I know vegans, and I know there are vegetarians and vegans on these forums.
They never bring it up unless someone else brings it up first.
I do know one guy who can be a bit pretentious about it. But he's like that about everything!
I honestly see far more meateaters preemptively defending (this is the second thread in as many weeks), than vegans going on about it.
(p.s. despite trying, I am not yet vegetarian myself. But we've cut it way, way down. Probably eat meat twice a month now, average).
Plants may have feelings and memories, there is actually some evidence they do have something, more than say, a rock. But as far as we know, it is in no way comparable to the suffering of an animal. We have to go with what we know to the best of our ability. If you aren't bothered by killing them, or aren't bothered enough to stop eating them, I get it, I really do. But why crap all over those who are? They aren't hurting you.
