Same was said about whites against abolishing slavery.

Cows can live up to 20 years but the average age at slaughter for cows killed for their flesh is about 1.5 years.
What's extreme about not paying people to send animals to gas chambers or chop their heads off? Seems like consuming animals is more extreme than being vegan.
If my religion is not paying people to chop baby animals heads off then I'm glad I'm religious and not another pos carnist.
I think your first point is an appeal to futility argument. It's also a good reason to be vegan as crop production to feed animals requires more labor, more injuries. In fact, slaughterhouses are some of the most dangerous places to work. Back to the victims though, there's no respectful way to kill someone who does not want to die - be it a deer or a human. It was part of white culture to wipe out indigenous people and own slaves and there were many whites in the civil war who died trying to protect the institution of slavery which was a part of their culture. Oat milk is based, I encourage you to go vegan.
The dairy industry kills cows, the egg industry grinds up baby male chicks alive.
Do you understand that poem was written by a vegan who lived over a thousand years ago?
That refutes your claim veganism is a modern moral stance since it's been practiced over a thousand years. There were practicing vegans in major world religions even before then.
I do know I'm a modern human. If you're implying that because I'm a modern vegan, veganism is a modern moral philosophy, that's like saying a Model T Ford is a modern vehicle if someone today drives one around.
There's no greater privilege than thinking you're so important as a human, a sentient beings whole existence is worth less than 15 minutes of your taste pleasure. That's actual privilege, most vegan staples (lentils, tofu, chickpeas) are cheaper and have more protein than animal products.
Do you think gassing animals to death and cutting their heads off is abusive? If so, by your own definition, you're are an animal abuser if you're not vegan. And if you don't think gassing animals to death and cutting their heads off is abusive, that's some pretty serious mental gymnastics.
I don't have to win you over. Either you'll understand not being vegan is abusive to animals or not. I don't buy your gaslighting that you going vegan is dependent on you liking me or not.
I was not implying the person is a rpist. I was using rpists as an example of why getting sensory pleasure from an act doesn't make it morally right.
If a person isn't vegan, it's not what they eat, but who. Some people don't give a fuck about other people being racist, not caring about shit is the norm.
