What are your thoughts?! 👀💭

I KNOW I might get some hate from the vegan community for this… but hear me out! 😬

If we keep debating and calling people out, who really suffers? The animals we’re fighting for. 💔

No matter why someone chooses veganism, selfish or not, isn’t it still better for the animals? 🐮🐔🐷

Then why gatekeep the word just for the sake of the movement, when it might actually hurt the movement more? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I first went vegan for the environment since I was already an environmentalist. 🌱

If I had been shamed for that, I might’ve given up and gone back to eating meat. 😞

Instead, I had the time and space to learn… and within months, I became an ethical vegan too. 🫶

Yes, people who go vegan for non-ethical reasons are more likely to quit.

But maybe, instead of shaming them, we can support them?

Who knows—they might turn into lifelong ethical vegans, just like I did. 🤍

Let’s be kind to humans too, while we’re being kind to animals. 🥹✨

What do you think? 👇 Let’s discuss!

🔄 Share this to more VEGANS so that we can stop the shaming!

Going vegan for the health or environment is like a man abstaining from violating women's rights because he's scared that he might go to jail.

Many people turn vegan for environment or health reasons, but many are not able to continue with it, or they find it hard, or they simply choose convenience or taste. Thats why it's called going plant based, coz veganism is purely out of ethical reasons of compassion, to put an end to cruelty. When people turn vegan out of ethics, the chances of quitting it is almost negligible.

Respectfully disagree. "Vegan" and "Plant based" mean different things. Of course, someone who is "plant based" can, like you, transition to veganism. There is need for clarity.

That’s not true: Wr plant eaters are whole plant eaters dig free rent from vegans, but it is OK I get your point.

Disagree only w.r.t cows. They can breed in gow shaalas, farmer's house. It's fine. What's wrong in it. In fact the calf after initial months can take little rice/roti with mother's milk. And we can share it too. The problem is industrial farming. So let's over generalize for cows. Ayurveda has suggested many medicinal quantities in gow mutra and milk products. And cow dung is really good for manure.

If someone is going vegan for their health then they’ll probably still use silk, wool, leather. But veganism is against killing or harming any animals and is a lifestyle not a diet. But yes if they’re having a plant based diet that already makes so much difference in an animal’s life and reduces their suffering. So yes it doesn’t matter what we call them or not but what really matters to me is that they’re reducing animal suffering even tho they’re doing it for their own benefit still it helps our friends and that’s what all matters.

The problem with people who are plant based only for health reasons is if they feel they are not getting enough nutrients they will easily switch back to a non plant based diet. If you are vegan for anil
