Getting out of hand

I've been noticing lately a mass influx of petty arguments over eating meat. I don't get it. Is it so much to ask to not be berated because I happen to eat how humans are *supposed* to eat, a mixture of ALL food types? Every night when I look at the feed all I see is stuff like this. It's depressing! I come here for ponies, roleplay, and friends.

Now, let me make something VERY clear:

I do NOT support eating only plants/not eating anything from animals, HOWEVER, if you DO, I RESPECT YOUR CHOICE.

DO NOT criticize me for my lifestyle choices. Because let me be honest. You wouldn't want me criticizing you over such petty things would you? No? Thought not.

This has gotten way out of hand so I am BEGGING now.

PLEASE agree to disagree. This is the kind of crap that rips communities to shreds. It'd kill me to see that happen here.

Thank you for your time.

I learnt very quickly that those who protest don’t help their cause because it makes the other majorities angry and uncomfortable. It’s unfortunate that vegans can’t be too preachy in public because it makes them as a whole look bad when in reality, it’s a minority that spread a bad name. I get a li... View More

Henceforth why the "hidden post" and "Bell Notification" feature was the best creation thus far for the site. Just close the disagreements and go on about your day.

Oh nono, that comment wasn't by any means a 'smart-ass' remark. Just in my discovery I was happy for it existing. I just find those forms of debates rather hard to talk about without some form of derailment of disputes firing from both sides.

I think it mainly has to do with everyone here acting like their pony persona and since no one in mlp really eats meat unless they're a cannibal, then some have decided to go all out with their pony characters as to act like the show and be vegan. I don't know, I may be talking out my flank and don'... View More

View MoreYou make a good point but you need to understand why even though people get so much ridicule/hate, still continue to speak out. The reason is simple, it's for the animals, for health, for the planet and for the people. The majority of people who adopt the eating only plants or the vegan lifestyle is because they love animals and don't want to hurt them, that's what starts it off for most people, it's not until later that through research and personal experience that they receive affirmation in learning about the health benefits and reduced environmental impacts that they continue to eat only plants. Many activist's go into the animal agriculture industries and secretly record footage to expose what happens behind closed doors (Something I don't think I could ever do even though I worked in a slaughterhouse). Many doctors and medical researchers have published peer reviewed papers on the negative consequences of eating animal products and even publicly spoken out about it. Well reputed universities and organizations have conducted studies on the environmental impacts of animal agriculture and the data indicates that it is not sustainable and is the leading cause of species extinction due to pollution and deforestation. Both doctors and scientist alike have steaked their reputations on bringing the people this new evidence of data for the betterment of mankind and not in the interests of big corporations. In the past I would never have thought that to truly make a difference and align my morals with my actions was to simply stop putting breast milk, menstruation products and flesh in my mouth was the way to do it but it worked! I am now happier, and healthier from it and the only thing I regret about going vegan (yes I know you don't like the label) was not going vegan sooner. That why so many speak out, that's why so many are changing the world it's easy give it a try, try vegan for 3 days or more check out the restaurants in your area enjoy and order the vegan food it's delicious I promise! try new food you never know you might find a new favourite :)
