Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

if you're not vegan, you're part of the problem
You can take the fried beagle out of my cold, dead hands.
Get a load of this reformed beagle-eater here. Good on you for stopping eating dog, but most of us don't share that life-challenge.
I think that's somewhat of a pedantic place to draw a line in the sand. I could just as correctly claim that if you aren't committed to civil disobedience and are still paying taxes, then you are part of the problem. You are vegan, but you're still supporting a government that spends hundreds of millions of dollars perpetuating animal cruelty on a daily basis?
Just because you aren't vegan doesn't mean you can't believe that animals should be treated in a more ethical manner. Veganism is a imperfect human construct filled with internal contradictions based on western interpretation of ethics and cultural mores.
I bet that person also buys products that are either based on stuff that has had animal testing or actively does it. Bet they're vaccinated.
I have never been persuaded to loathe myself as much as I am now, after reading your comment. Thank you.
It's insane how colonial veganism has become. It's quite possible to be thankful to the animals and plants that give their lives to sustain you and quite eurocentric to view those two positions as incompatible.
You need to open your eyes to the real world friend.

It is extremely awesome that you read "some cultures treat meat consumption differently" and replied, "you're wrong" without any further comprehension of that difference. That is an excellent demonstration of how bull headed colonizers can be when pushing an agenda.
It's excellent to see how proudly you wear that chip on your shoulder. You are wrong, and me pointing out there are 250 million Indians who are vegan shows how wrong you are. Lose the hate, get with the program.
3 animal abusers are upset lol.
based on your posts, you've convinced me to shoot squirrels with a pellet gun all afternoon.
it won't kill them, not quickly. But I figure making a couple dozen animals suffer and die a slow death in my neighbour's yard will create a nice balance.
Username relevant, fortunately your inbreed bosseye means you won't hit shit.
tell that to the 3 squirrel corpses in my neighbour's yard.
You're right, it's just so hard because it's all I've known and it's everywhere around me 😔
When steak stops tasting good, or they finally nail lab grown meat at a low enough cost, maybe I’ll join you.
Ok show me the plant I can use to test how drugs interact with living cells to determine their mechanisms of action in the human body, I'll wait. You'd better not be taking any pills or going to the doctor ever after putting this shit take on the internet, because every drug product in use today has been tested on animals, with good reason. We need to know how this shit works, and I don't see your ass lining up to be a test subject so we're using a dog or rat or monkey.
Plants scream in terror and pain, too.
