Vegans take things too far

1076:

Because most people are still grappling with their feelings about humans who are different (classism, racism, homophobia, etc), it’s all too much to then consider our kinship with other species.  Most people don’t consider that animals matter - they are separate from humans.  Many people believe we’re superior. This is confirmed by eating the ‘sub-species’.  If we didn’t feel superior we’d choke on every mouthful of meat we ate.

           

This is why vegan principle is potentially such a danger to society - we advocate equality with other sentients. One doesn’t screw one’s equals.

In human society we can be friendly to our differently-coloured neighbours living next door. We can show affection for our companion animals. But we can’t have warm feelings for cattle and pigs.  That would be taking things too far. We prefer to take equality with a pinch of salt when it comes to the little comforts of life. Considering and wanting to protect all animals, living as a vegan, it’s incomprehensible. Most people would prefer vegans kept quiet or even kept quiet. Which is why those same people agree that Society should portray vegans as uncool, weird and extremist.
