Also if we're to speak of cruelty and environment shit why don't vegans speak of the animals farmers need to kill in order to protect crops? Or the fuel spent by importing vegetables and fruits?

Now I'm not saying that meat is better since tastes are subjective and animals do get treated badly and raised in bad conditions but some of them live in titanium bubbles

Many vegans speak extensively about these topics, especially since they're used as a favorite "gotcha" by animal-ag supporters.

Now you know!

Yes but I think those vegans don't go wrecking havoc because their cause is "good"

Vegan protesters: spilling milk in stores, sending death threats to farmers and chefs, disrupting restaurant and more

Lol. The vast majority of vegans don't do anything like that, including the guy in the video linked, but the ones who do are the only ones you hear about.

If certain activists discredit veganism in your mind, would you say that climate activists who do similar things also discredit environmentalism as a whole?

Yeah? If someone suddenly showed up and they took your phone smashed it saying that Chinese kids made it and we need to protect them and so on, would it help their case or make you wanna hear none of their shit and create a need for a new phone? If part of your community acts like that it'll drag the whole community down and put a bad light over you

So naturally you're against environmentalism because of climate activists that destroy property, block traffic, etc?

If someone who's a dick to me is against child labor, I'm not going to all the sudden be pro-child labor. Like wtf are you talking about lol.
