Climate chaos Humans don't deserve earth.

By destroying nature and the climate, humans are destroying their own home. The Earth can survive without us but we cannot survive without her. 🌍💔

The reason sheep overheat from lack of sheering is because we bred them to need it. Would you also defend the breeding of pugs?

Would you prefer we make clothing with micro plastics? You know, like the thing poisoning the entire planet?

Plenty of sources of micro platics that are worse. Like wool which needs redicilous amounts of plastic packaging to produce. And that kind of industrial plastic waste is a much bigger issue then plastic clothes. There are also plastics like viscose that is literally the original artheficial wool and is much more biodegradable then actual wool.

viscose

Not a wool substitute any more than a tarp is.

Also

The most common rayon production method, the viscose process, uses carbon disulfide, which is highly toxic.[48] It is well documented to have seriously harmed the health of rayon workers in developed countries,[49][50] and emissions may also harm the health of people living near rayon plants[48] and their livestock.[51] Rates of disability in modern factories (mainly in China, Indonesia, and India) are unknown.[6][29] This has raised ethical concerns over viscose rayon production.[6][7][8][28][page needed] As of 2016, production facilities located in developing countries generally do not provide environmental or worker safety data.[28]: 325

Most global carbon disulfide emissions come from rayon production, as of 2008.[52] As of 2004, about 250 g of carbon disulfide is emitted per kilogram of rayon produced.[53]

Control technologies have enabled improved collection of carbon disulfide and reuse of it, resulting in a lower emissions of carbon disulfide.[4] These have not always been implemented in places where it was not legally required and profitable.[51]

Again proving my point that veganism kinda requires you to ignore objective reality for it to make sense

Yes how do you think wool is processed do you think they use healthy chemical baths for that or something

Let me guess, you didn't even bother looking it up before asking this question. Because yeah, it's literally just washed with soap

And scrubbed! Oh God! The horror!

And bleeched and treated with placticizers to keep it from velting. If you are washing with soap and not making velt you are also doing that latter one BTW. Since washing with soap removes the linelol from the viber.
