The three stages of delusional "vegan" belief
1. Being "vegan" means not causing any animal death
All "vegans" start here. They believe that because they don't consume any animal parts, they therefore don't cause any animals to die. This belief is provably false. Animals die all the time in the course of commercial agriculture. Animals are chopped to bits in the course of tilling fields, as well as in the course of harvesting crops. Animals are intentionally killed in and around food storage facilities; for example, rodents are lethally trapped and poisoned at grain storage facilities. The initial false "vegan" belief is a classic logical fallacy: denying the antecedent. This belief runs as follows: If I consume animal parts, I cause animals to die. I do not consume animal parts; therefore, I do not cause animals to die. This belief is false. There are other ways to cause animals to die other than by consuming products made from them. 2. Being "vegan" means I "minimize" my animal death toll False. To claim to be "minimizing" necessarily presumes that a calculation has been made, even if only a thought exercise. But it is trivially easy to show that going "vegan" does not necessarily mean, in and of itself, that one is "minimizing" one's animal death toll. The easiest way to see this is to compare two different "vegan" diets. Unless the heroic but unrealistic assumption is made that all fruit and vegetable foods cause exactly the same animal death toll on a per serving basis, then clearly two different "vegan" diets, with different elements comprising each diet, have different animal death tolls, one necessarily higher than the other. The person consuming the higher death toll "vegan" diet clearly is not minimizing his overall animal death toll. The claim of "veganism" in and of itself yielding the lowest harm outcome is false. 3. Going "vegan" necessarily means causing less animal death than a lifestyle that includes animal products Still false. Which causes more animal deaths, a pound of venison from a deer shot by the consumer, or a pound of rice? Pound of venison: one dead deer. Pound of rice: some unknowable number of animal deaths, but certainly more than one. The issue is that *all* of the deaths resulting from the cultivation of a rice paddy are shared among *all* consumers of the rice from that paddy. If cultivating a hectare of rice producing land results in 100 animal deaths - undoubtedly on the low side - then *each* consumer of rice from that hectare shares in the responsibility for *all* 100 deaths. There are no fractional deaths, and no proportional allocation of responsibility for them. |

The three stages of delusional "vegan" belief
I think you are the delusional one, Rudy.
Do you know how many wild animals die because that deer you shot and took out of the food chain? Or say a wild turkey? The only reason given for hunting is to "thin out the herds." The reason why the herds have to be "thinned out" is because when the Europeans came to this country and pushed even further into the wilds they killed every "scarry" preditor animal they came across. We killed their preditors now we are told we have to kill their prey. SMART THINKING! Most Vegans consume Organic foods and those that don't should. This means nothing has been killed to produce the food. NOTHING! Rodents are traped in live cages and released back into the wild. You see Rudy, Big Business organic farmers believe as us little Vegans do... ALL LIFE IS SACRED! Even yours Rudy. Eddie |

Since these deaths are so pervasive in agriculture, you should have no trouble supplying photographic evidence of it.
