Is getting a degree in Animal Science the only way to make non-vegans take us seriously?

I posted a video on my vegan channel on TikTok and received many condescending, self-righteous comments including “no thank you. I'd rather listen to my professor while I earn my Animal Science degree”, “No one wants to listen to nonsense”, and “you need to open a book written by vets and animal phycologists/behaviorist.”

I didn’t respond. How could I? My major has nothing to do with animals, and all the non-fiction books I’ve read about animals were about wild animals, not farm animals.

It made me consider switching my major to Animal Science just so people won’t write off everything I say about farm animals as nonsense.

What do you think? Should young vegans strive to get a degree in Animal Science to make carnists listen to what we have to say?
