I see often
from animal activists say that we need to boycott certain countries because of
cruelty or they kill certain nonhuman animals. One question needs to be asked
to those people who ask for boycotting these countries where do you live, on
some planet which doesn’t use other animals, or do you live on this planet. If you want to be consistent with boycotting
because of cruelty or killing of nonhuman animals, you cannot live on this
planet due to the fact that use of nonhuman animals is ubiquitous and all use involves
abuse. And is there a country where animal products aren’t used, no. These
boycotts imply that some nonhuman animals value more than others, but all
animals are equal.
It’s called
for boycott of China due to killings of dogs and cats etc.; Japan for killing
of whales and dolphins. So using/killing of dogs, cats, whales and dolphins
isn’t ok, but it’s ok to use/kill other nonhuman animals. You aren’t being
consistent if you think that all animal are equal but you call for boycott of
those countries for those reasons. How can non-vegans be against use of cats,
dogs etc. but have nothing against use of other nonhuman animals? That’s
breathtaking inconsistency.
Some say I
think all use of other animals is wrong but I support those boycotts. Those campaigns
don’t say that all use is wrong; they imply that particular use is wrong. Why
don’t promote what you think. And it doesn’t matter what you personally think
about use of other animals. What does matter is what general public sees when
you advocate for those campaigns. And people
are doing those campaigns instead of veganism education. Why? Maybe because people
cannot handle the truth of inherent immorality of all use of nonhuman animals,
right. No, they can handle the truth. Doing unequivocal vegan advocacy helps
all animals.
