PP, do you eat almonds farmed in California? Drink almond milk? Ever eat a banana? Or heaven forbid an apple in the spring? Do you fly on airplanes? Do you have a pet? Have you ever been to a zoo? Ever eat something with palm oil or even just sugar? Do you drink coffee? Your moral rigidity is not doing you any favors because now if you’re guilty of any of these things, you are making decisions that harm the environment. And personally, I think killing thousands of animals and hurting the health of millions of humans because thousands of acres of rainforest were destroyed for your “plant-based” diet is worse than killing one cow in West Virginia. That pair of jeans you got from H&M? Well the dye they used is destroying the oceans and killing marine life. Have you ever used a plastic straw? (Good lord!) The fact of your very existence is harmful to animals. Slap yourself on the back for not eating animals, but judging others when you are just as guilty of moral transgressions is disgusting.

i see this stupid counter-argument all the time. i didn't become a vegan for the environment. i became one because the thought of eating animals (and the fear and pain they go through) disgusts me. people try to justify eating meat by going on weird rants about the environment and consumption. yeah, you're so superior to vegans/vegetarians because you can list out all the terrible things humans do to the environment.

killing a healthy animal is never "humane," no matter how much some cute little farm tells you that the animals have such beautiful little lives before dying peacefully. it's gross.
