He is Vegan. Irrespective of how we feel about what he did, the failure to address his core ethical beliefs is completely unacceptable. This would never occur if his belief was rooted in ideas of a higher being or afterlife. Not that I’m planning on going to jail anytime soon, but the thought that I would not be able to abide by that daily practice of my life would be incredibly distressing. Unless he is doing it for environmental reasons (I don’t know) he likely seeks total animal liberation, and you’re going to force feed him stolen animal secretions? Coproducts of dead baby cows and beings bred into painful bodies? The alternative is malnutrition? I would highly consider Jainism or Sikhism on this fact alone. Fuck you if you think he should be forced to go against his ethical beliefs.

Nobody said the guy is entirely ethical ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I don’t think being forced to facilitate death is the answer to him not being ethical with people’s funds.

So you aren’t killing the plants and vegetables you eat as a vegan?

Or you perceive no ethical quandaries about murdering plants?

Or plants don’t count because they don’t have the same type of nervous system that allows us to communicate in an ethically direct fashion?

Are trees ethically more important than plants you can ethically eat, thus perceived as more ethically protected under such auspices?

And what’s your ethical stance on property development groups clear cutting small pine tree forested areas near existing residential/industrial/commercial zoned areas to create more affordable single family and multi-family homes for low income families?

Pro tip to everyone on the internet. If you find yourself writing this, please shut the fuck up.

Yeah, can’t be out here forcing cultists to think about what they’re actually saying

Vegans are all well aware the philosophy is about reducing suffering for sentient beings. Nobody thinks “being alive” is an ethical metric. Rather, the bad faith argument about “plants feel pain” (which is absolute horse shit) is constantly spouted like it’s some kind of refutation of veganism. Not to mention this idiotic “cultist” slur that’s leveraged to make it seem like veganism isn’t the single approach that’s actually grounded in reality.

And if that means brigading and defending pieces of shit who rob other human beings of their life savings, giving bad faith arguments, deconstructing justice as a fundamental concept and in general being a bunch of fucking cultists, who cares. You’ll happily accuse people who want to see people like him be punished, even in a court of law, of being subhuman savages while happily acting as if the ends justify the means to enforce your evil ideological bullshit. And who cares who is harmed by your words and actions? People don’t matter, animals do.
