Like how Ethan Klein is able to criticize the meat industry all the time because he isn’t vegetarian. He even stops himself and says “I can’t say this because I’m not vegetarian” but little does he know, he’s the ONLY type of person who can criticize what happens to animals and be listened to. Someone who cares but hasn’t made the next step (yes, vegan would be the proper step, not vegetarian, but even then). As soon as you’re a vegan, your opinion on animals or the environment feels like it doesn’t matter as much, because people are too challenged by someone who’s “walking the walk” and not just talking the talk. That’s why we really need non-vegans speaking up for vegans and veganism, as ridiculous as it sounds. (Plus, maybe some reverse psychology activism/outreach/advocacy : Don’t be afraid to pretend to be a regretful non-vegan lending your voice to the vegan perspective, if doing so can have the unexpected effect of saving more animals than if you were honest about being a vegan yourself. Try it: Make your regular pro vegan post, but then preface it with “I’m not vegan but…” beforehand. Compare reactions to the same post without that “disclaimer”).
