The fact that there are ZERO indigenous groups on the planet, past or present, who adhere to a vegan diet tells me that veganism is a modern sociopolitical movement based on the first world privileges of industrial agricultural and access to grocery stores. I’ll die on this hill.

I've had vegan friends who agree with this take and say it's still wrong to hurt animals given our easy access to alternatives

That’s a fine position, as long as they’re growing their own veggies and not partaking of industrial ag products like corn, wheat, and soy. Thousands of animals are killed in the planting and harvesting of those products. Many more deaths than the 1 cow I eat each year.

I'll check with them and confirm they're within your guidelines

literally the fact that most native cultures will use every part of the animal - meat, hide, bones - for various uses as well as blessing the animal before & after killing & eating shows that veganismo =/= treating animals with respect/morality

I mean getting blessed in a language you don't understand and having your ass bone used as a hammer isn't really consolation for being murdered imo But idgaf I eat meat

I think you people are making up pretend vegan friends. Present the argument and I will dismantle it.

Isn't the argument pretty straightforward? 1. Animals are living beings capable of suffering. 2. Suffering is bad. 3. We have the means to not exploit or slaughter animals. I think in 100 years meat will be lab produced and slaughtering animals will be morally reprehensible.

Our DNA did not evolve for veganism.
