    Post: animals have emotions

    Comment: we shouldn’t kill things with emotions

    I dunno seems pretty related. And when we’re feeling a lot of empathy for animals is probably the best time to think about these issues

      And then when someone brings a topic to discussion related to these issues

      “I can’t be vegan, i’m allergic to a lot of stuff”, suddenly it’s not about having a discussion anymore but rather to push one side of the story without consideration for others.

        You can still care about animal cruelty and be ethical, even if you have an allergy. Having a medical condition doesn’t give you a free pass to do whatever you want.

          You can still care about ethics and animal safety, and you are allowed to avoid foods you cannot eat due to allergy, even if that comes at an unfortunate cost
