once again, cross-posting from tumblr...
i keep having interactions like this. i'm just going to point to this when people get defensive. i'm too tired.
willing to educate; not interested in yelling matches.

“why do you care if i’m not vegan?”

you are paying others to force traumatized and abused wage slaves to slit the throats of babies. that’s not conjecture, either; most “food animals” are not adults, and slaughterhouse work is the most dangerous job in the united states.

violent crime rates are not only higher around slaughterhouse locations, but actually can be observed gradually increasing once one arrives in a region.

pollutants are sprayed into the air that nearby residents breathe.

antibiotic-resistant infections and superbugs flourish.

and more and more land is cleared to graze and grow feed for animals while methane and nitrous oxide emissions go unchecked from open waste pools and feedlot pens.

“stop trying to guilt me!”

you have every reason to feel guilty. just as i have every reason to be mad.

“well, i’m mad about those things too!”

great. good. but why, then, would you choose to direct your anger at vegans?

stop and think about that for a second. are you sure you’re mad at the right group of people?

and if not, when are you gonna change?
