This has been on my mind a lot, but I have been scouting around the vegan subreddit and vegan Facebook pages and I really hate what I've seen.
I only recently studied about veganism, but from my understanding, they are just a bunch of self-righteous people who refuse facts and instead go with their subjective opinion.
They say animals Don't consent, but I argue otherwise. Every animal has its language when it comes to mating, my girl bunny for instance circles around me and makes honking noises non-stop before she goes into a mating position and waiting for me to give her pleasure. She doesn't have bulging eyes, doesn't hide or other behavior that a rabbit does when scared, yet these vegans will refuse science in favor of opinion.
As a very happy male zoophile who gets depressed easily when away from my animal, I am very scared of these people. They say if you want love then get a girlfriend, but I don't want to. I was born a zoo sexual just like a gay person is born gay. We cannot change who we are.
The animal rights philosophy is confusing too. If vegans want animals to have rights, then shouldn't they have the right to reproduce?
I don't exactly know everything about vegans, but I would love to hear what your thoughts on this.
Not every vegan or vegetarian is like this. I've been vegetarian for 30 years. Some are activists, but I just don't like eating meat.
Good to know. I was a little hasty posting this and only looked at the vegans extreme views, but It just feels like the majority are a threat to our rights.
Some vegans say other vegans are not vegan for supporting breeding. Its confusing as all hell, but after looking the definition of veganism, it doesn't condemn breeding, so vegans can breed animals and still remain vegan.
I don't see why some people don't understand this. However, there is a controversy among breeders about what some call "rape racks". Temple Grandin addresses that forced sex for horses is unnecessary, but animals already have an urge to have sex.
Though I don't think animals are human, I don't think of them as machines. I think the biggest problems in mainstream culture among people whom eat meat is that they disconnect animals from meat (remember the lady that said she buys meat from the store, because she doesn't like killing animals) and they don't acknowledge that humans are animals. Nature can be cruel and people should not forget that.
That's a famous quote: "Horses are neither Human nor Machine"
Some vegans go way overboard. Don't take it personal.
