    Stop trying to sell me, and other meat eaters on the "Animals are people/animals feel feelings" argument which will continually fall on deaf ears, and use the SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT AND IMPACTFUL ARGUMENT that the way we farm is legitimately environmentally unsustainable and needs to be changed.

Absolutely, I'm well aware of the environmental damage caused by modern, chemical based, mono-crop farming practices which are totally unsustainable. I posted a documentary in the past called Cowspiracy which is about this very issue. People complained that they don't watch "conspiracy theories".

Now, I feel like I keep repeating myself over and over in these discussions.

In every animal rights discussion you'll hear someone say "this is not the right way to discuss animal rights". And that's natural since there isn't a single "right way" of activism.

As far I'm aware I'm free to use my free-speech to post whatever I want. Like everyone else I choose to post what resonates with me and everyone else has the choice to read, watch, listen to what I post or not. But just because YOU disagree with the content I share and my form of activism it doesn't mean that EVERYONE will disagree.

And lastly, to be selling something I'd have to be earning something back and the only thing I earn personally is personal abuse, insults and the same old excuses not to discuss a subject that is central to our way of living.
