We're not here to make food aisles bigger, this is about animal liberation. We have all had this convo already which leads us to rule 5

  1. No Debates/Serious Discussion

This is a community for memes for vegans and by vegans. There are lots of other places where you can have your debates.

  1. No Hero Worship, Influencers or Marketing

This is a community to jerk about veganism, not a place to promote your ego, new products, or embarrass yourself worshiping a YouTuber. If it is going to a good veganism related cause then message us and it will be approved at our discretion.

  1. No Meta Posting

Meta posting is usually very boring and not fit for a meme subreddit. I wish I could extend this to all the other vegan subreddits. If you really need to post meta about something with circlejerk in the name get a grip and delete your account

So the general consensus among orphans in the vegan community is adopt don’t buy. Feed orphans well and don’t keep them in kennels all day. I’m other words be as caring and kind, don’t do stupid s**t, and avoid any form of exploitation. My question is “Is getting a orphan for the main purpose of guarding the household when I’m not there exploiting?” The definition of exploit says is to fully use or derive use from. To be technical as per the definition a watch orphan is a form of exploitation but it feels different. What y’all think? Are guard orphans okay? Is it only certain circumstances?

You're totally fine. You might pick them up when they're young and tender, though. I'm an orphan, but in my 40s and not on the market for working anymore. Back in the day, when I was young and spry, I could guard the house all day. Got three squares. Breakfeast: vegan product spread on vegan toast, with a coffee that tasted like garbage. Lunch: Tempe sandwich I could eat by holding my nose like I was trying to suffocate myself. Dinner: salad sprinkled with brewers yeast that I threw up in the back yard discreetly. I had to do this job on top of my real job to make ends meet, I was a college professor working in the humanities. I could only afford the vegan diet by being a guard orphan for the rich vegans. Good thing I could prove I was a real orphan with actual dead parents. Some vegan guard orphans get rejected because their parents just sold them into the foster care system, being how they were born vegan and expensive. They're not really orphans, you see. They're just expensive and vegan. To really make it to the top of society, you need to be an orphan at some point, expensive, and vegan.

I don't know what the problem is? Child labour is generally eco-friendly and has a long tradition and in some places it's just normal. Not everyone can afford to pay for services or install fancy alarm systems. We have a symbiotic relationship with orphans and putting them to work for us strengthens our unbreakable bond. Not to mention that using children for labour can help preserve certain breeds that have been traditionally bred for work purposes. In some cases, if these orphans are not utilized, there may be a risk of their extinction.

Okay we are on same page I will be getting a larger orphan. Most larger orphans are inclined to protect their “family”. That being said I would t put my orphan in a situation where it has to defend me that irresponsible. However it’s no secret that this world is crazy. I live in Texas, I’ve gotten threats for simply being vegan. I’ll also say I’m not home always I have a job, I do martial arts. The sole purpose of MINE wouldn’t be a protection orphan but it is a small factor. I was a bit more curios to see how vegan community would feel about guard orphans.
