Veganism

Veganism is the practice of refusing to buy, eat, sell, or consume animal products. Almost always practitioners of veganism do so because they have moral objections to the treatment of animals by humans.

Due to the fact that most cultures are accepting of violence against animals, vegans are very small in number.

• Animals have a consciousness just as people do, it is unfair to subject them to pain for our pleasure.
• Many farms neglect animals, making their last days hell before they kill them. If we have decided that concentration camps are unethical, why is this different?
• Anti-vegans only defend meat because they can't bear to lose foods they grew up eating.

Vegan-curious people are people who believe that consuming animal products is fundamentally unethical, but cannot become vegan for one reason or another. Usually this is due to a lack of commitment or care, but it can also be for logistical reasons. Vegans are generally friendly to vegan-curious people, but anti-vegans deny this.

Anti-veganism is a counter to veganism. Rejection of veganism doesn't make a person an anti-vegan, but opposition to its moral grounding does. Anti-vegans believe that humans are justified in their consumption of animal products. Usually, to discredit vegans, they typecast them as hippies, weirdos, crazy, transhumanist, soft, immature, and obsessive.

• Animals deserve to live less than humans do, because they are not creative.
• Our ancestors ate animals.
• It's not murder if you kill an animal painlessly.
• It's not rape if you inseminate an animal with a needle.
• Vegans are only seeking attention and don't truly care about animals.
• Vegans aren't making any difference.
• Vegetable trucks often run over insects.
• WELL IF THERE WERE NO MEAT THEN WHAT WOULD WE DO WITH ALL THE FARM ANIMALS (yes, people actually say this.)
