I know quite a few vegans who aren't militant. In fact the first vegan I became friends with well over a decade ago was as down to earth as can be.

I've known vegans who were super pushy too.

Glad to hear you thought that. Tbh it kinda pissed me off a little. lol But yeah, it sounds like she has some growing up to do for sure.

Yeah, or that there are still thousand of people who die from hunger every day and that, whether some silly bleeding hearts on the Internet like it or not, over two-thirds of the land we get food from worldwide can't actually grow crops on it. Only animals. That's a huge amount. So... I don't know how they propose that we get rid of livestock, or why we should.

Plus honestly farmers cop enough **** and barely make any money even without people making up random BS facts about how American livestock farms make 18% of greenhouse gase emissions (which is untrue) or that growth hormones in milk are the end of the world (even though the exact same ones already naturally occur in milk anyway, but again, these people don't base things off science it seems so whatever, like you said you can't really explain this crap to them - they don't bother listening...).

And also - speaking of farms - ask them where fertilizers come from, as well. Because you definitely need those on a farm and if you're not using synthetic fertilizers that take a lot of energy to produce you're using animal manure. Which comes from livestock.

That's great! Good to hear from you again. :hug: I was a bit worried, aha.

Know the feels, dude. Sorry to hear. :/ Hope things get better.

Seems like the disciplinary went okay for him. I just hope he learns from this, to think before he rants about people.

Some good points there GG. No wonder she scarpered and deleted us so quickly! You've hit on some pretty good points like us, so she must of not had any come back. I'm fine with people being vegans, just not preaching to those who eat meat/dairy saying how awful they were. Like I stated in my post, I eat meat yet I helped raise £5000 for two animal charities last month. So I hate animals? Um... nope. Lol.

Hope there isn't too much drama over there Si. Work drama is never fun.

I'm glad I went round to see my friend today. She's a depression/anxiety sufferer so it was nice to talk to someone face to face who understands where I'm coming from.

I just realized something.

If you stop watching the lion king at 'be prepared' mufasa never dies. If you play the movie backwards the story is about a king who tries to get out of a fight with his uncle, moves to the jungle, shrinks in size, has his dad float in midair back up to a cliff, runs into a stampede herd which then vanishes as he rawrs at a lizard, tries to get back home with nala, and the african animals do the moonwalk after seeing a monkey hold a baby lion.

I'm looking forward to getting home, catching up on Emmerdale and seeing what all the fuss was about with tonight's episodes.

Oh my goodness, I just found out that my school does old-fashioned cattle drives on horseback up at their 6000-acre beef cattle station. With castration and hot-iron branding and everything.

HELL YEAH I WANNA DO IT SIGN ME UP
