Vegans, if there is a person who becomes a veggie or more important a vegan?!
Answers: for health reasons, but could give two fat sh!ts less about animal rights, do you feel less about them or dismiss their rants. I mean do you have to be hard core loving animals like they were your son bambi, to be a vegan? I think there may be lots of vegans who care less about worms, bees or animals for that matter... what do you think?
I personally know a guy who doesn't care about animals. He has been vegan for years and is even very high up in an animal rights group. But he is a full psycho and has ulterior motives for his position. Freud would have loved this guy!!!
So yeah it's possible- but anybody who wasn't concerned about cruelty would rarely go as far as being a vegan for very long, because it requires discipline and commitment. I know lots of 'former vegans' for whom life got too inconvenient.
There probably are Vegans that do not care about animals... And because of my belief in Animal Rights that does not mean I look down on others that do it for other reasons. The way I see it is, if the meat industry is not getting the money and the vegetable industry is I do not mind the reasons behind doing it.
Now don't get me wrong I am a Animal Rights Activist but I care more about the animals then petty differences over inspiration.
I do it for health and all those you feel like its for the animals most animals that we eat were not made by God or Nature. they were made by man through hybridization or cloning( we call it today) so whats the big deal. and many will probably kill a bug are something. so whats up?
gas is over three dollars a gallon and you are wondering about vegans and veggie's
My family went mostly-vegan for a couple of months when I was in my early teens, and not because of animal rights. My mom wanted to save some $$ and also was on a health kick and wanted to see if a mostly-raw foods diet was all it was cracked up to be. It wasn't, @ least not for us. My dad, who is definitely a meat and potatoes kind of guy, finally told her that he didn't mind paying a little extra $$ to have meat on a daily basis, instead of just 2 or 3 times per week.
So that was a reason why we went mostly-vegan for awhile.
I think if I were to do that ever again, it wouldn't be because I was all about animal rights, but just because sometimes the thought of eating something that used to run around and poop and stuff is kind of gross.. lol
whatever reason, just get there and stay there! -
People who are vegan for health and not for animal rights reasons have very valid points. Whatever a person does to further their health or the health of the planet is a good one.
If more people went vegan for health we would see less cases of diabetes, certain cancers (breast, colon, prostate), asthma, obesity, heart disease, colitis, respiratory illness, etc.
I am a vegan BUT I am not necessarily an animal lover.
I am vegan simply because it is unfair what people are doing to animals. Animals have every right to live just as we do. I always try to live by the saying "Treat others as they would treat you." Since most animals would leave me alone, I think it's only natural to give them the same kindness.
I think if you become a vegan it's just because of health reasons, because milking a cow or gathering infertile eggs from a nest isn't cruelty. Vegetarians are mostly in it because of both ethical and health reasons.
I think people become vegans and vegetarians for their own individual reasons, and it's not my place to judge their motives for doing so. It's not anyone's place to judge other people's choices or lifestyles.
Do I feel less about them? No. I don't think less of meat-eaters for their dietary choices, so I certainly don't think less of people who are simply dietary vegans rather than vegans for animal welfare reasons.
You don't have to be 'hard core loving animals' to be vegan; I'm not really an animal lover myself; but I choose to minimise my contribution to their suffering.
I went vegan both for health and ethical reasons; some other vegans will have gone vegan for one or other of these reasons and many for both.
Whichever reason, it doesn't make their decision somehow 'less'.
What do *I* think?
I think you're trolling.
Vegans do love animals. You probably wanted everyone to say ''Oh my gosh!'' but nobody is bothered.
