The problem with carnists is that they are so against the truth that when you tell them it they are a quick to perceive it as a lie from an emotional animal lover.
Because it’s easier for them to label us vegans as the irrational over emotional ones than to face up to the fact that their choice to kill and eat animals harms animals.
You tell a carnists that cows are repeatedly impregnated or chickens kept unsanitary confined conditions
And they’d rather pretend it’s not real and blame you for caring about animals too much than face the guilt they feel about these animals.
