    Indeed that was refreshing to read, and much needed. At the moment it feels like a tsunami of bad news and bad takes is flooding online communities, so these kinds of encouraging posts feel like a Public Service. Thanks

      Correct me if im wrong, but doesn’t the meat consumption already goes down in most western countries? In China however it is rising, since people are now more and more in a position where they can afford meat.

      Progress often seems daunting and impossible until we make it happen

      Many institutions that seemed impossible to tear down have been torn down before

      It won’t happen overnight, but there is always the possibility for progress when we fight for it

    I was so used to seeing bad news that i started thinking of why a decrease in pelt production would be a bad thing. Then i saw the community.

      Its not that. Its cheaper to make vegan products.

      Just look at the price of eggs. And the price of beans vs beef. Eventually veganism will become the norm because the animal industry is just so inefficient.

    Fox News: “Millenials are killing the fur industry!”

    Disclaimer: I am not a vegan. I like animals, but I’ve only gotten as far as being conscious of animal products. I try to reduce my usage of them, but I’m not free of them by a long shot. Just putting this here in case someone points out the hypocrisy. They’d be right, but for what it’s worth, I’m trying.

      Many people doing a little bit is worth more than a hand full of people doing everything right (which they can’t). Spread the word!

      That’s all anyone asks, everyone’s journey is of different lengths and of different steepness too. Some go cold turkey immediately and others slowly phase products out. Just keep progressing and educating yourself further on the matter (as we all should be) and you’ll always be good in my books.

    I do think the fact that being dresses in fur makes you look like a total asshole has much to do with this.

    If only there was some equally obvious way to identify someone as fascist. Something like them shouting fascist ideology, hanging out with other likeminded assholes and doing a certain awkward arm gesture. Then without a doubt we could interpret them also as a total asshole just like if they would be wearing furs. Right?

    Cruealla be like these furs are legaly sourced and those pups where clearly hardend criminals. I know someone who got bit by a dah once. We had to shoot it down as a response. does shooting motion while winking All that dog food they leach from us, and infrastructure like their own public toilets. its a total total fraud by woke pet lovers.

      Eh, that’s very cultural. In Easter Europe it’s very normalized to wear fur.

      One big reason for mink decline is also mink-related diseases being passed to humans, causing huge cullings…
