    I speak from personal experience. I once tried talking about reducing meat consumption and got attacked. Never again.

      I got banned from a vegan community for calling someone out for equating meat consumption with domestic violence.

          Comparing eating meat with domestic violence is a laughable comparison and disingenuous at best. It’s attitudes like that that make the average person unable to take vegans seriously.

            You’re right of course, but not in the way you intend. The scope and scale of violence in animal agriculture is far greater than in domestic violence cases.

            I’m perplexed and rather horrified that you are so unable to empathize with your fellow creatures that you think anyone who can is being disingenuous.
