Welcome
Welcome to c/[email protected]. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.
What is Veganism?
'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'
— abridged definition from The Vegan Society

You don't get it, this is a scam to get vegans to form a emotional attachment with a young cow and it will be used as leverage. Independent animal farms are a tiny minority and especially under pressure to neglect a animal's needs for profit in a industry that has normalized it to a terrifying extent.
Oh sure, very possibly or even likely. But what's the alternative? As far as I can see, it's either these animals being butchered for profit or basically going extinct. All bad options
Edit: I went back to read the title from the image. The "vegan" label on there is very pointed. Seems derogatory.
The alternative is not breeding living beings just to imprison and exploit them. Going extinct isn't "bad", especially when the alternative is what we currently inflict on them. That said, you can always support sanctuaries. You know those places taking in animals that specifically don't have a literal "meat-program"?
Well I definitely disagree on the extinction bit. That would be bad and should be avoided. Sanctuaries are a good point though. Great alternative!
