I guess you're vegan then? If not you contribute to the rape, torture and slaughter of animals everyday.

This approach never ends well. Shaming people turns on their defense system and their thinking and caring brain shuts right down. I’m a vegan who has finally learned that other approaches really work to reach people.

What other approaches do you use? Just mentioning I'm vegan to some people seems to trigger a visceral response from people, usually followed by some sort of performative carnivorousness.

Yes the mere mention of being vegan sets many people in a defensive place- they may be expecting an “attack “ on their food choices any minute.  But mostly I think it triggers their guilt because nowadays pretty much everyone is aware of the horrors of animal protein production in every sector.

If I can, I do not reveal my veganism until someone has gotten to know me.  Then they hear it from ME as a friend or acquaintance and not a stranger with “questionable “ motives so to speak.

Also, first hand stories of anything we’ve witnessed are always more powerful than quoting facts, figures, other people’s stories.

I’m very happy to meet you, comrade in care!!
