Dear Vegan members.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

The animal is going to be slaughtered and farmed regardless, therefore is it not more wasteful/cruel to the animal to leave that meat sitting on the store shelf to go off than it is to eat it? I would say yes because if you do that then essentially you say it is ok for the animal to live and die in vain. I would rather eat the meat and know that it had not gone to waste then waste it by leaving it to go off.

I argue this same point to people, and then they hit me with the "Oh, but you eating it gives them permission to produce more meat. We need more people to be vegan, so that the amount of food sent to the store gradually becomes less."
