Ethical Vegans: It’s Time to Reevaluate Our Approach
A recent controversy has been sparked in the vegan community, and it’s imperative that we address it. Many ethical vegans have been accused of making harmful comparisons between animal agriculture and the Holocaust, a tragic event that claimed the lives of six million Jews and millions of others during World War II. This behavior is not only inaccurate but also offensive and hurtful to those who survived the real Holocaust.
The Harmful Comparisons
Vegan activists have been known to use inflammatory language, accusing omnivores of being complicit in an "animal holocaust." While it’s true that animal agriculture has devastating environmental and welfare implications, such language only serves to polarize and alienate people who are not vegan. By comparing animal farming to the Holocaust, we risk trivializing the unimaginable suffering and loss experienced by Holocaust survivors and their families.
The Consequences of Hurtful Rhetoric
This harmful rhetoric can have severe consequences, including:
- Discrediting the vegan movement: By using divisive and inaccurate language, we risk losing the respect and credibility of potential allies who are already hesitant to join the vegan movement.
- Fostering mistrust and animosity: Such language can create an us-versus-them mentality, pitting vegans against non-vegans and undermining the importance of constructive dialogue and cooperation.
- Minimizing the significance of the real Holocaust: By reducing the Holocaust to a simplistic comparison, we risk diminishing the gravity of this atrocity and the ongoing struggle for justice and reconciliation that it represents.
A Call to Action
Ethical vegans, it’s time to take a step back and reassess our approach. Instead of resorting to hurtful rhetoric, let’s focus on:
- Education: Share the facts about animal agriculture and its environmental and welfare impacts in a clear and respectful manner.
- Empathy: Show compassion and understanding for the challenges faced by those who choose to consume animal products, while still advocating for plant-based living.
- Collaboration: Engage in respectful dialogue with omnivores and non-vegans, listening to their perspectives and working together to create a more sustainable and compassionate food system.
Conclusion
The vegan movement has the power to create positive change, but we must do so in a way that is respectful, compassionate, and accurate. By reevaluating our approach and abandoning harmful rhetoric, we can build a stronger, more inclusive movement that benefits both humans and animals.

Every ethical vegan needs to see this. Stop accusing omnivores of evil and being complicit in the “animal holocaust”. It is an affront to real holocaust survivors.

Simply consuming meat and animal products does not equate to evil. Hermann Goring also vowed to commit violators of this law to concentration camps.
Then they pull up a handful of survivors who were vegan saying ‘look here is what they think’
It’s as stupid as saying I’m not racist I know some black people whilst saying ‘they’re the good kind’
I agree, but veganism can’t be defended logically, or reasonably. It needs emotional appeals and that means hyperbole, lots and lots of hyperbole.
Five day old account with a post like this… just admit youre jewish
In fact, who knows how much of Hitlers decision making was affected by him literally eating bread all day for food because he didn’t eat meat. Than when he started becoming so sick from it, his Doctor Dr. Morrell eventually convinced Hitler to start getting injections made of animal organ meat and B Vitamins. Hitler loved feeling that rush of energy it quickly lead to him asking Dr. Morrell what other cool shit can be injected to feel good. And at the time Amphetamines and Opioids were becoming big in the German Pharmaceutical industry. And Hitler quickly started getting whacked out. Than post 1942 when the war started going bad for Germany, he really tale spun
Vegans would stomp their feet at what I’m even suggesting. But what we eat affects our everyday decision making, period
“Gentile News Network” looks like a Nazi propaganda shill, so I sincerely hope that vegans are not endorsing Nazi garbage.
Also, for those who were not aware, the Nazis did not replace animal testing with a humane alternative. They conducted horrific medical experiments on thousands of Jews during the Holocaust: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-medical-experiments
Not about the veganism, or defending it, but this is a hell of an ironic quote to come from Hermann, hunts fucking everything, Göring.
„Don’t increase the protection of animals in horrendous animal testing labs because the Nazis also enacted such animal protection laws“
It’s not the flex.
Except the actual holocaust survivors who compare factory farms to concentration camps ?
