This has been my Google Maps alternative for a couple of months now. In general i'm quite happy with it, tough the search is less forgiving than Google Maps.
I have friends that have saved several wild dogs and cats while on holiday, because of the compassion they developed for animals since becoming Vegans.
So your totalitarian claim is wrong right away.
If you look at Europe, eating less meat seems to impact the industry.
According to preliminary data from the Agricultural Market Information Company (AMI), the trend reversed for the first time last year. Average per capita meat consumption across the EU in 2024 was 66 kg, 2 kg higher than the previous year.
There are significant differences in consumption between individual countries: Per capita meat consumption is highest in Cyprus (88 kg), Ireland (87 kg), Portugal (85 kg), and Spain (85 kg). At 53 kg per capita, Germany is well below the EU average and is among the countries with the lowest meat consumption. In the long term, the AMI does not expect a further increase in per capita meat consumption in the EU due to changing eating habits.
The AGI is hardly an activist organisation, so i'd wager that they are not biased here.
Since eating habits in many countries that are slowly closing the gap to western countries are changing from vegetarian to more meat, the global data is obscured a lot.
But the logic of vegetarians and vegans not buying meat and an ever rising number of plant based alternatives consumed even by people, who are only looking for a reduction in meat consumption, seems clear to me.
The word you are looking for is Murderer, obviously 😉
But honestly, cutting out animal products helps animals, so thanks for that. Should it be all animal products? I'd say yes and live accordingly, but i can accept that other people arrive at other points.
Not at all what the meme is implying. It's more like: "I am against animal abuse but i have been conditioned to normalise eating animals from childhood onwards. Since i can't let go of one specific product or product group i will continue to eat it, maybe until further down the line, while otherwise cutting out animal products from my life."
Reducing your animal product use is something that helps animals. Period. Are you interested in the welfare of animals or in feeling better about yourself because you feel morally pure?
I've been a strict Vegan for over a decade now and even i tend to stay away from the crowd. It's a bit better offline, but depends on how much any person needs to boost their ego by signaling moral pureness.
Made the switch about a year ago. Every game i wanted to play worked just fine. I suppose it depends on the games you play, but to say it just does not work is plainly just wrong
Thats a lot of vacancies...
