    Its almost entirely made from plants

    And like, even if it was dinosaurs, Dirt is also (partially) made from decayed animals. And, oversimplifying, that dirt becomes plants.

    And that’s all fine for vegans, because it doesn’t involve exploitation of animals. Like, if you needed to raise and kill animals to use their corpses to grow plants, that’d be animal exploitation.

    i aggre with you if you’re talkin about mass capitalism version of veganism, but the original activist movement of veganism, which is more direct and utopic, is in fact against vehicles itself, cos the production of everything involved causes harm to animals environment.

      Yeah, these days, many people become vegan to combat climate change and are opposed to fossil fuels even before that…

      Definitely should forsake technology and get back where we belong. Lions and dolphins have to rough it out, why are we acting like we have the right to just not die of sepsis?

        A prey animal will try to fight off its predators, is this wrong of the prey animal? Should the prey animal lie down and accept its fate, because it doesn’t have the right to not get eaten? Why do you think nature has a “correct” state and that deviating from this is bad?

    Oil is made from plants that died back when there was no bacteria to break down those plants once they died.

    We now have that bacteria, so we won’t ever have more oil.
