Also..
I think when start saying that non-vegans don't care about animals (which Ckimina wasn't!) it isolates us and makes us sound in many ways elitist - turning people away from veganism.
you mention you would love to have a pet of some animal other then what most people consider companion animals (in this case it was a cow), and the people around you
ask if you are going to eat it afterwards!! OMG NO!
then they continue to talk about how yummy steak is.
I asked if they were going to eat their dogs and cats once they grew up.
Also, I hate it when your partner offers you some beef in a restaurant...
"Cows don't have to have babies to produce milk" - my nan in particular. She think she knows better since she knew someone with dairy cows.
And the whole thing bout how people say they love animals then go and eat them.
Or saying how since they have b12/iron/calcium etc problems that they can't go veg. I'm getting more iron now then I ever did when eating animal
I agree with you soooo much D: A mate of mine owns a dairy farm right, and when ever I'd bring up the whole issue he'd be like "It's not like that; I'D KNOW"
It makes me so angry because fair enough, he has his cows out in paddocks and what not and it's not the same as the mainstream milk [They do it for them; not selling it] and I'm always just 'Okay whatever; forget I said anything" because he gets so angry about it all =
Then there's my other mate who always says that I should eat meat cause I'm 5ft 1" and 40Kgs; but I'm completely healthy = He's always bugging me that I'm going to get bad diseases and stuff from it; and he's seen the videos of all the stuff that goes on in the factory farms and says "so? its business." >.< so *%$&%$% angry ><
You order a vegan meal and the waiter reassures you that they know what vegan is and it comes out with cheese topping.
or you ask if they have vegan options and they say no, so you trick them and ask for the vegetarian option without cheese
oh no wait i don't hate that i just laugh to myself
some people are just plain silly
