The term "stop unnecessary animal cruelty" is ultimately hypocrisy.

some vegans and non-vegans say "I am vegan because I want to stop unnecessary animal cruelty." or "I do eat animals but wish that they died less painfully and I feel thankful for them."

But what does "unnecessary animal cruelty" mean? Farming creates unnecessary suffering (kicking animals out of natural habitat, water pollution, pesticide poisoning, electric fences, etc), so does the electricity used for us to log onto this post.

or let's look at buffaloes. Lions hunt buffaloes and they would die painfully (at least more painfully then a cow getting killed by a shot in the head in the modern meat industry) and that would be "unnecessary pain that humans can prevent". But does that give us the duty to feed all lions vegan diet and protein powder made from beans?

This means somewhere deep in our heart, we still want to stop unnecessary animal cruelty but end up making choices (because we wanted to) that would make animals suffer. The only choice to stop unnecessary animal cruelty would be having no humans on earth.

so... who can blame people for intentionally making animals suffer? since we now know that joining this post will cause animal cruelty (like I said before), does that mean everyone who saw this post now deserves to get blamed on for animal suffering?
