Good for you. I'm sure that makes you feel really good about yourself.
I wonder though, do you think the animals care about your integrity or whether your message actually affects change?
I don't agree with the guy necessarily but he's right, this is the type of change you're not gonna slowly convive people to, there needs to be some schock value involved. Also, if you accept his framing, eating meat is akin to genocide not murder. People tend to have strong reactions to that.
Did people stop smoking as soon as they learned it was bad for them or did they stop smoking when it became a social faux pas?
Feel free to give cuddles and hugs and ask nicely for people to change their ways, but I’ll do something else thank you.
