'I wish I had never been born'

One of the excuses vegans hear quite a lot is something along the lines of  'but at least the animals had a life, being born is better than not even being born at all'.

Being born into a life of misery - snatched from your mother within two days, being kept isolated to fatten up for veal or to become bacon or to grow up and live a few years as a dairy cow with all the implications of that (forcibly impregnated, baby taken from mother, hooked up to painful machinery to extract her milk meant for her calf, killed between 4 and 6 years when she could live a full life of between 18 and 20 years) etc, is not a life worth living.

Place this same argument on a dog bred for fighting. Or worse - a dog bred as dog fighting bait. Does anyone think that it's better that a dog is born simply to experience human betrayal and a life of pain and misery?

My final argument is that if anyone believes that being born is better than not being born at all - you wouldn't eat eggs. Why are you depriving a life being born at all when you eat eggs?

The hypocrisy of the arguments for animal agriculture are simply inane.

It's hot today, right? Imagine....

Non vegans - been struggling with the heat the past few days? Suffered from sunstroke? Been dehydrated? Felt like you were about to faint?
Just for a minute, imagine what it must be like to be crammed onto a concentration camp truck in this scorching heat, packed shoulder to shoulder with your friends and family. Sick, injured, vomiting, disease ridden and dehydrated you are being driven many, many miles to your execution (without so much as a drop of water) where you will spend your final moments in agony, wondering what you have ever done to deserve so much pain and torment.
Imagine that your only crime is that you were not born a human and that your very existence and suffering is mocked, laughed at and trivialised with others valuing your life less than their tastebuds.
Non vegans, welcome to the world of your victims. Welcome to the world of chickens, pigs, cows, lambs, turkeys and ducks.
When you get sunstroke, faint or start to get dehydrated, you will generally have someone come to your help. You will generally be able to find some shade/drink some water/find an air conditioned place/turn on a fan. For the animals, there is no respite. There is no end to their suffering and there is no one to help them. They must suffer right until the very end, right until their lives are taken from them.
If I had to endure that they do, I would look forward to the moment my life is taken from me. I would wish for it every second of every single day, for the pain to just finally stop and for my life to be over.
It is your money that is funding this madness, non vegans. You can directly help put an end to this massacre, the largest massacre in history. All you have to do is leave animal corpses and the things that come out of animals (milk + milk based foods, eggs, honey) off your plate and their skin off your body. How hard is that? Is the 'pain', discomfort and inconvenience that you will endure by giving up cheese, milk, eggs and meat worse than the suffering of that 'spent' dairy cow being driven to the slaughterhouse because she can no longer produce profitable amounts of 'organic', 'free range', 'humane' milk?
Again, imagine if it was you or your mother, father, brother or sister on that extermination truck today, yesterday or on Sunday. No one deserves that. You would not wish what happens to cows, pigs, chickens, lambs, turkeys and ducks on your worst enemy.
Your worst nightmares put together would not add up to be a fraction of what these animals endure.
You don't have to love animals to agree that is wrong to do this to them. I am not an animal lover. You simply have to be against unnecessary violence towards others and against exploiting and abusing those at our mercy. What we put billions of animals through each and every year is a gross injustice, the most horrific act of injustice in history. You can either be a part of it or be vegan, and fight to put an end to it.
Please, have mercy on them.

Veganism is a white-privileged thing...

"Veganism is a white-privileged thing."
If only the people who spewed this drivel realised how harmful to POC and poor people this actually is.
Are we supposed to believe that ONLY white and/or privileged people are capable of behaving ethically? Is compassion and decency solely a white trait, and do only the rich understand what it means to be a good person?
Given that the type of people who use this phrase generally associate oppressive behaviour to white people, I'm not quite sure what they're trying to achieve here. If anything, surely a more logical statement for them to make would be, "Since rich white people are oppressors, veganism is very much a non-privileged POC thing".
Seeing as veganism is about abstaining from oppression, calling veganism a "white-privileged thing" is as nonsensical as calling anti racism, anti homophobia, and anti sexism a "white-privileged thing".

You think your country doesn't abuse animals? Think again....

Another excellent post from George Martin:

This is a message to all my fellow human beings, worldwide.
I just want you to know—whatever your race, gender, religion, sexuality, or nationality, wherever you are—that your country is an animal-abusing shit-hole.
As I am tired of hearing comment after comment by people who want to deny that animals are treated like shit in their country, I have decided to compile a list of videos from many of your beloved utopias. My hope from this is that people can finally wake up and realise that the idea of "This doesn't happen here in ____" is a steaming pile of shit. Animal abuse, whether people want to admit it or not, is a WAY OF LIFE for all countries on this earth. For as long as animals are seen as sources of food and clothing, they will continue to be treated this way by the respective animal-abusing torture chambers you call home.
So without further ado, please see the videos I've complied from each country below. Feel free to spread this post far and wide to combat those in denial about the moral crimes that their country and its people are complicit in. Oh, and for the inhabitants of any countries I've left off the list, don't worry—I think your country is a piece of shit too. Many thanks.

(Please note: the number of videos a country has in the above list is NOT reflective of its comparison to other countries in the list with regards to animal abuse. Certain countries had videos that were easier to locate than others. All countries on the above list, and all countries not included on the list, participate in the systematic abuse of animals on a daily basis.)

(Further note: with regards to the less developed countries in the above list, I do not care for any apologist comments talking about how much harder it is for them, etc. All the acts you see above are acts of abhorrent savagery, plain and simple. If children are off-limits from being harmed by the people in the less developed countries above, so too are animals. In any case, the most important thing here is to show those living in the developed countries listed that animal abuse is a way of life there as well as in the poorer ones.)
