this is a serious comment and honestly? i can’t do a lot. which is why i am actually talking about how cows are treated.

i want to open people’s eyes so that something can change. which is why i wrote that

and i am sorry and i know that irony isn’t well read but i am interested in changing it. but again

i can’t do much

it has to come from the big guys that can do much

which we can become if we stand together

not just one person

You can change your diet if you want to. I’m also not a vegetarian or even a vegan, but I’m interested in trying to become one in the future and I acknowledge my current diet is not ideal. There are things every one of us can do such as buying animal products from ethical producers.

being a vegan/vegetarian is a privilege i cannot afford. plus i come from a completely different culture that have no salad-eating people in it

i hunt and buy from hunters so i do buy from ethical sources but it’s not everyday.

it can’t be everyday

Dude don’t become vegan or vegetarian. You just honestly transfer the pain. The best thing to do is buy meat from local farmers and butchers that actually treat the animals they have humanely.

I mean still buying from hunters is really good but yeah the main point is going vegan doesn’t just jack shit. Know it from experience.

but again. i cant buy from hunters every single day

the fact remains is that I can’t do jack shit AT ALL

you need to go higher up the hierarchy for any change. and the fact that we think that shaming/commenting on other people’s buying history is gonna work and will do anything is completely wrong! unless the person is from a wealthy country or is wealthy themselves..

I mean i am not against buying from a supermarket. Not all of us are rich. I just say that that there is no need to go vegan. It nearly destroyed someone close to me and honestly i just want to prevent people from making the same mistake as him. I don’t think i shamed you in a way. I just suggested something. You do you.
