You say your a realist. But when people say "the worlds not going to turn vegan- we need to do what we can" because many people have said, if we can eliminate as much meat consumption as possible, that's realistic- or try get people to buy from farms, free range and what not. You say there's no point, but that is realistic. Your realistic when you want to be, but when it comes to ACTUALLY being realistic- because the world wont turn vegan, the world wont turn cruelty free.. Any success is good, and tiny little victory should be applauded. Because you seem to think your realistic, but your goals are not.
And vegetarians may go back to eating meat. But ive known so many vegans who havnt stuck to it- because it's to hard. And they then went vegetarian because vegan was to difficult for them. I know vegan isn't difficult, but it's not only vegetarians who dont stick to it- some people just arnt as committed as others. I think someone not eating meat for even a day is better than if they were too.
It's not that we non vegans/vegetarians don't 'get it', it's just that we don't agree with it.. Period. I ask you one question. If you were starving and I mean really starving and you were offered a piece of meat would you eat it and likewise if you were perishing from cold and someone offered you a woollen jumper would you wear it ? Ok so that is two questions but they are both yes or no ones so easy to answer...

Your question is totally irrelevant. We're talking about fashion, not freezing and starving. People have options when it comes to fashion to not buy fur, wool, silk etc.. It's not at all a thing about starving, or freezing. .Because these items actually cost a fair amount.. And you may get it, but I know for a fact- when i ate meat and didn't understand, when i was shown- i was shocked. So it may be you that gets it, but you dont agree.. But many many others, dont get it- they havnt been educated. So please dont assume that every meat eater is like you. I showed my boyfriend, who has always been a huge animal lover- he was the one who showed me how cruel the meat trade was.. But i showed him how the animals in the wool industry are kept, because he didn't think they were locked up- and he was astounded. So dont just assume you know what it is like for every person.
No it is not irrelevant at all. You preach the moral high ground but find it difficult to answer my question. I deduce from that that you are not sure that your answer to both questions would be no. Simple questions requiring monosyllabic answers. Put your money where your mouth is.
I wasn't being rude to you at all, and Im not preaching a moral high grand- at all! I am not at all claiming to be better than anyone.. Don't try and put me down and make me feel like i think im better, that's not at all what Isaid..
You don't need to be rude to get your point across.
where on earth do you get this 'evidence' that all sheep are locked up. It is pure rot. Quite the contrary actually. Most sheep are free range. AA really needs to source much more reliable evidence to retain ANY credibility. Much of what is written here is an abomination of lies. Shame on you, you do no justice to animals when you talk through your hats.
I don't believe I said most. But even if some are, we don't know what ones come from roaming farms- or factory farms- if I don't know where it comes from, I don't want to be apart of it. It's about knowing what your eating/wearing. If i can't trust it's source, then I don't need it. I can wear a nice warm hoodie, that has no wool on it- just as comfy, but im not wandering where it came from. Again, you have no need to be rude to me.
Your demanding I answer questions , what for? I dont have to justify the way I live to a complete stranger. .I dont have to explain what i believe, or what id do in a hypathetical situation to a complete stranger. As long as i am happy with myself, then I have no reason to answer your questions. I am not at all questioning the way i live my life, i am not at all on shakey grounds with how i live my life- i dont have something to prove to you, so i see no reason why id need to answer your questions. To fulfill your life? to give you something? i dont know you, i dont owe you anything.. you are only being rude, and assuming that i am something im not, i dont need to prove anything to you.
