im sorry if this is badly written im like crying my eyes out over this shit and theres no clear cut answer and i dont know what to do and its driving me insane. i just want another opinion

as the title states my parents found a tarantula (texas brown tarantula) who was bitten by a hawk wasp and paralyzed. i dont believe she laid an egg inside the spider because they said the wasp was dragging her across the road after she got bit back to her burrow and they scared the wasp away before she could take the tarantula in. shes in my kitchen right now in a well ventilated box with some water and i did everything she could to make sure she wasnt stressed but i read it can take MONTHS for them to recover.

this is where im feeling torn. i dont know. i cant leave her to die or i dont want to anyways it feels brutal and devastating and i cant do that to her but i cant imagine being completely paralyzed and spoon fed for months on end. she isnt able to comprehend whats going on so im really anxious shes going to be terrified and stressed the whole time. if thats the better choice i will gladly do everything in my power to help her anything for her but i dont know if thats even the more humane choice.

is a quick euthanasia the middle ground?? or is it awful to kill her??? i tried thinking about what i would do for a human but i dont even know there either. i dont know if i have it in me to end her life even if its the more humane option. just thinking about it makes me want to throw up. her entire life is in my hands and im so fucking scared im going to mess up

im most likely autistic and while i struggle with human empathy i feel so strongly for animals it ruins me and i feel like thats clouding my judgement. im just so fucking devastated and heartbroken beyond words for her i wish i could make her feel better. i cant imagine how terrified she was 💔 i named her amber. i want to be able to remember her somehow. she matters to me

Hello,

Recently I saw a post on r/vegan that complained about how reducing meat consumption was not enough to gain vegans‘ respect and that vegans still called the poster a murderer.

I naturally made fun of this in my comment by satirizing it from the perspective of a racist. In my comment, I wrote from the perspective of a racist who complains that even though he reduced the number of racist jokes they make, other non-racist people still don’t respect him. I was merely satirizing the poster’s comment by how absurd it would be when applied to something like racism.

My comment got instantly removed and I immediately got banned by Reddit algos - automated ban for promoting hate against a certain group. So it wasn’t r-vegan mods. I appealed and a human reviewer denied my appeal.

I made similar satirical posts on r/vegancirclejerk before and I wasn’t banned by Reddit algos. So not sure what’s going on

The experience left me a bit shaken and less willing to post on Reddit.

Just wanted to share.

Hello vegans!

I recently found a therian mask that I really wanted to buy. I messaged the seller, asked for some extra photos, and we started discussing shipping. Only afterwards did I notice that the description said it was made with real fur.

(I was honestly surprised because therian masks made with real fur are generally pretty frowned upon in the community, so I didn't even think to check the materials beforehand😔)

I apologized to the seller and told them I wasn't comfortable buying it because it used real fur.

They replied with two things:

1. They said they only used real fur because they had run out of faux fur and reused the fur from an old coat instead of buying new fur.
2. They offered to remove the real fur and replace it with faux fur if I still wanted the mask.

I'm curious what other vegans think about this situation. Would you consider buying the mask after the fur was replaced, or would you still avoid it?

Hey, this is something I wanted to post about for a long while. A lot of people here struggle with finding a vegan partner and I feel like it becomes pretty much impossible after a certain amount of confounding variables.

Let me illustrate: I'm disabled, meaning I can't move from my country. No country on this planet accepts disabled people. This limits my dating pool but most people date within their country anyway.

There are 10 million people here. Roughly 1.8 million in my age range. Thankfully I am bi so no further restrictions here.

Let's say 0.05% are vegan for the animals. Let's say 0.01% are CC (and that is being generous as I have met 10x more vegans than CC people)

The overlap between these groups is higher than in the majority population but still pretty low, I'd say 10% tops.

So that leaves us with ~20 people that share my values in this entire country.

But wait there's more! These people can also already be in a relationship. Probably less likely than the average person because they would also likely want someone that shares their values but the real number is likely lower.

And now the real kicker - I am bedbound and require pretty much full time care from a partner. How many people do you think are willing to accept this? Would you?

My situation makes it mathematically impossible (TM) to find a partner but, surprise surprise, I did. I have an amazing boyfriend, that truly loves me, takes care of me each and every day, masks for me. But he's not vegan. I don't know if he will ever be open to it and I don't know if I should ever ask or just count my blessings or shut up. And I do truly love him too, this is literally the only one of my values he doesn't share.

There are multiple people in this community calling people like me horrible for dating non-vegans. But am I really that bad of a person? Is this really so wrong? Because the alternative is not being single, it is death. If someone won't take care of me, I will simply die.

I am curious to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Hello vegans. I’ve tried googling but am struggling to find vegan tattooist, any recommendations? Preferably in the South West of England
Thanks :)
