In the last 1-2 years vegan protesting has increased and some might say it has gone too far It has increased to an extent that any reader of this article has probably seen a viral video or article on social media regarding a vegan lifestyle. In this article, we want to share our opinion on vegan protesting going too far.
An example of protesting, a woman calling herself “Militante Veganerin”, her real name is Raffaela Raab, she has recently gone viral on German social media, especially on TikTok. She makes videos educating people about reasons to be vegan She also does this pretty smartly since she shows videos of animals being slaughtered and then asks the people why they aren’t vegan The kids usually respond with: "I like meat, it's delicious, and nobody can influence me not to eat meat or animal products anymore ” . She continues to have a discussion with them and also says: “You are an animal murderer”, or things that make the other person look bad The components of her content are pretty sad to see She also became a huge meme, many people make fun of her, and she has become a target of disrespectful comments, such as: "I just ate a big mac".
She has found a good way to make people listen and have conversations about being vegan, but do you think it is alright to show children uncensored videos of animals getting slaughtered? This can lead to trauma for many children. Only talking to children increases the risk of them making jokes out of this and saying things like: “I just ate a whole steak for you, since you can't eat it”. In conclusion, if you're vegetarian, vegan or someone who doesn't eat meat or animal products, this is completely fine However, we think that sometimes people have to think before they act.
