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?
