Ok I understand we all unknowingly say things that we don't fully mean. For example you might say "I care so much about *insert friends name*" but you
haven't talked to them in a month because you've been too lazy or busy, or you say "I love babies!" but deep down you know a few hours after babysitting one you
will want to give it back and never see a baby again, just for some examples. But I get so irritated whene non vegans say "Oh I LOVE animals!"
or when they complain about whaling or people who wear fur. I know that it IS very good they show an interest in issues such as whaling and stuff but I get
so irritated and want to say "Oh you love animals, huh? Is that why you pay people to tortue hundreds of them in unimaginable way every year just because you want to eat their corpse? I'm sure
the animals dying in factory farms are saying "Wow someone really must love and rescept me!"" Of course I never would do that cause that will make them never
want to go vegan. It might make SOME people make a connection but it also might make them shut the vegan idea all together.
So that's why I'm making this little rant. I have meat eating friends who say things that irk me. One was talking about how awful animal abuse is. BTW she was saying
this while we were drving in her fully leather cloaked car -_-
And my brother inlaw sometimes complains about animal testing. Besides the fact he EATS animals he wears old spice( they test on animals).
And how can we forget the infamous "OMG PEOPLE IN ASIA EAT CATS AND DOGS :O OMGGG!!!!"
Ok, yeah it's awful they do that but don't you eat pigs, turkeys,cows, chickens etc.?
And this one girl I know REALLy irks me. She keeps saying "I LOVE MEAT" all the time randomly and "MEAT TASTE GOOD" (she's 10 so I brush it off but still) I know
it's just to make me angry or hurt me or what ever and I plan to have a polite talk about it with her but it really irrtates me! And then she liked a page on facebook (I know ten year old shouldn't have facebook but she's not my kid) about respectign animals. Yet she things it's so cool to eat meat. That makes no sense.
HOW can you love someone only to have someone kill/tortue/beat/encage them so you can eat them? UGH!
OK I'm done with this rant for now.
I feel better.
BTW A little bro tip:
If a friend does this they probaly do have some care for animals they just haven't made the connection. Try to help them in a calm manner. Atleast that's what I do and
it helps for some people.
