The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. Please avoid sharing articles about celebrities, plant-based capitalism and artificial intelligence.

I think she means that they get their pets from rescues and shelters; versus breeders. Which btw, everyone should adopt from a rescue or shelter, and shun breeders. There should be more awareness raised about how many animals are put down because the shelters are over capacity. If you don’t feel you can commit to adopting, you can at least foster to help alleviate the over capacity. There are far too many people out there with animals they weren’t prepared for, and then try to surrender them.
