How is it any people cannot put themselves in that place with imagining? Even animals could identify with what would not be desirable. Humans should have the sensibility to know they would not want what the animals being used are put through, we can likewise choose to not have anything to do with that, and we can already find out ourselves that there are ways to be very healthy this way without products from animals. And the same amount of use of resources for it and contribution to damage to environments with loss of species does not need to be continued then. https://healthyaging.emory.edu/could-eating-30-plants-a-week-be-the-answer-to-better-health/

    Or, perhaps, just maybe, they don’t enjoy being vilified by people that claim moral high ground over a choice?

      Remember, no one is born vegan.

      My personal experience was, in fact, that I was mad at vegans for making me think about it. I find most people, when pressed, feel that hurting animals is wrong and sometimes will even admit it. That’s why so many of them are obsessed with the future being lab-grown meat, they’d rather be able to eat flesh without hurting anyone.

      I bet that applies to you, too. If we could grow lab grown bacon, which tastes exactly the same as flesh from a pig, you’d choose it every time. I doubt you actually want to hurt pigs.
