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
Do those other animals have the biology that allows them to subsist on other foods and the higher thinking required to question the morality of their actions?
Arguably, yes to both of those things.
Vegan cat food exists for example and animals have exhibited morals.
