Animal farmers are much more likely to prevent this specific famine - when you're displaced from your home, there is no chance you'll harvest and bring your crops. There is a chance you can bring some animals with you.

I understand your point, but there's a time and place for that, and that is absolutely not here.

This is the time, any later and it's too late.

Stop pretending you are the voice of reason when really you're just selfish and lazy.

You, personally, are a net negative voice for this movement. If you never spoke of veganism again, you'd have a more positive impact than if you continue what you're doing. The way you're acting is responsible for the deaths of more animals than you're preventing.

Genuinely amazing how commited you are as to lying to yourself. Pretend that I'm the problem. Wow. I don't care if I change your mind, I have very little doubt about that. I've tried, but I'm still allowed my platform the same way you are, or don't you believe in free speech?

Yeah, I can see how you're trying - even if I wanted to, I couldn't pretend to be a worse activist than you are. But sure, keep killing those innocents with your cowardly behaviour - after all, you have FREE SPEECH! And those darn innocents, who are they to tell you what to say and not say?

One day you'll realise how shitty a human you are, choosing to eat our only companions in this universe.

You, personally, are responsible for more animal deaths than I could ever be. You're either incredibly stupid, or you know how ineffective and negative your activism is, yet you choose to still pursue it because it makes you feel good to think of yourself as better than others. You could also just be an incredibly evil person, but you don't seem like you' have the mental capacity for that.

You're not doing this for animals or humans. You're doing this for yourself, despite all the innocent animals you're responsible for murdering through your misguided activism.

Wow lie more to yourself. Your accusations and denials mean nothing to me.

Now is the time. You sound like the people who complain about calls for gun laws after mass shootings.

Dude, there is no food shortage due to too much animal farming in this conflict. There is food shortage because one state is trying to genocide the people of another state. Even if all of Palestine and the whole world were fully vegan, Gazans wouldn't have more to eat.

Please explain to me how your point is in any way applicable. You are literally making vegans look stupid, and I'm saying that as someone who is trying to move closer and closer towards veganism. Imagine you posted this under a news article regarding a school shooting - would you think that's the right place and time to post this, even if the time is now?
