Why do people ignore animal cruelty?

Question

Why is it that people can eat or wear a tortured animal? I'm a vegan by the way. But like meat eaters and fur wearers, how do you deal with that? I'm just wondering because dont you ever think of the history of that animal???
And what do you (meat eaters) think of vegans/ vegetarians because all of the meat eaters I know critisize me for being a vegan. It's because they think its too extreme. But whatever, i just wanna know what you think.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Some people couldn't handle being vegans. I don't have a problem with vegans but the fact that is that humans can get more calories and protein from eating meat then they can just by being vegans. I imagine vegans could get all their calories and protein from just plants but I know I couldn't live without eating cow and chicken. I don't understand how eating meat is animal cruelty. I think that your dietary lifestyle is your choice. Humans are omnivores meaning we are destined to eat both meat and plants. I don't agree with torturing an animal before you kill it and I would never do that as there are appropriate guidelines in my religion on how to slaughter an animal with the least suffering and pain to the animal as possible. Just ignore people that say vegans are extreme. They don't understand why some people become vegans.

Answer 2

Why don't you just convince yourself that you are better than meat eaters and decide not associate with us like the rest of the vegans.

The reason you are conflicted about how you like meat eaters is because we're not bad people, I thought that we're all supposed to be tollerant of other people's life decisions.

I have no problem with vegans as long as they don't push their beliefs on me. This is America by the way.

Like lions eating wilderbeast? That kind of cruelty?
