Why I am not a vegan

[anagogy]

What's wrong with violent imagery? If killing animals is no big deal, then why not watch how it's done? Why not face what one is supporting?

Because you think it is black and white and it is only done one way, by abusing the animal.  That is not so, as I've repeatedly explained.

I don't have time right now to go back to all the old posts, but the general response from many people is "oh you are judging...you are controlling...you are preaching...you are trying to make me feel guilty." blah blah blah

You accidentally misquoted this as being my words.

Ooops, I forgot...they don't matter of course. They are only '2D' so they don't matter. It's fine to mutilate them without anesthesia, keep them confined their entire lives, unable to even turn around, rape them, steal their babies, feed them drugs so they are in constant pain, scald them and pluck their fur or feathers while they are still awake and conscious...all of that is ok because they are 'only 2D.'

I don't believe anybody here said they supported animal abuse.  You just assume animal abuse in all situations of killing animals, which is just not necessarily true in my opinion.  Agree to disagree.

This place is just a farce. Yes, it's a farce. Spiritual BS. Yes, I'm venting right now, and I don't apologize for it. I guess if it bothers anyone they will just have to 'accept' it. But I think all the talk about being Wanderers - 6D Wanderers! - is total BS, when people can't even understand basic compassion, and continually defend the senseless violence towards sentient beings. It's disgusting.

I disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion.  Everybody is doing the best they can with what they know.  There will always be beings eating other beings, even if you convince the entire world that it is wrong.  Is your house made out of wood per chance?  Or your furniture?  Aren't trees capable of being enspirited (a late 2D being)?  Did you ask their permission?  There is no difference.

Life feeds on life.  Be the example you want to be, and let others be the example they want to be.
