I agree with you, but this is definitely not an argument you want to go into because it caused an absolute massive shitshow. Check out the top pinned post on Lemmy.world.
Sure, but the average person does not know or care about the distinction. It’s much easier to explain this way. I’ll see if I can incorporate this terminology instead next time though
I am mostly vegan and my cat and dog eat mostly meat 🖕
That you for being reasonable and not insane.
vegans care about animals. I assure you it is the norm
I realized that was likely true, but the ones who aren’t are just so damn loud about it.
I have met far more people complaining loudly about vegans than I have loud vegans
Yep. My vegan brother has two dogs and three cats and has no problem giving them meat (or meat-based food anyway) as part of their diet.
It’s not some universal idea that vegans will be okay with keeping meat-eating pets but refuse to give them that meat.
No it’s not a universal idea, but it does happen and it is animal abuse when it does.

I did see that shitshow you refer to.
Vegan is a philosophy, not a diet. The word you’re looking for is plant-based, not vegan.
A vegan wouldn’t buy leather shoes or woolen sweaters. Someone on a plant-based diet would.
