An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Sure, but why eat them?
Why not? There's many benefits.
You already said that they suffer. Isn't that a good reason to not do it? I assume you wouldn't want somebody to kill and eat you, either.
Well yes but I a) ascribe to most animals a lower level of consciousness to humans and b) am very biased when it comes to that in as I don't want for anyone or anything to kill me.
