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.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

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

Participating in...? Adopting animals and treating them like family when the alternative is that they may not have been adopted or loved?

I don't buy animals, and I don't treat them like property because it is wrong to do so. It's more than just not using the term "pet". It's about treating other sentient beings with the consideration they deserve.
