Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?
neatchee@piefed.social 3 weeks agoIt’s mostly about consent. We can debate when and where sentience begins, but it begins somewhere and vegans hold a moral philosophy that says using another sentient being’s work product or body without their consent is immoral.
Note that I am not vegan myself but understand, if not agree with, their moral position.
And as another reply said, most vegans recognize it as a “best effort” philosophy, as they appreciate the impracticality of an absolutist stance. They are focused on “harm reduction”.

the term “consent” doesn’t appear anywhere in the definition of veganism, not does the definition allude to the concept

Sup commie, glad to see you’re still committed to the cause of having exclusively bad takes

if that’s true, why isn’t that party of the definition proffered by the vegan society?
do you have any evidence for this claim?

The Vegan Society can eat shit. Veganism isn’t an organization with strict rules and regulations. There is no one definition of veganism. My evidence is the fact that nearly every vegan cites consent as one of the primary factors behind their decision to be vegan.
