Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.

    I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.

      I do what I can to give my animals a good life. Mostly, that means keeping them protected and giving them a lot of space.

      I definitely hate factory farming. It’s a cancer, and allows people to eat meat without processing death. …and so, in soft ways that have hard consequences, they look away from death, and look away from any conflict -or only enough to decry it, and complain that someone should do something about it. But that mentality pervades everything they do.

      Thanks for contributing to the ultimate destruction of factory farming. You have my respect.
