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.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

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

I agree, I'm a vegan with out pets and I think that all entrapment of animals is wrong. That said, there is only so much focus in the world and I don't think a world with farm and factory animals is one that will abolish pets. Personally I really am actually afraid and dislike dogs and have been mauled by one as a kid.
