Welcome
Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.
What is Veganism?
'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'
— abridged definition from The Vegan Society
Rules
The rules are subject to change, especially upon community feedback.
- Discrimination is not tolerated. This includes speciesism.
- Topics not relating to veganism are subject to removal.
- Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:
- embedded images of text require alt-text
- posts with an image of text should have a transcription in the body or alt-text
- paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link;
- use the original source whenever possible for a news article.
- Content warnings are required for triggering content.
- Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future.
- before jumping into the community, we encourage you to read examples of common fallacies here.
- if you're asking questions about veganism, be mindful that the person on the other end is trying to be helpful by answering you and treat them with at least as much respect as they give you.
- Posts and comments whose contents – text, images, etc. – are largely created by a generative AI model are subject to removal. We want you to be a part of the vegan community, not a multi-head attention layer running on a server farm.
- Posts linking to Twitter/X or any similar site will be removed.
- No brigading, either off-site or on-site. An incitement to brigade includes two elements: a call to disruptive action and a specific direction outside of this community in which to take that action. Exceptions include:
- Calls to boycott.
- Calls to in-person protest of a government, high-profile individual, or company/organization.
- Votes provided they have a sufficiently broad target audience or provably effective controls against vote brigading.

Animal agriculture is fucked, mass atrocities like this are just part of doing business.
Absolutely disgusting
Well, I cannot go more vegan than I already am so I guess it's someone else's turn now.
Does this mean that my local bus company is trying to kill me?
If you are in one of the countries in Europe that is in the middle of this heatwave, they are at least not bothered by the possibility.
Also, liable. Someone might want to sue.
My girlfriend took notice of the 43°C in the thermometer this weekend.
That kind of heat in a bus ride with no Air-conditioning is going to get someone killed. Not to mention that everyone will suffer regardless and inevitably so.
This is one of the things that defeats me as someone who has been advocating for animal rights for almost twenty years now. How can I assemble some form of hope to establish non-human animal rights when the human rights are so clearly neglected and in some places even revoked these days?
I can't see the end of exploitation of non-human animals in sight when humans are so uncaring for one another and even willing to hurt each other.
I'm still revolted by many things such as the ones in this post, but I haven't been shocked by anything in a long time.
Last summer it was common practice to turn on the heating on the bus, to help cool the engine, they even did it when it was so hot it became a national emergency, and it was mandatory to turn on the ac everywhere in the country. They do this because they don't want the bus to die on the middle of the road. I even burned my leg once, it was so hot. The best thing about these buses is the backstory. The city got EU funding to replace all of it's buses, and instead of the brand new mercedes buses that everyone else got, we got some decaying volvos from a literal dutch junkjard, and the guy ran away with the money. Also, suing won't do much here, at this point our only option is to replace the government
Turning on the heating during an heat wave??? What??? Did they throw some hot rocks and water on the floor of that bus and called it a "sauna on wheels service" while they were at it???
Also wow. And I thought that corruption here where I live in Portugal was bad. We do rank amongst the highest on corruption in the EU. And I bet these awful people take pride amongst themselves when looking at that ranking. May I ask what country is this going on? You don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable doing so.
Did they throw some hot rocks and water on the floor of that bus and called it a "sauna on wheels service" while they were at it???
No, this is not a luxury service, and also, it would bring out the hobo piss and shit aroma, which is not a popular smell amongst the paying type of customer. Also, please use plurals when talking about these buses, around 10 years have happened since that, but it's still around half of their fleet of buses.
May I ask what country is this going on?
It's hungary. You can't really beat us in corruption, we're proudly number one of the eu. Last time we had a vote about ukraine, and it's eu membership, and we got the letter to vote with another letter in the same envelope, telling us why to vote no. This vote required no id, and it was also available online, basically anybody could vote as many times as they wanted, because there was no verification. The party that's running the country currently has this thing called the „fight club”, like the movie fight club, where they „want to increase their presence online” and whatnot, they're mostly just telling elderly people to harass people online. We still don't know if anybody from there has actually seen the movie or not, and we also don't know if it's more terrifying if they have seen it, or if they didn't
If you are concerned about the vehicle overheating, turning on the heat will help with that. Not so great for the people.
