The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Philosophy is based on logic, not straight emotions

Yeah, sorry, but that's straight untrue.

As I wrote before, every time you're doing a value judgement, you're arguing based on emotions.

Saying shredding two animals causes more suffering than shredding no animals is a rational, provable statement. But whether suffering is bad or not, is a value judgement and thus not rational.

If you say, “I don’t like suffering” to someone with a “no pain, no gain” shirt, your argument is weaker.

And both of these statements are value judgement, you're doing a category error here.
