    That’s because vegetarians are either hypocrites or don’t care about animal suffering in the first place. Ideologically they have more in common with meat eaters than with vegans.

    *stay mad, cheesebreath. Those are the only two options. Either they don’t care about causing animal suffering for their lifestyle, or they claim to care and are hypocrites. ‘animals shouldn’t be killed for food, except for these foods’ is a fundamentally hypocritical position.

      Perfection is the enemy of good. Being vegetarian is already a huge improvement, not just for animal welfare, but also from an ecological viewpoint.

      It’s a lot easier to convince people to eat less meat, or give it up entirely, than to just become vegan overnight. And many vegetarians eventually become vegan

        Yes, when they realize being vegetarian is hypocritical. Or they aren’t hypocrites because they don’t care about animal suffering and they’re doing it for environmental reasons or whatever.
