You wouldn't want this cute calf to be slaughtered, would you? Then pay up 💰

"Our meat program" Literal support for the corpseflesh industry isn't "vegan". If you want to keep animals away from slaughter, support actual sanctuaries that aren't threatening to kill anyone, or take a bolt cutter and break the cages and fences yourself.

While cattle can certainly help with these things, even small scale ops are often poorly managed. I've seen a fuck ton of over grazed and compacted pasture

@nm @vegan Imagine a dog meat farmer did this and said to the non-dog eaters they will spare this dog and not kill them for meat if you pay them a monthly fee.

@nm @vegan this is disgusting. Treating as if they own the lives of the cows.

You don't get it, this is a scam to get vegans to form a emotional attachment with a young cow and it will be used as leverage. Independent animal farms are a tiny minority and especially under pressure to neglect a animal's needs for profit in a industry that has normalized it to a terrifying extent.

Oh sure, very possibly or even likely. But what's the alternative? As far as I can see, it's either these animals being butchered for profit or basically going extinct. All bad options

Edit: I went back to read the title from the image. The "vegan" label on there is very pointed. Seems derogatory.

[-] fluffplush@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The alternative is not breeding living beings just to imprison and exploit them. Going extinct isn't "bad", especially when the alternative is what we currently inflict on them. That said, you can always support sanctuaries. You know those places taking in animals that specifically don't have a literal "meat-program"?

@Lodra @kttnpunk Another other alternative is that when the fharmed species of these animals - which have been specifically and unnaturally engineered by us over many generations solely to fulfil our desires from their bodies - are no longer forcibly bred, this would free up vast areas of land on which their wild brethren would be able to flourish, unmolested, again.
To claim breeding animals solely to kill them is the only way to stop them going extinct is disingenuous at best.

Welcome

Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.

What is Veganism?

'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'

— abridged definition from The Vegan Society
