Itsy-bitsy vegan!wank
Not that huge, but still amusing.
justlisten writes in the guinea_pigs community on LJ:
"how many of you are vegetarians/vegans? the reason i feel this is related is, a lot of you (including myself) have rescued guinea pigs, and do what we can to not support pet stores and to not support cruelty to animals. do you apply this to the rest of your life?
personally, i have been a vegetarian for about 4 years.. unfortunately, i took a break for a few months where i did eat meat. it was a bad choice and i deeply regret it. i plan to become a vegan in the next year. however, when my boyfriend and i first got our guinea pigs.. and ever since then, my boyfriend has been much more interested in animal rights. now he is a vegetarian, and is hoping to become a vegan very soon. i think that owning animals, (especially any animal that is consumed for food in certain places), makes you realize that animals deserve a place in the world too.
if this is unrelated, i'm sorry.. but i feel like it kind of does relate. when i see a cow, it is no different from my 3 guinea pigs at home. it is living, breathing, feeling, loving.. it deserves to live."
Everything seems to be going along okay until a few people disagree and someone else points out that a vegan diet isn't always an option. The OP bares her fangs. Predictably, it escalates, the OP makes a few "OMG eating meat means you like to make animals suffer!!1" posts, and eventually the PETA is mentioned.
If you'll all excuse me, I'm off to rape a cow eat a steak dinner.
