So, I’m in a situation lol. My aunt is visiting and we got into a convo about veganism basicslly. she brought me a bunch of makeup as gifts and while I appreciated it, none of them were vegan and cruelty free items, so I politely declined. She said to me “why don’t you just be vegan in your diet and not worry about it in makeup?” and basically I ended up concluding it by saying “i just think it’s unecesaary. It’s makeup. We don’t need to hurt animals for it” but then we ended up talking about food again and I explained how “humane” and “grass fed” meet is not any better bc it’s worse for the environment and they end up going to the same slaughter house as the others. I explained how the males are useless to the industries bc they don’t reproduce and they they are killed almost immediately or used for veal. Then my mom walked in and they were saying “yeah but this stuff isn’t true, it isn’t always like that.” which was very frustrating. how do you respond to something like that? bc then she said “I’m thinking about buying my own farm. if I raised my own chickens to get their eggs, would you eat them?” I said no. and then she was asking why it’s a problem to raise your own animals. basically I always get stumped at some point in these conversations bc I don’t know how to explain stuff and if I do they just say my information is inaccurate. How do you deal with something like this? Sorry this is so long, I don’t reallt have anyone to turn to with this stuff :p
