Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    We’re arguing for the rights of animals over the rights of people who want to take them away. I just told you there’s no debate that killing an animal is killing an animal. How do you disagree with that? I never said ‘murder’, that’s trying to muddy the waters. The abortion debate is about whether or not abortion is killing a living being. Slaughtering animals is objectively so.
