    Hesitant to eat anything

    Why is it not bad enough knowing animal products such as blood meal, bone meal, fish meal, and horn and hoof meal are common organic fertilisers? How can taking the substantial risk of contributing to the demand for any of the aforementioned or other animal products be justified? And surely...

    Hesitant to eat anything

    Because for one thing much organic-allowed fertiliser is in the form of animal products, such as those that appear in this list of some common organic fertilisers: https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/archives/parsons/earthkind/ekgarden8.html

    Hesitant to eat anything

    Everyone's. Of which I am a part of, so I am necessarily looking to reduce my own contribution to animal death and suffering. I do try to encourage more people to be vegan. I can do that and eat (or rather not-eat, at the moment) how I feel I should. I'm puzzled by the 'doesn't it make more...

    Hesitant to eat anything

    Just causing less cruelty and suffering than the average person is not enough for me. For me being 'less worse' than other people is not the same as being right. And I want to feel satisfied that my dietary, purchasing, and all other choices I make are right. That I can justify them to myself...

    Hesitant to eat anything

    I'm not sure where you got the idea that I'm concerned which plant foods are healthier than others from.

    Overwatch: thoughts on the new charity mercy skin?

    Were I willing to pay $15 for it otherwise, I would not do so now having read what you have said.

    Hesitant to eat anything

    Recently I've been in phases where don't buy anything to eat at all and am in one such phase now. If anything causes more harm to animals than another food, then I want to eat the food that causes the least harm. The thing is I don't know what food does cause the least harm. I had figured at...

    Are there any vegans who avoid crops thats production is particularly dangerous to animals?

    I'm thinking of all crops grown in fields - so grain, potatoes, maize and sweetcorn, soybeans etc. - being an example of foods/food ingredients thats production (in this case I'm thinking specifically harvest) is particularly harmful to animals as vegan food goes. I don't think anyone denies...

    Might packaging not be vegan? (what's in the ink and glue?)

    Might the ink in the print on packaging and labels, the glue used to keep cardboard boxes closed, and the adhesive on envelopes, for starters, be non-vegan?

    Fear of walking

    It's funny that you should mention snails and having time. I was late to pick up a take away one wet night for moving every single snail off of the path I was walking on. I felt so bad for getting there after the place closed.

    Fear of walking

    People eat meat too but I can choose not to just as I can choose to be more careful not to step on things

    Fear of walking

    Newts like the one I saw, mice, frogs, lizards, etc. If I see an invertebrate I tend to move them out of harms way too. Including once a wasp that was in the middle of the road but I couldn't scoop him up successfully before a car came which ran it over unfortunately.

    Fear of walking

    First thing's first this is not a troll thread. You know how other uni students spend their free time partying? Well I use up mine just getting from place to place. If I had to pinpoint the moment it all started I'd say it was when I saw this newt on the path outside my flat. I had been a...
