There is no moral argument against veganism. None. There is no argument to be made as to why unnecessarily killing animals is more moral than leaving animals alone to live their lives. So from there all you can ask is, is being vegan more moral than not being vegan?

Probably the most common statement I see from non-vegans is “vegans kill animals too” or “what about crop deaths?” This also ties into “we don’t have enough land to support a plant based diet.”

Saying something is right because “we’ve always done it this way” is a terrible argument. That sentiment has been used to promote slavery, denying women the right to vote, preventing LGBTQIA+ people from marrying, and all sorts of other forms of discrimination.

A common fallacy I often hear is that “animals eat other animals”, using that as a justification for humans to eat animals. Or they’ll say “good luck making a lion go vegan” or “I bet you wouldn’t tell a bear not to eat an animal.”

One of my favorite arguments against veganism is that “humans are predators.” Whereas that may technically be true, and was true about humans in the past, modern day humans aren’t predators like those found in nature.

An omnivore is just an animal that is naturally able to eat both plants and meat, that’s it. An omnivore can survive and even thrive without eating meat.

The world won’t go vegan overnight. The animal agriculture industry, like all industries, works based off of supply and demand. The reduction in animals being bred for consumption would be slow and gradual over time, it would not be an over night thing.

Plants do not feel pain, they do not have feelings, they are not sentient, they do not have a brain, and they do not have a central nervous system. The fact that I even have to write this…
