Do you have anything else that proves being vegan is an effort in futility?

i’ve never said that. i think if you want to avoid animal products, then doing so is its own reward. but if you want to decrease animal slaughter, it’s ineffective.

i suggest that you go where animals are being slaughtered and stop it.

Reducing animal suffering is the goal. And putting myself in prison wouldnt help anything. Also I doubt american prisons would give me a vegan diet anyways.

The goal is similar to cigarettes. Regulation came about once the general public became aware of the health risks for even non smokers.

Right now its not as well known by the general public how unhealthy diets that are heavy in meat can be.

By being vegan, and making it more normal for those I interact with, it shows broadens what people know about it.

I’m personally banking that americans are so selfish they will reduce meat consumption purely for health/cosmetic reasons alone, like to avoid heart disease or to lose weight.

i didn’t say you should be in prison. i suggested a way you could actually stop animal slaughter.

edit:

i believe in your creativity and resourcefulness, and i think you can come up with a way that effectively and directly reduces slaughter without landing in prison. perhaps if you looked up your local animal liberation front, you would find some allies to help in your endeavor.

Maybe I shouldnt assume. I thought you meant to go to a factory farm and rescue animals. If theres a way to do that without legal risk Im game. Is that what you meant?
