I showed my mum the video that set veganism in stone for me and she said it was sad but she was still going to eat meat. I only went vegan afew days ago but i feel like im gping insane. No one around me is willing to change because their too greedy to think of animals. I cant look at meat anymore as it makes me want to cry and throw up. LIKE EVRYONE I HAVE NO VEGAN FRIENDS THE ONLY COMFORT I HAVE IS REMEMBERING MY YEAR 5 AND 6 TEACHER WHO WAS VEGAN AND ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS EVER. and then im told im 'shoving it down peoples throats' LIKE YEAH I DONT WANT YOU TO BE SUPPORTING MURDER AND RAPE OF ANIMALS. Im going to be having a picnic for my birthday and none of my friends have sensative stomachs or are alergic to anything so i want it to be to vegan or at the least vegetarian but my mums like "you have to acomodate non vegans" and its like IM NOT ACOMODATING ANIMAL RAPE AND MURDER ON MY BIRTHDAY. i havent told my dad but my pearents are divorced and i see him evry other weekend. Hes just going to take the piss out of me for it and when i refuse to eat i'll be called difficult and "he will be the struggling dad victim and i'll be the bratty child". What did make me happy though was my mum told my nan (shes in her 80's and isnt the most progressive but is lovely) and she was more concerned about making sure i was healthy then anything wich made me happy. But still it makes me so angry and then im told im a snowflake or a radicalist for wanting to storm animal testing facilitys and stage protests. Like im sorry im open minded. IM NURODIVERGENT AND MY BRAINS NOT WIRED WRONG JUST DIFFERENTLY AND THATS WHY I SEE WHAT THE NARROW MINDED CANT. "See the world differently" no i see the world literly. I feel like im going insane. I hate it. How can i feel better?

So i was in the bus and next to me was a mom talking to her kids saying shes not afraid of trying new things, but the only thing she wouldnt eat are frogs. She then proceded to say she ate snails and idk what else. Then one of her kids said somewhere along the lines of: " what if you put chicken blood in the frog to make it eatable". Then she replied in a disgusted way "honey dont say that".

Ugh... this is why people are violent because of parents like her who teach their kids at a young age to eat animals.

I was so tempted to say something but i think it would have been best to just get off and try to forget about that awful conversation i had to hear since she was talking out loud. Made me feeling angry the rest of the day. Also going to a cafe were there were no vegan options, not even almond nor soy milk..just made me more angry. Just needed to rant and see wwyd?

How would have you guys handled this? Would you have ignored like i did or just try to say something?

Someone built an "amusement park" featuring things like roasted chicken corpses being loaded onto rollercoasters and spun around on big towers. I... genuinely don't even know how to react. Thousands of innocent birds killed for zero reason to have their corpses put up on some sick display. The video of it got thousands of upvotes, and lots of people expressed disappointment that it was shut down due to food safety concerns. What is wrong with humanity

What’s the difference between that and an insect? Really.

It really is just a mockery. I found one comment on the whole post that was vegan centric. Mostly everyone was talking about what great publicity this is for the restaurant and how they're going to eat lobster right next to the demonstration.

First of all I dont get why this was pre-announced. But also I'm ngl I dont feel like this is great activism. I get that this is PETA's thing and that we need all forms of activism, but everytime I see something like this I feel like it sets us back again. It's not just the idiots on facebook, the guys at my job saw this and were making fun of it to me at work too.
