Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
Kacarott@feddit.de 1 month agoI respect your viewpoint, but I wanted to point out that I think the argument of “animals do X, therefore it’s ok” isn’t a really good one, imo. In fact I think one of the features of being human is being able to rise above what other animals do, when we think it is a good idea. (Whether it’s a good idea here though, is another topic)

I mean I’m vegan and I’ve got nothing against hunters, like they said we’re animals and animals sometimes eat animals. Most vegans are against animal farming as there is no way to do it humanely on a large scale.
I personally wouldn’t eat a hunted animal, right now but if civilization was to fall it’s fair game.

I’m not trying to make a case for or against veganism, or hunting. My point is that “we are animals and animals sometimes do X” implying that makes it ok, is bad logic. Animals also sometimes eat their young, or murder or rape other creatures of the same species.
Now like I said, I’m not arguing against or for veganism here, I think there are good arguments for both sides, I just don’t think that the “we are animals” argument is one of them :)

I was agreeing with you against that thinking, sorry if that wasn’t clear
