Reply to comment by masnosreme in Protesters gather in Vancouver after secret video allegedly reveals actions of animal cruelty at B.C. slaughterhouse by Ophelia-Yup

Wait until you find out there's no such thing as a vegan. Do you know how many rodents and larger herbivores get killed protecting crops?

A vegan is someone who doesn't eat anything that comes from an animal. They eat a plant, nut, no animal diet. But, pretending that them not eating meat harms no animals is missing a crucial point. Animals do get killed to make sure those crops grow.

That's also not what vegan is but feel free to build yet another strawman. Looking up a definition isn't that hard.

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
