Maybe because it's a biased POV, that doesn't take into account that the isssue is simply being human, nobody can call themselves out or blame some activity more than others.
For example many vegans and animalists own pets to "save them from cruelty"
But
Loss and others of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that free-ranging domestic cats (mostly unowned) are the top human-caused threat to wildlife in the United States, killing an estimated 1.3 to 3.7 billion birds and 6.3 to 22.3 billion mammals annually.
And that's only in the US...
Wild life is a constant threat to our life style, like it or not, being a modern human in modern society means being responsible for animal suffering even if you don't personally eat them.
For example in my country the war on hunters (mainly by radical animalists) produced that
Roughly 2.3 million wild boars roam around Italy, with roughly 20,000 in the area of Rome, according to farm trade group Coldiretti. And while African swine fever can't be transmitted to humans, it can infect and kill domestic pigs
- sweetheart 4y agoNothing about what you said is antithetical to veganism, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.
- peoplefromibiza 4y agowell, this is the reason why people downvote these comments. muslims don't eat pork, Hindu don't eat cows, every religion impose dietary restriction, doesn't mean that non believers have to follow them. Veganism is no exception to the rule: if you believe you're reducing animal suffering, good for you, go on with your religion and be happy. But in truth you aren't, vegans kill a lot of animals too, there are billions of people in the World that cause much less damages than us westerners, even if we lived only on rainwater and rocks. So you might be a "true vegan (TM)" but you aren't better for the environment or for animal suffering than anybody else. That's what I was trying to say.

- sweetheart 4y agoThis is a string of silly arguments. There are loads of videos debunking the points you try to make here, you should watch them.
- peoplefromibiza 4y agoThere is also a string of videos saying otherwise. I believe in science and data, not videos. I'm not into "videos that corroborate my opinions" religion. sorry.
