Well, carrion would be vegan, no?

If that animal was to die of natural causes, like sickness, lightning strike, old age, heart attack, etc. it could be considered vegan

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some do consider it vegan, same as the "freegan" subset. There's even at least one influencer who is a bit infamous for it But there's also a few problems with this line of reasoning. It still normalizes the idea of the consumption of animal products, so it's a slippery slope at best. It's also not scalable, as soon as probably even a modest proportion of people would adopt such a diet, demand would quickly start to surpass supply which would incentivise the artificial production of more road kill.

And then there's just the why? of it. Like if we're talking about extreme situations like starvation and poverty where there is literally no other choice, okay that would make sense. But otherwise, what is so wrong with eating plants that someone would go out of their way to eat carrion instead? With the likely putrefaction involved we are talking about literal self harm to avoid eating some good ol grains and beans.

normalizes the idea of the consumption of animal products

Consumption of animal products is normal. For thousands of years.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I was talking about normalization in the sense of what psychologically feels normal to a given person in question; not about what's popular. As vegan even the thought of eating an animal product is utterly bizarre and grotesque to me. You gotta take off those blood-tinted glasses to see clearly.

Sounds like a "you" problem.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, being vegan is great. It's all the animal abusers who are the problem.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

animal abusers

Who are you are talking about, sweetie? 😂

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Anyone who consumes or otherwise uses animal products.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Try "deluded" 🤣🤣🤣 Matches evangelical vegans like yourself.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So it's deluded to recognize that factory farms would literally not exist if it weren't for the insane amount of demand there is for those products, from 98% of the population in western countries?

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, deluded to think there is anything wrong with eating animal products, sweetie 😂

Fixed that for you.

Says the person who thinks this is normal.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world -4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Eating meat is normal. And tasty. Stick to your weeds and stop lecturing people how to live their lives.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's normal to forcibly breed a sentient being into existence, keep them in torturous and painful confinement wallowing in their own excrement for their entire life, and then cut that already traumatized life far short of their natural lifespan by sending them to a slaughthouse to be brutally murdered by a low-paid worker who themself is almost certainly going to develop ptsd from this job, but which they are desperate to keep because they need the money, and are likely to be an immigrant or minor?

If your lifestyle is awful, you're going to keep hearing about it.

Cry me a river, sweetie 😂😂😂

In a meantime I will cook my steak.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think it's amusing how people like you seem to think this really tired old joke about owning the vegan, by emphasizing the eating of animal flesh, does anything other than make you sound like a psychopath.

"Oh try to reduce the amount of animal suffering and abuse in the world, will ya?! What if I intentionally abuse even more animals?!" 🤡

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Steak was excellent. Today I am having a roast chicken. I hope your heavily processed plant pulp is also nice.

[–] remon@ani.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that how it works? In that case I have some business ideas ...

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're a bit late to the party, there's an entire subculture already.

I was thinking bigger. Like, when some farmer wants to sell vegan beef, they could hire a company and they would discreetly supply accidents and natural causes for the farm.
