If you're shocked by capital murdering puppies, wait until you find out about the animal torture/murder industry, enslaved labor, etc.

The puppies are just the tip of the meatberg.

Our ignorance is godly.

The meat eaters are not going to be happy with this comment. :^)

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

nah, it's fine, puppies are too stringy anyway.

You never heard the joke before? "How do you know if someone is vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you"

But in all seriousness now.. every group out there, no matter how moral or good or whatever will always have extremists and people like this that will give the group a bad name. Unfortunately, veganism has a lot of these. Which is a shame, because we really need more vegans.

Hey, I think killing animals is bad

Ugh, extremist much?

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, because calling everyone "meateaters" and pretending they're all equal and that killing puppies to make make a movie and eating chicken is the same thing. Yeah, that's a perfectly normal and healthy way to spread the message.

People would be a lot more open to discussion and change if you weren't so confrontational. The fact that you felt the need to disagree with someone that said the world needs more vegans proves my point, I'm pretty sure, but whatever, you do you.

I'm sorry, but this is giving me massive "of course I support feminism, but goes too far/is too hysteric" vibes. You can suggest better communication strategies, of course (or better yet, use them yourself), if you think you know better how to convince people to stop killing animals. But only criticizing vegans for their tone, and then finishing with "I think the world needs more vegans" does not make you sound supportive at all.

I'm gonna ask the dreaded question then: If you think the world needs more vegans, are you vegan? And if not, would you be if vegans were less rude to you?

I can’t even imagine the kind of person you have to be to actually let this movie get published about a bunch of cute little puppy dogs if you had the power to stop it and you knew what happened.

WTF?! Man I love Air Bud franchise but I never saw Snow Buddies. I was thinking of doing a re-watch and see all the Air Bud movies I haven't seen yet. But after seeing this news I'm not so sure....

hahah holy fuck, man. was not expecting to see that when I first opened up Lemmy

What's the conventional wisdom as to why this is so bad, but eating meat basically gets a pass? Like, meat offers sustenance, yes, but it's by no means required. So basically, humans eat meat because it tastes really good


it's great "culinary entertainment."

This is a different kind of entertainment, but it's deeply offensive to many folks. I'm not trying to be a dick about it, just curious why this is seen as such a sin.

Is it that these animals weren't "supposed" to be killed? Would a movie about a beef cow who ends up getting slaughtered, both onscreen and IRL, be seen as better? Worse?

[-] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 4 points 1 week ago

are you for real comparing this to eating meat?

Like we artificially breed cows into existence for meat and milk alone, dogs exists as companions, how could possibly be the same?.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Because the animals don't care what our intended purpose for them is.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

I assume that "No animal were harmed" claim cannot be used in film where real meat are consumed?

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The "conventional wisdom" is just the usual cognitive dissonance of carnists.

They want to cry about puppies but also enjoy meat based on even worse exploitation, torture, murder, etc.

Welcome to veganism! 🌱💚🌱
