Question:
Sometimes I just feel like I need a vegan friend… that sounds so 4th grade, I know, but it’s true. I’m 23 years old and I’m happily married to a very supportive (but not vegan/vegetarian) husband and we have 2 kids. I don’t know ANYONE personally who is vegan, or even vegetarian for that matter. I’m from Oklahoma and practically everyone I know has been raised around cattle or dairy farms. My parents seem REALLY offended that I’m now a vegan, even though I look better and feel better than I have in my entire life! I wish people would just be happy for me and leave me alone. I don’t talk about what they eat 24/7 so I really wish people would stop talking about what I DONT eat. Does anyone else feel like they’re alone out there?

Question:
Especially vegans, since they are the most sensitive to animal rights. I just can’t understand why they don’t take an official stand against killing a fetus, especially one that is past that first 6-8 weeks and has really formed for the most part. So many of them align themselves politically with pro-abortion candidates. I am really curious as to the philosophy of this.
Question:
Almost all the vegans up here at my school support charities that conduct animal experimentation (vivisection). It was in my understanding that the vegan philosophy included a rejection of animal experimentation. In many circumstances, I’m left feeling the odd man out, or appear cruel for my vehement opposition towards anything (regardless of its end goal) that willing harms and murders innocent animals. I do understand that certain medical issues can hit close to home for many individual and thus they support any effort which helps to alleviate such problems (but at what cost?). But again isn’t purporting vivisection itself just inherently propagating speciesm. Saying that one form of life itself is worth more than another?

Can anyone help me to understand this. Does anyone here consider themselves a vegan, yet funds cruel animal experimentation. I can’t understand is it that these individuals are just uneducated? Or am I just subscribing to the animal rights extremest mindset? can someone please help clarify this for me.
