I'd love for that to happen. But I fear as long as eating animals is as accepted in society as it is today, this'll take a long time.
Fight the good fight though, my dude.
I really wish Facebook would ban pictures of dead animals people have hunted. It's horrible when it comes on your feed.
Same for Instagram! People just sharing how much meat they eat as a family and how proud they are that it tastes good..
Hate it. One friend of mine on Facebook I unfriended when they posted a bunch of geese he had shot, and when I objected he said "well I love ya but if it flies it dies". Like WTF is wrong with your mind? How is that a sport?
Lots of downvotes from people presumably not a part of this community
That's the fun of the local feed
@nm @vegan I hope so too, also just photos of dead animals, period. The pictures of douchebags with the animals they killed, etc.
My local paper put a photo of a dead deer on the cover once for some story, and I still can't understand how something like that makes it through a whole editorial process, but I guess that is the world we live in. For now. :hope:
Same, same. Whenever I go on YouTube on my phone, I always get slapped with at least one carcass ad. Like, no, thank you, I didn't particularly want to see a mutilated animal corpse.
Uncooked animal flesh too. Just no thanks to all of it
Should there be a vegan instance? That way there would be no meat there
@Blaze Yes, there is the Veganism.Social instance, which I am posting from
Oh, that's nice, but I mean a Lemmy instance. Couldn't find any using lemmyverse.net anyway
It’s banned on vegantheory and veganismsocial
I hope it will be without suffering when I die someday. After that, if it made ecological sense, I wouldn't mind if my body was eaten by whatever or whoever.
Suffering is bad for all animals (including humans) so reduction of suffering is an important goal. Yet, nature doesn't work toward this goal ; only humans (+some sentient beings?) do.
Unfortunately, this is not the only goal we have to pursue.
Would you mind being eaten ?

Welcome
Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.
What is Veganism?
'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'
— abridged definition from The Vegan Society
