Or, alternatively, what did you do to another person which got you blacklisted from their life?

    Good friend for 5 years or so. He turned into an alt-right fanatic and kept trying to make me upset by spouting “ideas” he knew not only I didn’t agree with, by would actually emotionally upset me (e.g. All street animals should be sacrificed without mercy, all immigrants should be returned to their original county, etc). He pulled this shit at my birthday also, ruinning the night not only for me but everyone present. That was the last time I saw him.

    Another friend of over 10 years. He met a guy with a very strong personality and started copying everything the other guy did. Started dressing like him, having the same ideas, etc. I didn’t play along, so everything about my suddenly became the object of criticism as well. Never talked to him again.

      Don’t spend too much time worrying about a few street animals, or there won’t be enough time to worry about the billions of farmed animals.

        It’s not an either-or. It’s both. He also made fun of my veganism and made a point of enjoying eating dead, tortured animals, while making fun of me for caring.

          Sorry, I was just being rhetorical. You encounter people accidentally expressing vegan values much more often than actual vegans.

          It’s not either-or, it’s just a matter of triage and magnitude.

            So what’s your point then?I shouldn’t worry about abandoned animals living in the street because that is taking away resources I could be directing into animals that suffer in farms/farming industry? All animals that suffer should be object of concern for anyone interested in animal well-being.
