I believe most vegans like animals. Yeah, yeah, carnists, we know your "with ketchup" shit, forget you!
Now what I wanted to struggle you people with...why the fuck do some vegans have pets? Animal stores are a fuck, 100 gorillion dead animals, but unironically! The so called conformation of animals, and the forced breeding, that's just dystopian! And you can adopt, not shop, but most do not! And outdoor cats, that's a catastrophe, especially with vegans! (Sorry for the levity, I know it's serious, but it is the Hexbear injoke)
They make money selling living beings, why would a vegan pay them!?
Sorry for the rant. Vegan btw, I think all animal industries should be shut down, including animal shops! Maybe assistance animals can be an exception, if they can be trained ethically!
What do you think?
I assumed it was only the rich who actually went out and bought a pet. Much easier cheaper and more ethical to rescue no? Or even go to the pound? I just assumed that was more common because that's all I've known. Am I in the minority?
Unfortunately, at least in my neck of woods, it is normal to buy animals. Think about it, how many animals shops do you encounter in shopping centers, versus animal centers?
Yeah I suppose that's true, it's definitely quite the industry unfortunately
