As someone who works w animals “animals are not mindless automatons, they actually do have feelings and individuality and are capable of feeling acute physical and emotional pain and of forming deep attachments with other animals and people” and “animals are not human infants and have a limited capacity to communicate with humans so you have to familiarize yourself with their boundaries bc if they feel threatened or overstimulated they will fall back on their basic instincts and if you fuck around you are going to find out” are statements that can and should coexist

‘When scientists like me advocate for healthy and environmentally-friendly eating, it’s often said we’re sitting in our ivory towers promoting something financially out of reach for most people. This study shows it’s quite the opposite. These diets could be better for your bank balance as well as for your health and...the planet.’
Oxford University research has today revealed that, in countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and across Western Europe, adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third.
🌱 🌼 ✨ 🌱 🌼 ✨ 🌱 🌼 ✨
It found that in high-income countries:
Vegan diets were the most affordable and reduced food costs by up to one third.
Vegetarian diets were a close second.
Flexitarian diets with low amounts of meat and dairy reduced costs by 14%.
By contrast, pescatarian diets increased costs by up to 2%.

Gentle reminder that veganism is not a diet.
Veganism is not a lifestyle either.
Veganism is a social justice movement with the goal of liberating animals from our speciesist cultural practices which have incorrectly come to believe that exploiting animals is necessary for survival and even a civilized notion. Being vegan includes doing all that is possible in your power to practically avoid supporting industries and practices which deprive animals of a complete & happy life.
It's not new. It's not a fad. It is radical in this day and age, but simply in the same way that labor laws (eg. for children, slaves, sweatshop workers, slaughterhouse workers, etc) were and still are. Exploitation is exploitation.

Me, and every other vegan on this site: maybe exploiting animals... is bad? And we don't need to?
Tumblrinas: we've been exploiting animals hundreds of years, and nothing bad has come of it *sweeps all the bad that has come of it under the rug* so we're not going to change. Also, you saying that is [insert some virtue signalling thing here]
Animal exploiting farmers: umm, actually [insert animal product here] is good for you
Tumblrinas: see?? It's so so good for us! And why would they lie just because they make money off us buying these products??? Vegans are weird.
Do y'all see how you sound?

Btw people who are super invested in animal rights but don’t put that same energy into advocating for human rights racial justice reproductive rights LGBTQ visibility etc don’t actually give a shit ab animal rights they only perform empathy for those they feel the least threatened by those who can’t contradict them those who they have complete control over those who hey would you look at that don’t have any rights or any voice there are actual conversations to be had about the value of animals beyond human consumption and these people set that conversation all the way the fuck back

Also, if vegans are so ableist/classist/racist/this/that then why do poor vegans exist? Why do disabled vegans exist? Why do POC vegans exist? Why are POC vegans one of the fastest growing groups?
And why do they all say the same thing , that is, to go vegan?
Maybe we just care about animals? Maybe we don't have anything to gain by you going vegan? Maybe your anti vegan arguments are the same 5 fallacies over and over again? Maybe you should go vegan?
