I'm vegan and this is a really dumb thing to say. Get over yourself.

I doubt you are, since you have hundreds of comments on human issues (with a few pet issues) but apparently none on animal ag.

But if you are, then you need to get over yourself, pick-me. Veganism isn't about us or our need for approval. It isn't "extra credit" after we're done with all the caring about humans and pets. It's about the suffering of victims, vastly greater in scope than the suffering of this one dog. And there will be people here who don't respond, but who finally get the message.

I am, have been for years and was vegetarian even longer. Difference is I don't make it my personality. Which you obviously do. And if your idea of making a difference is only online presence then there's your problem.

Why would you think my presence is only online?

If it were 1840 and you you were anti-slavery, would you not "make it your personality"? If not, would you insult the people who did? Judging from your Reddit history, you seem to make human justice issues a pretty big part of your personality. So why not the billions of annual nonhuman victims?

Let me use this thread about a guy killing dogs just to get rid of them, not to eat them, to push my agenda down everyones throat, for i am a smart and good person.

Let me inflict torture upon beings with just as many feelings as this dog, for reasons just as selfish as the guy in the pickup, and unleash anger on him so that I don't have to do anything against animal cruelty myself, even though I easily could.

I know what made me change at the age of 40, as well as many other people I know.

It was being told the truth.

If you pay for enslavement, mutilation and torture, for completely unnecessary taste preference, you're doing something in the same moral category as the guy in the pickup.

Telling me that that point doesn't work on you, simply means that right now I'm speaking to other people. Not quite speaking to you... yet.

You're doing the same thing with technology instead of meat. You're human and equally hypocritical. You don't get a free pass.

zombiegojaejin t1_izmk41b wrote

Are you avoiding that technology? Or using it too, and also eating the corpses of tortured sentient beings?

By your reasoning here, isn't the guy in the video no worse than you or me? Why are we on a thread expressing outrage at him? If it's either 100% purity or nothing, why do so many people want to lock him up and throw away the key? He's just like us.

You're right that no one can be alive and be perfect. My point is about the relative size of harms. What many people eat every day causes much more horrible suffering than this guy caused to one dog, and the reasons people give for doing it are also really weak.

I'm not ruling out my own hypocrisy as I'm also human. Just don't flaunt yourself as someone better than non vegans when you're also guilty of what you spew. You're not better, you've just made a different choice in life where you belive you've made an impact. Grats.

Advocates love this one simple trick to turn people away from veganism while stroking themselves!

For every vegan that tries to shame me for eating meat, I go out and buy a big 24 oz porterhouse to share with my dogs. I don't even like steak.

Sure you do.

Just like you probably respond to every thread of people angry at a guy running over a dog by running over two dogs.

I'll eat an extra soy curl al pastor taco for you. :-)

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

And you go enjoy your pineapple flavored soy curls 🤣

zombiegojaejin t1_izmu8xy wrote

And you enjoy knowing that you support animal cruelty that's vastly worse than the guy in the video you came on here to hate on. And this will be your moral legacy, which your great-grandchildren will judge you for. Unless you figure it out in time, which (In the spirit of Christmas) I hope you do. <3

Nah, pretty sure my great grandchildren won't be vegans.
