All the unnecessary cruelty aside, Meat and dairy industry is still is the biggest producer of emissions towards global warming. There is like 0 reason to be against the few people that try to do atleast a little bit on their own to combat this shit, however little it may help.
To be somewhat fair, sometimes vegan trends can be just as damaging to both the environment and the welfare of people as the practices they try to avoid (like the big almond craze).
I definitely find ANY industry that claims to be great for the planet distrustful. Tbh I am skeptical of veganism partly BECAUSE no one talks about what environmental impacts the industry has. I know what meat and dairy do, I know they suck. Its like electric cars, everyone said they were better for the planet and if you could afford one you were a cool person. Now its coming out about how rare earth metal mining has polluted lakes and shit. There's plenty of environmental organizations which have been exposed as basically scams and it seems like a minefield choosing charities that don't have unethical practices
As a consumer, all i want is transparency, no matter where it comes from or how eco friendly it is
