i-shot-reagan:

Going vegan and caring about ending the exploitation of non-human animals doesn’t mean that you don’t care about the exploitation of humans, and human workers who are exploited and abused harvesting our fruits and vegetables and etc.
The two things aren’t mutually exclusive.  You can care about both.  And as a vegan, I think you should, because you should care about ending the exploitation of all sentient creatures, human or non-human. 
I don’t want to create a hierarchy of humans and non-human animals and by prioritizing the exploitation of one group over the other, I would be.  But I’m not.  That’s what speciesists do.  They create a hierarchy, only in a different way.  They place humans above non-human animals.  But fuck hierarchies. 

Animal liberation and human liberation.  Until we’re all free.  

ETA: I saw someone responded to this saying that “food can’t magically be produced without human labor,” so you can’t actually achieve both humyn and non-humyn liberation.  So I guess no humyns labor in the exploitation of animals (i.e. the “meat industry”)…?  Eating a vegan diet doesn’t mean you’re contributing to humyn exploitation any MORE than an average omnivore.  Maybe the same amount, if you don’t / can’t afford to buy locally or ethically sourced fruits and vegetables.  Am I just missing something?  Because I KEEP hearing this argument and it makes no fucking sense to me…
