Sometimes I feel like I'm being mean when I pick on my nonvegan friends. (slrpnk.net)

But then I remember I didn't take their children away, hook them up to a machine to extract food from them, or kill them. And that makes me feel like making fun of carnists is not so bad.

It sounds a lot like you want us to be silent so you don't have to think about it.

Most people intellectually understand that torturing and killing animals is wrong and they don't want to do it. But they can put it into the back of their minds unless the vegans in their life remind them of what they look like to us.

And personally, I firmly believe that getting those little reminders from my friends added up over years for me until I realized it was worth it to make the change.
