Yes, it's perfectly ok to kill a cow for fashion/diet needs. Humans are part of nature. For a lion to live, the zebra must diet. We're not different. Whether you choose to eat them or not, animals are going to die so you may live. Whether you choose to eat them or not, animals are going to die so you may live. The researchers tell us over a billion small animals die in the fields during the planting and harvesting of the grains and veggies that make up the vegen diet. They're run over by big farm equipment, their burrows/nests are destroyed, killed by pesticides or when the crop is harvested killed by predators. And that billion dead doesn't even consider the millions deliberately poisoned to keep them out of the big grain storage elevators where wheat and other grains are kept until we need them for bread and cereals. Why is it ok to kill a field mouse for the veg*n diet, but wrong to kill a cow for my diet/fashion needs?! |
Yes, I know what I'm talking about.
No it's not "perfectly ok", it's selfish and unnecessary. Yes they are but we have the ability to do good things and help animals rather than butchering them. Yes we're not different... except for that fact that lions are carnivores and need meat in their diet or they will literally die whereas humans can live perfectly happy and functioning lives without meat. Not different alt all  . I'm aware of that, the society we live in is geared towards the exploitation of animal to suit human wants and needs. Obviously I disagree with the killing of small animals in the fields too but being vegan isn't claiming to have never done anything wrong to animals, it's about recognising the issues that are present and trying to minmise them and raise awareness about them so that in the future hopefully important changes will come about. Also where did you get this billion figure from? And just to let you know I don't eat wheat nor bread but I still get your point. It's not okay either and needs to be addressed but there are ways to try and reduce it like getting produce more locally and from smaller-scale farms. Also they aren't killed just for vegan diets like cattle are killed just for meat-eaters, it's more of a negative by-product of the farming industry which of course needs to be addressed. There are also plenty of meat-eaters around the globe who also eat grains. In fact the number of meat-eaters that eat grains will obviously be much higher than veg*ns since there are literally billions more of them. So the animals are purely killed so that just vegans can put them on their plate and satiate their taste buds or wear them as a fashion accessory.

I don't support those either so what exactly is your point? No I don't look stupid, I think you clearly missed the part where I said I was vegan obviously don't eat meat or wear leather etc.
