" Well if you don't eat meat , the farm animals like pigs , cows , goat etc.. will be over-populated and both Vegans & Farm Animals will be taking up most of the land to plant your food! "
If there isn't any demand on meat , may i know do you think the farmers would inject artificial hormones into these poor farm animals just to increase their growth or forced them to be pregnant?
Many "non vegans " assume that Vegans and grass-grazing animals are one of the reasons why deforestation happens due to more land are needed for planting crops . Therefore, some people would think it is absolutely normal to consume " Farm animals" to balance out the eco-system and prevent them from over-populating.
Let's take a moment and think ,
How often these animals have sex and get pregnant? Animals are unlike humans when it comes to breeding . I'm pretty sure there's a certain season when animals naturally would crave that " Highness " & " Itchy-ness " to breed. They're not horny err-day.
Honestly if human stops consuming meat , dairy , eggs and other animal product , the workers wouldn't have inject artificial hormones into these animals to increase their population or going against nature by doing cruel actions to the animals just to get them pregnant. Furthermore , if the demand of animal product decrease , the supply of it would decrease too . The workers wouldn't need to artificially breed these animals.
There's another issue I would like to clarify for some people who are not aware about veganism or mistaken Vegans as a short form of " Vegetarian " .
Here's a picture about a common misconceptions between veganism and vegetarianism.
One should not claim they're vegan yet still practice the use of any animal related product.
If a person who's eating a vegan diet but not practicing the vegan lifestyle , it is known as a " Plant-based Diet" .
Instead of saying, " I'm Vegan " ( which clearly you may not be due to you're using leather or using any animal related product etc ) you could say " My diet is plant-based " or " I consumed only plant-based food " .
In time to come, you could slowly eliminate animals related product . But how are we going to do that?
Simple. Try looking out for the " Vegan " symbol on the product you're about to purchase. If the word " Vegan " isn't stated , instead look for the word " Cruelty-free " . If both are not stated or no symbols are shown , read the ingredients or try searching up online for substitute products that are vegan :)
If you're still unsure about veganism , please do check out " Cowspiracy " to veg-ducate yourself or you could check out my other post about Veganism. I'll link them below .
