• #Veganism : You have two cows but you "have" them like you have a friend — not as property. Their breastmilk is for their children — not for adults with a fetish for nonconsentual interspieces suckling.

I didn't always realize this but "A plant based food system is the biggest way to combat climate change and deforestation" is malthusianism transposed onto human supremacy.

What is the difference between "livestock eat the majority of crops and drink a lot of water" and "There are too many humans the most effective solution to climate change is to have less mouths to feed and less energy demand"

For a while I excused this because I saw depopulation as an unavoidable consequence of market shifts, after all I'm not advocating they be killed its the farmers who would see them as an un-recouped investment and would have them killed

But this is just endorsement with extra steps, there is no way to say that water and land usage are a benefit of a plant based diet without it being human supremacist.

Yes I know I'm inviting the overpopulation antivegan argument but I'm at the point where I'm like "our species has made this ethical bed now we need to lie in it and bear the cost of caring for the population of moral patients we've created"

I recognize that with the way the world is atm the farmers will kill the livestock they don't sell. But I act to prefigure the world I want to create not to compromise with the one that already exists.

I appreciate that not everyone can do physically demanding (or otherwise risky) activism and I didn't mean to imply that you were a liberal but I fear that the human-centric approach has a tendancy to attract liberals because it is quite compatible with a reformist attitude - if all you have to do is make different consumer choices then you don't need to endorse more extreme antispeciesist action. But when we bake the perspective of the victim into the message from the start there is no way to twist it or coopt it because the focus is always on the immediate harm and how those systems can be dismantled rather than how those systems profit or disadvantage humans.

1) a.
I have also helped several people start and settle into veganism and I never shy away from pointing directly at the harm and calling out hypocrisy, self-serving rationalizations, logical fallacies etc. Am I being shitty by being direct? By calling people non-human animal abusers and murderers when those same conversations have led to them becoming committed vegans themselves?

1) b.
I believe that you have had more "success" with convincing people to eat a plant based diet for their own sake, but then why would they stop buying honey or "animal-tested" products or supporting non-human racing or zoos/aquariums or just leather and fur products like just off the top of my head a badger hair shaving brush what is the benefit to the individual to avoid these things

1) c.
You can't combat a poisoned well by toning down your advocacy that's exactly what the flesh propagandists want they want you to quiet down and stop taking extreme actions that might hurt their profits. "Injustice is never abolished by appealing to the sensibilities of the oppressor" At this moment we need more extremists not more liberal vegans and plant based dieters, the movement will continue to grow with or without you based on outreach strategy you have briefly outlined, but the radical flank of veganism is extremely small and can use all the help it can get.

1) d.
Fundamentally veganism is a rights issue the focus should never ever be on how veganism can benefit humans, its ok to talk about it but to center vegan activism entirely around humans is literally de-centering the victim and plays right into speciesist narratives about how humans are the first priority and other animals exist for our benefit, except in this veganified version those animals exist to support the biosphere we live in rather than as a source of materials

2)
see 1) d. , by not presenting the abuse of non-human animals in the foreground it gives implicit license to the abuse by implying that veganism is something that is for humans or even for the benefit of the individual framing veganism as an amoral position or a lifestyle choice. In much the same way that you don't get someone to stop physical abuse to humans by trying to convince them that it would be good for their mental health to be less violent. The problem in both human and non-human cases is either outright supremacism or disinterestedly profiting from others suffering while actively ignoring the harm so they can sleep at night

@mattwebbdev "I'm not going to be shitty to people if they're not vegan" = More concerned with the approval of the oppressors than their victims. What exactly would you consider being shitty: telling someone they should stop killing innocent sentient beings?

"I'm super feminist I don't abuse women in my personal life but if you want to do physical abuse I'm not going to moralize to you about that"

If you're fed up with the excuses and rationalizations and misinformation surrounding human's justifications for using LLMs for convenience pleasure or profit then you know a little bit what its like to be vegan and to see everyone you know justify murder for their own taste pleasure convenience and profit.

And maybe you can understand why many of us are fed up with or outright hate most of you.

Pflanzen haben keine Gefühle, genauso wie Bakterien keine Gefühle haben. Was ist daran so schwer zu verstehen? 🤔 Eine chemische Reaktion ist noch lange kein Gefühlsausdruck. 😅 Aber egal, Hauptsache man tut so, als ob Tiere und Pflanze beide gleich seien und deshalb Veganer*innen genauso schlechte Menschen sind wie Fleischfresser*innen.

Red algae will NOT eliminate livestock as a problem for combating climate change.

The U.N. has a report stating that the livestock industry contributes more to the greenhouse effect than *transportation*.

One reason is methane.

It was hoped that mixing seaweed into livestock feed would cut methane emissions. Earlier studies showed 90% reductions and higher.

However, this latest and longest running study only showed a 28% reduction.

A guaranteed way to reduce methane emissions from the livestock industry is to minimize meat consumption. Eat less meat.

I have been on #mastodon for nearly a month. With that, I have essentially stopped using #twitter. This is my new online forever home. 🤣 I don't like #toxicity in the water I drink, so I certainly don't need it on the web.

It is so good here. And I think I have finally gotten the hang of all the quirks to this place (I will probably make mistakes and blunders with mastodon, so please be patient and forgiving!). 🙏

Initially, I felt voracious, absorbing all the toots and reading every article. But I think I have reached a saturation point with the amount of toots I am seeing. I am following over 500 people now and as much as I want to #GottaCatchEmAll, I simply can't see all the toots! I have removed my local and federated feeds from the #tusky app because I don't have the time to browse them in addition to my home feed, my hashtag feed, and my notification feed (which is in addition of course to my time in the real world).

So to all my #vegan friends, if you posted a clever, funny, insightful, interesting, topical, controversial, or newsworthy toot about #veganism, #AnimalRights, #AnimalWelfare, and/or their connections to #ClimateChange and the #ClimateEmergency, and I don't favourite it, boost it, or comment on it, it probably means I missed it amongst the sea of other toots, and it wasn't #hashtagged.

Please #hashtag your toots like it's 2007! 🙃🥳🤘

Thank you. ☺️

Another excellent video from Humane Hancock about veganism and wild animal suffering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG6TNgFGRck

It is amazing to see those questions discussed widely! We should really stop committing the appeal to nature fallacy when we are the first to (rightly!) criticize it when non-vegans use it to justify animal farming.
