You can say it as a joke, but Ive got dairy cows...
Good luck now that you've said that. You're going to be savaged by a certain type of vegan in PM. I was spammed by one this morning and I didn't even mention animal products recently as far as I know.
(There are decent vegans, but then there are the asshole type who feel like they can berate and harass people into veganism.)
I feel a bit bad for the normal vegans actually because they likely want to avoid even mentioning it do to the other type.
I do too. There are plenty of decent vegans who are afraid to even open their mouths and make gentle suggestions.
You have to talk about it when ordering food or buying items.
Oh yeah, getting told that you rape cows
I was once told that I was participating in "bee slavery" by consuming honey.
Because, you know, bees wouldn't make honey unless we enslaved them to do so.
Trade offer: I provide you with housing in exchange for some of your honey
Hell, as a human I'll take that deal. When can I move in?
My partner keeps saying we can't get a beehive, I think a humanhive would be asking for too much.
People furniture their house if you rob them or not. Nature is crazy.
I treat the militant vegans exactly like I treat MAGAs. i.e. I completely ignore them when they start their bullshit.
true enough of many of bullshit. Its like when you have to start writing paragraphs because of the stupidity of the arguments. I had that this morning where someone wanted to bring actions in war as an example of a lack of dignity. Well duh. Name me a dignified war. So I was like. Ok. Yeah not taking this bait.
Try instead asking innocent probing questions that lead them to question their world view. They'll never agree with you if they feel like they're under attack, but if you seem curious and interested, and ask difficult questions they could come around over time.
Or you know, fuck em they made their bed. Either way.
I get where you’re going, but it’s simply not worth my time. Normal people just don’t change their minds easily.
Wait what? What would make a vegan change their worldview? Uhm bacon actually good, ever thought about that?
I actually kind of like it when someone on here goes out of their way to be a dick, because then I can find the users I want to slap user tags on easier.
Squids are carnivores, and you're an anthromorphic squid. I can see why a vegan would be upset.
Its funny. No one criticized me for owning cows. At all. The woodwork was empty. I get that there are militant assholes here, but every time i bring up my profession, things have been cordial.
We can all disagree on a lot of things, but the average vegan is not my enemy. Ive even given some tours of my facilities. Its just someone that thinks different thsn i do. Thats perfectly fine.
Good discourse and an open mind is all it takes. I eat vegan meals frequently. I also eat steaks and eggs and fish. I will never be the one to shut down sincere discourse. We all have to live in this world together. May as well learn from other perspectives.
I'm honestly surprised by that. Those types of vegans give me shit because I do not eat meat but I will have dairy. I am under a dietician's care and she has it as part of my nutritional regimen but it doesn't even matter to them when I tell them that I could literally starve if I don't follow her instructions since that's exactly what was happening before I met with her.
Condolences.
