I believe most vegans like animals. Yeah, yeah, carnists, we know your “with ketchup” shit, forget you!

Now what I wanted to struggle you people with…why the fuck do some vegans have pets? Animal stores are a fuck, 100 gorillion dead animals, but unironically! The so called conformation of animals, and the forced breeding, that’s just dystopian! And you can adopt, not shop, but most do not! And outdoor cats, that’s a catastrophe, especially with vegans! (Sorry for the levity, I know it’s serious, but it is the Hexbear injoke)

They make money selling living beings, why would a vegan pay them!?

Sorry for the rant. Vegan btw, I think all animal industries should be shut down, including animal shops! Maybe assistance animals can be an exception, if they can be trained ethically!

What do you think?

    I have a rabbit, but we got him through a rabbit rescue organisation that picks up abandoned rabbits and fosters them until they can be adopted. They also smuggle rabbits out of a hell state in my country that just straight up doesn’t allow them as pets and kills them if found. You have to show proof you have the capacity to care for it and pay an adoption fee to cover the cost of vaccinations and shelter for the next rabbit they rescue.

    Also rabbits are the best pet. They are quiet, the are vegan, they love playing like a dog but also just lounging around like a cat, they clean themselves, and their poo doesn’t smell. They are also really smart and can respond to their name, and can be easily litter trained.
