    The bees consent! Veganism is about consent! If a cow could say “Yeah, please take my milk” it would be vegan!

    Theoretically domestic sheep wool is also vegan because theyll overheat and die if we dont shave them, and thus are probably pretty happy when we do and dont care what happens with it afterwards, but i dont think vegans are ready for that convo

      Sheep wouldn’t need shearing if we wouldn’t breed them to grow more wool, and if we allowed them to live where they are native, instead of “farming” them e.g. in Australia.

      Also I am pretty sure that those sheep get slaughtered after a couple of years, instead of being allowed a happy life.

      But I don’t think your cognitive dissonance is ready for that convo.
