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

    It is two different topics.

    I know for fact plenty of vegans think it’s morally wrong to eat another living being. Regardless of how the animal is kept.

    You seem to be speaking on behalf of a lot of vegans. I don’t believe “most vegans” believe what you think they do. Certainly not the ones I’ve interacted with.

    The almighty “the” meat industry. As if everything is the same everywhere with the same framework, rules, and regulations.

    “quick/clean kill, like an arrow to a major artery”

    Holy shit, you think getting shot with an arrow produces a “quick/clean” kill? I can’t take anything you say seriously when your idea of a clean kill is a fucking arrow to an artery.
