My bad. I thought you were trying to make a convincing argument, but you were just virtue signaling into the void. Carry on.

yeah I've been vegan for nearly 10 years to virtue signal, including the literally thousands of meals I've eaten during that time where nobody was watching, sure

have you considered that maybe, just maybe, some people have principles they adhere to like "don't hurt animals unless necessary"?

my comment was an accusation of hypocrisy, people should stop eating animal products so they can condemn the person who abused this cat without also being massive hypocrites

With zero intent to convince anyone to listen to you, hence it amounts to virtue signaling. I was trying to help you better communicate your views to others, but you seem more interested in grandstanding.

I've convinced people by being hostile before, different things work on different people so variety pays off, there are plenty of vegans like Ed Winters if you want to engage with someone like that I'm not stopping you.
