In my opinion there is nothing wrong with eating meat, nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, nothing wrong with being a vegan. As long as you are happy and healthy then fine.

But why oh why do some vegans take it upon themselves to be so rude & overly graphic about their choices, shoving it down everyone's throats.

I know this has been done to death but recently an old school mate has been posting this sort of vitriol on Facebook (have since unfriended!) but in the next photo his cat is eating meaty chunks..... erm?

Gah! Gotta hate a zombie thread...

I'm a vegan and I don't force my opinions down anybody's throat. If anything, my experience is that people are rude to me, not the other way around. I've lost count of the carrots have feelings too bollocks I've heard over the years.

Ah shit, it's a zombie. That'll teach me for preaching my vegan preachiness on a zombie 😂

I've never met a pushy vegan, but plenty of Omni's who are complaining about vegans and are the pushy ones about they can choose for themselves etc. Funny that

can u please settle this question as you will know as it's brought up a lot. In the UK, what do u do with the male calves born from your dairy herd as they cannot grow to be dairy cattle and are from the wrong bloodline to go for meat as far as I'm aware?

New vegans are like ex smokers. Complete nightmares. They believe there entitled to treat every catch up as an opportunity to educate us 'thick' meat eaters. An assumption that no one would eat meat if they know the 'truth' and therefore feeling entitled to ram it down the throats of those that choose to eat it. As clearly we are uneducated buffoons. I was a vegetarian for over 12yrs, no one knew about it, I didn't feel the need to explain my eating habits to anyone else unless I was going for dinner of course. I have no issue about those that wish to protest about better conditions for animals which I totally support.
