    Making arguments are all well and good, but they won’t really persuade anyone either. You’re literally talking about changing a few millennia of cultural norms.

    Tradition is no excuse for exploiting and slaughtering the animals. Did you know slavery or stoning people to death were considered traditional practices.

    Stop being a weak bystander and knock it off with defending the current day atrocities where pigs are being gassed, calves are separated from their mothers only to be placed in cages where they’re prevented from moving to keep their flesh tender for veal only to soon be slaughtered or male chicks being thrown straight into macerators as they’re considered worthless to the egg industry.

    See how your food is made.

      You know. You’re missing the point?

      Your methods do not work. You know that. You can see the results.

      All people are going to remember from your interactions is that you were a preachy jerk.

      And it’s yet another interaction that reinforces the image that all vegans are preachy jerks- even if it is far from the truth.

      You are literally hurting your cause.
