37. I'm sorry that you see it that way.

To be clear, I have nothing against animals. I just think that it's not possible to run a functioning society without keeping animals in check.
Keeping animals out of cities is not my idea: It has been this way for millenia.

I am not a troll:
1. I do enjoy cooking vegan from time to time, simply because it's a challenge to use different ingredients. I share the environmental/health-arguments for cooking vegan. I just don't share the moral arguments for cooking vegan.
2. The vegan forum on DU does not have a "safe-space" rule. I just checked. Some other forums do, like the Socialists and the Atheists, but the Vegans do not have such a protected status here on DU.



And finally: I never said I would want that deer dead. I said I want wild animals out of the city. That's not the same.
And maybe the people who were quoted in the OP didn't mean it either. Sometimes a joke is just a joke.
