Saying that people from some countries eat cats or dogs, an objective fact, is not racist. Saying that it makes them barbaric or that they're coming after your pets is racist. (hexbear.net)

No really, please do come up with an argument for why eating chicken/goats/pigs/cows is totally fine but eating cats & dogs is not. It is a dreary day outside so I would like a laugh.

[CW: Mentions of Homophobia/Misogyny/FGM]

Whenever I ask carnists this question, I actually get tons of them saying "Eating dogs and cats is moral in places where it's culturally acceptable, but where I'm from, it's wrong because they're pets and not food."

To this, I always respond by saying "Okay, so in countries where homophobic violence is unfortunately a norm, is it socially acceptable? What about female genital mutilation? What about treating women as second-class citizens?" and despite me literally just taking their logic to its conclusion, I get some baseless "That's different tho!" as a response.

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
