    If a dog was sleeping in the driveway behind your car and you were running late for work, would you take the extra time and effort to make sure they get out of the way, or just run them over?

    If not funding the worst atrocities against animals means I need to pay a little extra attention to my diet (something most omnivores should be doing as well), that’s a perfectly fine tradeoff to me.

        That’s a pretty wild interpretation of what I said lol.

        The person I replied to was making a case for eating meat out of convenience, and I used an analogy to show that people generally wouldn’t put their convenience over an animal’s welfare.

        People hate vegans because vegans are proof that you don’t need to support industries that profit off of harming animals.
