Myth #4: You dont have to be vegan to be an animal lover. If eat you meat and other animal products and yet you are disturbed by people beating dogs, killing cats, or other countries eating these animals, you are a hypocrite. At best, you are a speciesist (like a racist, but instead of thinking a certain race is better than others, you believe a certain species is better than others). There is absolutely no reason why one animal should be loved in a safe, warm home while the others should be deemed to a life of rape, murder, and torture on a massive scale. Just like your pet Fluffy, pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, and fish can feel pain and fear. They are not stupid, they are aware of the pain that is inflicted upon them. They tremble with fear, they flinch while being beaten, they cry when their babies are taken from them. They want nothing but to live a healthy life but we do not allow them to. For whatever reason, we decide that certain animals lives are lower than others and therefore, they are justified to die at our whim and for our taste preferences. In many cases, these animals that we allow to be beaten, raped, and tortured are smarter and more social than your pet. Please, do not post a story about a dog being abused and exclaim your surprise and disgust before you bite into your cheeseburger because clearly, you are not concerned about animal abuse. If you claim to love animals, love all animals, not just your pet.
