I eat meat. It's either fish I catch and kill myself, or 4H cattle. I'm pretty sure it involves less animal suffering than someone eating factory farmed chickens, no? If you care about animal suffering, shouldn't you encourage people to take steps in the right direction?

Add people who “only buy meat from my uncle’s farm” and “i fish my own fish ” and “i hunt my meat” to the “I know a vegan who almost died” box. If you care about animal suffering you can’t go out and kill them for a sandwich.

Why do you think killing an animal always means suffering? Aren't there no ways to kill an animal without causing them any suffering?

How killing something that doesn’t want to die will not be suffering. Do you inderstand that you are arguing that it’s right to take a life for 5 mins of sensory pleasure?

And how many animals die from crop farming ?

How many bees have to die for your beloved almond milk ?

Living creature aren’t only cow beef sheep and chicken…

Add that to the box too, what do you think farm animals eat, grass? 80% of global edible crops are fed to livestock, so if your concern is crop deaths, stop eating meat ASAP. As for almond milk, I don’t even remember last time i had some, oat is much better.
