    Apparently I'm a misantropic creep

You joined a movement you have superficial similarity to through your eating habits and tokenisms you parrot. Setting you on ignore." because I don't like domesticated cats...

    Do you put veganism first ?

    Some right-wingers say intersectional vegans never prioritize animal activism. But is it true? Do most vegan conservatives really put veganism first ? What about you? Important: please vote in the poll before participating in the discussion.

    I don't want your thumb-ups

    I realised several months ago that the ratio reaction score/number of posts was an indicator of blandness or cleverness. It’s a shame that the number of posts isn’t visible anymore on the forum. Let me explain. I was frustrated because I worked on my posts and tried to be interesting. But they...

    Cats: A Love-Hate Relationship

    I was strolling in my garden. Watering the edible honeysuckles and the rhubarbs. I saw a big beautiful green lizard, Lacerta viridis, in the pleasurable sun. What a beauty! I went back to my work: building a dry stone wall. Then I saw my neighbour’s obese cat moving fast in the background and...

    What about survival situations ?

    I’d be delighted to hear from you about extreme survival situations. Are they relevant to veganism? I bet you've already answered the “you can only save one” question… So I'm quite sure you wouldn't mind exploring the ethics of surch an interrogation. I’d be mostly pleased to read your answers...

    Spiritual vegetarian, rational vegan

    I was vegetarian at birth, because so were my parents. But I started to eat meat when my father decided to breed sheep (and killed them to feed us). Then during an existential crisis, I became vegetarian. I didn’t want to have my soul eaten. I had the impression that invisible beings were...

    Have you ever been to the slaughter house?

    I went to the slaughter house when I was twelve or thirteen years old. I don’t remember much of it: a cow was killed with a bolt gun in her head. Then she was tipped out on the low floor, about one meter down. There were carcasses in the background. It appeared to me that the open corridor below...

    Equality & Argument From Marginal Cases: inconsistencies

    The assertion “humans and non-human-animals are not equal” is inconsistent with the Argument From Marginal Cases. Reductio ad absurdum: What ever justification asserts that humans and animals are not equal could be applied to humans only. So this would imply that humans are not all equals...

    Hello

    Hi, I'm here because I'm tiered of arguing with people who comment videos... actually when a comment is more than two sentences long it becomes confusing for the troll army. And I'm really annoyed with that. I thought I would ask vegans what they think about topics which seems to be...

    Can vegans eat meat (roadkills)

    Here are my three reasons not to eat roadkills or any dead animal one might find in the woods: 1) Ecological reason: a dead bird is part of the ecosystem. It should be eaten by crows and maggots (and other scavengers). Then the corps should fertilize the soil. 2) Moral reason: animals are...

    Animals are equal to humans:

    Animals are equal to humans: inconsistencies in the way most vegans use the word equality and the argument from marginal cases Usually vegans say that we're not equal to animals (but we have to recognise that our taste buds are not worth harming animals). With such an understanding of...
