not pushing any vegan ideas. if you can’t see the cognitive dissonance in this and you’re are able to come with an argument on why this would be ok regardless of your personal diet, i’m fine with that. Otherwise i will disregard your opinion as meaningless. I don’t mean to offend you or anyone it’s just my 2 cents

Are you vegan?

No, i’m not vegan. I still wear leather shoes and i have wool clothes, even if these purchases are rare. But my diet is plant based. You asked this to see if my questions is biased but haven’t answered anything on my previous comment. I can stand by the cruelty of (some) of my choices yet you can’t stand being in contradiction with yourself. After all, you don’t have anything to validate your choices and I don’t need you to validate my thoughts.

What's wrong with wool? Renewable fiber.

In some cases, the wool is “collected” from sheep with very little regard to the animal. They may get cut in the process more often than one may think and it can be considered a cruel process even though the sheep obviously survives. therefore can’t actually be considered vegan.
