wth is a vegan? Did y'all just make up new slang for a meme or something? Please explain it to me

It’s a person who aims to do the least harm to and exploitation of animals practicable. Vegans don’t all agree with each other, but generally they don’t eat any animal products (food waste and somehow honey are common disagreements among vegans), nor would they buy new leather products (some might buy secondhand, but others won’t even hold on to a pair of shoes they bought and wore for years before going vegan).

It’s insane to me, how many people think that “bugs” aren’t animals. Sponges or barnacles, I can understand, but everyone knows that mosquitoes feed off of blood and spiders lay eggs, so how is it even a question?

Lots of people get their wires crossed with animal versus mammal, even if they're otherwise smart and educated. I've lost an unreasonable number of arguments against people who thought birds weren't animals and couldn't be convinced otherwise.

Birds? Dang, that one I haven’t heard yet
