I cannot speak for any other mod, being newly minted, but this is not a vegans only sub.
Respectful and contextually appropriate replies are welcome but replies specifically hostile or following standard, trivially disputed, rhetoric will be removed.
For example I would not remove a reply like “What is it that determines whether or not something or someone is ok to eat in your eyes?” but I would remove “don’t you know grass screams when you cut it. You’re just hypocritical!”
Basically if you’re posting stuff to own the vegans, explain why vegans are wrong, or saying something against veganism that a trivial search or five minutes considering the opposite position would show as false or grossly distorted your comment will be removed.
I am currently working to make better decisions on what I eat and what products i consume. I’ve already switched over to chemicals and clothing that don’t test on animals or contain animal products. I’ve made changes to the diet, and I have taken “Meatless Mondays” out to only having meat once per month. I still eat eggs (I raise my own chickens), and I still eat honey (beekeeper). I haven’t had cows milk in years, but I really struggle with cheese. I’m getting there.
You’re right: it is a struggle. Your body gets used to what it knows. And if I can say it this way: I don’t think most carnists consume animal products specifically for the suffering of other animals. They do so because the food tastes the way they expect, the clothes feel the way they expect, and the products work the way they expect. I just don’t think that they think about it.
