Charlie Fox Here's a quick list that highlights why vegans sometimes come across as angry. It’s not about being negative—it’s about the frustration of seeing unnecessary suffering and knowing things could be different:

1. Animal Cruelty: Vegans are passionate because they see the immense cruelty and suffering animals endure for food, clothing, and entertainment.

2. Environmental Destruction: The massive environmental impact of animal agriculture, including deforestation, pollution, and climate change, is frustrating, especially when sustainable alternatives exist.

3. Health Misinformation: Constant myths about veganism being unhealthy persist, despite evidence showing that plant-based diets can be incredibly healthy.

4. Hypocrisy: Hearing people say they love animals while eating a burger or bacon can be infuriating because it shows a disconnect between actions and beliefs.

5. Social Acceptance of Cruelty: Seeing society normalize the exploitation and killing of animals for pleasure can be deeply upsetting.

6. Mockery: Vegans often face ridicule for their choices, despite those choices being rooted in compassion and ethics.

7. Complacency: Knowing that people could make a difference but choose not to because it’s inconvenient is disheartening.

8. Cultural Norms: Constantly challenging deeply ingrained cultural practices that involve animal exploitation is exhausting and often met with resistance.

9. Animal Voices Unheard: Animals can’t advocate for themselves, so vegans feel compelled to speak out, often leading to frustration when their concerns are dismissed.

10. Slow Progress: While change is happening, it’s often slow, and seeing ongoing animal suffering can be overwhelming and heartbreaking.
