I’ve been really struggling mentally lately knowing that the people I love and care about aren’t vegan. I’ve been vegan 8ish years. The more I learn about the horrors of what animals go through to bring people dairy, meat and products, the harder it is for me to be around others that are ok with it, or rather, ignore it. I posted videos on my instagram of real slaughterhouse footage and I got reported by one of my friends for offensive material. A meat eating friend. Like if you can’t look at where your meat comes from, then maybe you shouldn’t be eating it. I no longer go out to eat with my friends unless it’s strictly vegan. I told my father he’s welcome to visit me for thanksgiving, but no animal products would be allowed in my house and we would be doing a strict vegan thanksgiving and he laughed. Being vegan was the easiest decision to make, but it’s very lonely out here sometimes. How do people deal with trying to stay friends with people, but at the same time feeling really sad around them for not caring.
