My Perspective as Someone Unsure About Vegetarianism

2 stars

I didn't entirely agreed with every argument against veganism in this. Quite frankly the "murder isnt hierarchical." argument is just weird as hell. However the main one I agree on & even thought about myself was the consumerist savior approach to animal liberation. I still don't think eating meat is moral. But I also don't think avoiding animal products does much to liberate them when things like faux-fur & chemical fertilizers contribute to environmental collapse. Plus it's hard to consistently boycott animal products if you have meat-eating pets.
