LEATHER IS NOT PUNK ROCK
punk means equity for ALL, animal liberation is punk
edit: for clarification yall i mean BUYING leather and I do not support plastic leather either. I’m personally not comfortable using leather at all but if you thrift it or get it secondhand somehow that's fine, whatever. i'm not saying plastic is good either, i'm saying typical fashion trends associated with the punk scene are bullshit altogether and this is just an ex of why.

Every once in a while I will see a post claiming vegans kill more animals then people who eat meat because of the rodents and birds killed harvesting crops and it always makes me laugh.
If you don’t want to be vegan then don’t be vegan but if you’re going to be a troll, at least use your brain.
You also eat fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes and grains. (Not just vegans.)
You know who else also eats those? Livestock.
Almost 80% of the world’s soybean crops are fed to livestock. A quick google search will prove this to you.
I get kind of annoyed when people diss on veganism for “moralizing food” and treat it like an eating disorder. Food is not just food. There is morals behind what you pay for. Yes, its a necessity. Yes, you need to eat. No, food is not “bad” because its unhealthy or “good” because its healthy.
But acting like vegans are promoting eating disorders when we bring up the fact that animals dont want to be slaughtered is insane. Caring about animals is not akin to a deadly mental illness. Respecting the autonomy and will to live of another creature is not a mental illness.
(I will acknowledge that if you have a preexisting eating disorder, being vegan is difficult. Not impossible, but something that should be done with guidance and lots of care.)
"Most people don’t think about the fact they’re eating animals. When they’re eating a steak or eating chicken, most people don’t think about the tremendous suffering that those animals endure simply to become food products to be consumed by human beings.
I think the lack of critical engagement with the food that we eat demonstrates the extent to which the commodity-form has become the primary way in which we perceive the world. We don’t go further than what Marx called the exchange value of the actual object. We don’t think about the relations that the object embodies, and were important to the production of that object. Whether it’s our food or our clothes or our iPads. That would really be revolutionary, to develop a habit of imagining the human relations and non-human relations behind all of the objects that constitute our environment.
The food we eat masks so much cruelty. The fact that we can sit down and eat a piece of chicken without thinking about the horrendous conditions under which chickens are industrially bred in this country is a sign of the dangers of capitalism, how capitalism has colonized our minds. The fact that we look no further than the commodity itself, the fact that we refuse to understand the relationships that underlie the commodities that we use on a daily basis.
I think there is a connection between the way we treat animals and the way we treat people who are at the bottom of the hierarchy. Look at the ways in which people who commit such violence on other human beings have often learned how to enjoy that by enacting violence on animals. So there are a lot of ways we can talk about this." -Angela Davis
"Animals do not ‘give’ their life to us, as the sugar-coated lie would have it. No, we take their lives. They struggle and fight to the last breath, just as we would do if we were in their place."
– John Robbins
