Does veganism actually save animals?

@BlueVeins Yes, you have the choice to subvert several thousand generations of evolution and consume a substandard diet deficient in protein, iron and lots of other valuable nutrients. Go ahead. Starvebyourself so you can continue your virtue signalling but dont forget the first point in this conversation;

Vegans, consuming a plant based diet cause the deaths of thousands of small animals. The silly slogan, "Meat is Murder" ignores the undeniable truth that plant cultivation causes as many deaths or more of small animals. Vegans are just as guilty of animal deaths are are omnivores if not more so.

@redredred
appeal to nature fallacy


Soybeans have more protein per calorie than meat


which you can get from oats, nuts, beans, and regular old supplements


😆


Veganism reduces the amount of plant cultivation that must be done in the first place by cutting out the middle man.

You're living in the 16th century, dude.

@BlueVeins Its okay if you run from clear logic when its presented to you; you wouldnt be a vegan if you understood logic.

@Piper Yeah, imagine applying that to voting, lol.

@TeirdalinFirefall awwwww. The hideous "living" conditions and mass slaughter we impose is for their benefit. So altruistic 👊

@gol979 I think that is mostly just due to excessively high demand mainly, and greedy factory owners trying to get extra cash for less effort, and less space. Taking advantage of the lax laws for farm animals.

@gol979 I wonder if there will ever be enough people who don't eat meat to put a dent in the amount of meat produced and farmed. I wonder if there will ever be enough vegans for any tangible change to be affected

@basicgirl12 errrm, yeah. If less people consume meat obviously leads to less demand.

I'm not saying the meat industry (even the name sounds rancid) will disappear but it will obviously make a "dent"

@SW-User


Compared to ending it's life? Yes, certainly.
