i mean whats hard to understand that there is like probably no religion or culture where its stayed exactly the same for years and no one within those culture and religion has different views
and BECAUSE a whole culture or religion is diverse in people and not clones, then only said individuals can determine what is needed to be connected to their culture or religion.
if you try and tell them no, they are wrong and they DON'T need something- then you are saying that your view is the right view- even with evidence or morals attached. which has never been a good thing
Bc again im talking individuals.
If someone feels it connects them to their god to use an animal or ties them to their culture, you have to accept that
bc like i know animals are sentient. but at the end of the day if there was a cute kitten and a human child and you had to save one im sure majority of people would save the human.
that doesnt mean they are less than. but if someone regardless of knowing sentience, personally feels that is needed to connect, to eat them or use them then you have to draw a line on who you accept and who you dont
if its for survival but not anything else then what counts as survival? for you to not die? because taking away someones personal way of connecting to their culture or religion could end up in their death.
which is why those ppl can do wtvr the fuck they want, and could even still be called vegan if they are doing what they can
bc im not about to draw lines on cultures and religions im not part of. that i have no idea others connection and spirituality and history and even whether or not their religion is real
like it ties in with being a smaller part of the population, hat in the future, would continue using animals
if we were to fix economy and the enviroment and distribution of everything and education and alternatives for animal products and everything is rainbows
there would still be some people that require that/need animal use in their INDIVIDUAL view on their culture or religion. like you could even say scientifically. because emotions and mental health etc
anyway im really high rn i hope this is coherent
and idk i just feel like recognizing those people who need animals, helps them feel more comfortable and not judged
whether they end up vegan (vegan society definition) or not, they can maybe not actively fight against us bc of what they think veganism is.
and not as some strategy to lure people in, i just genuinely love people. and i support marginalized cultures and religions??
again
every culture and religion ia going to have someone who does things differently or has a different view. thats how things become traditions and part of a culture these things didnt pop out of thin air
but you cant force it or else thats colonialism and that is bad 👎
Anyway i support the vegans that are already doing the most, yet still have/need to use animals. And that includes your individual view about your culture/religion.
i hope this makes sense
