If you're shocked by capital murdering puppies, wait until you find out about the animal torture/murder industry, enslaved labor, etc.
The puppies are just the tip of the meatberg.
Our ignorance is godly.
The meat eaters are not going to be happy with this comment. :^)
nah, it's fine, puppies are too stringy anyway.
I don't understand?
You never heard the joke before? "How do you know if someone is vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you"
But in all seriousness now.. every group out there, no matter how moral or good or whatever will always have extremists and people like this that will give the group a bad name. Unfortunately, veganism has a lot of these. Which is a shame, because we really need more vegans.
Hey, I think killing animals is bad
Ugh, extremist much?
Yeah, because calling everyone "meateaters" and pretending they're all equal and that killing puppies to make make a movie and eating chicken is the same thing. Yeah, that's a perfectly normal and healthy way to spread the message.
People would be a lot more open to discussion and change if you weren't so confrontational. The fact that you felt the need to disagree with someone that said the world needs more vegans proves my point, I'm pretty sure, but whatever, you do you.
I'm sorry, but this is giving me massive "of course I support feminism, but goes too far/is too hysteric" vibes. You can suggest better communication strategies, of course (or better yet, use them yourself), if you think you know better how to convince people to stop killing animals. But only criticizing vegans for their tone, and then finishing with "I think the world needs more vegans" does not make you sound supportive at all.
I'm gonna ask the dreaded question then: If you think the world needs more vegans, are you vegan? And if not, would you be if vegans were less rude to you?
Heavily reduced meat and animal product consumption but not yet vegan, no. It requires more research and time and energy than I have right now to fully switch. (And a few more good recipes, because many are quite meh, for some reason) But I'll get there eventually.
And vegans haven't been rude to me, thanks for your concern. It's not about that, even. But all those jokes that are floating around haven't been created by the meat industry. It's not some conspiracy. You know the phrase "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"? That's all I'm saying.. and it's not even about veganism.. it's about life in general. People are way too angry, especially online. Too quick to judgement and insults. They say the same thing about leftists.. that they're too busy fighting amongst themselves rather than focusing on what matters.
Disagreed with plenty of people in real life, but it's never been like this. Never heard the phrase "meat eater" in real life, even tho I've talked with plenty of vegans. Same for "tankie" and a bunch of others.
I couldn't imagine not killing baby boy chicks at less than an hour old in a masher, ALIVE. What would we do without taking a mother's bubba from her in the dairy industry.
And it's also evolutionary fortification that we make a choice that works out well for us through real metrics or confirmation bias and we broadcast it to everyone else.
wait until you hear about the insane bullshit that went on on the Milo and Otis film :/
Even though animals were harmed in the film, it was still released?
Then what's the point of the protections?
Honestly for disney that's spca worthy
All for capitalism....
discovered that the lemming scene was actually filmed at the Bow River near Canmore, Alberta, and further that the same small group of lemmings was transported to the location, jostled on turntables, and repeatedly shoved off a cliff to imply mass suicide.

Boy, markdown + deep links is not a good combination.
Parvovirus is a puppy owners worst nightmare. It's kind of puppy ebola but super contagious and high mortality rate.
Typically puppy owners never accept a puppy younger than 8 weeks without their first vaccination. And don't let them go out in places exposed to other unknown dogs until after the second vaccination at 16 weeks. So those early weeks should be spent with other vaccinated puppies to socialise them. And if you are going out, carry them or put them in a cart, or take them places you know no sick dogs have been within a year.
Yet another reason why raising puppies is so much harder than people think.

pointlessly breaking the web & accessibility
Does OP know about this alternative to images of text called text? 🤦
Hoooooly shit I knew productions with animals were usually darker than they seem but Snow Buddies???? Snow Buddies was built on the back of mass puppy casualty???
Go watch Milo and Otis again. Holy shit. They through a fucking kitten off a cliff.
After doing some wtf research, the thing was filmed in China. Those poor kittens and puppies.

Werner Herzog boiled 11000 living rats in ink for Nosferatu.
Yeah when you hear dude babbling about the "cruelty of nature" or whatnot... He's just talking about himself.
Dutch behavioral biologist Maarten 't Hart, hired by Herzog for his expertise with laboratory rats, revealed that, after witnessing the inhumane way in which the rats were treated, he no longer wished to cooperate. Apart from traveling conditions that were so poor that the rats, imported from Hungary, had started to eat each other upon arrival in the Netherlands, Herzog insisted the plain white rats be dyed gray. To do so, according to 't Hart, the cages containing the rats needed to be submerged in boiling water for several seconds, causing another half of them to die. The surviving rats proceeded to lick themselves clean of the dye immediately, as 't Hart had predicted they would.
Holy shit.
