As someone who has been vegan for 25 years, I really appreciate your choices and empathize with your motivations. If, however, your goal is to make a difference, you might want to avoid alienating your audience before you’ve even said anything.
I know a few people who use it/its pronouns. While I agree that treating animals with respect is a good thing, it pronouns are not necessarily a sign of disrespect or objectification.
Well in that case that is different but usually when we say “it” that is used to refer to physical objects like book or treat. Animals being seen as property harms them.
Ikr. I think were now supposed to say something about how this kind of interaction is so reddit. Loudly enough that we can ignore that it’s just how people behave in general.
Cause I promise if I talked like that in real life I’d get eye rolls and wouldn’t be invited out anymore. It’s a great example of “theory is fine but you need to interact with others.”
Can’t get up until it moves, that’s they rules
The doe is a being not an object.
They doe is a being not an object.
in the english language the pronouns it/its are used either for animals or inanimate objects
he/him/his here

The doe has no concept of pronouns. I promise calling it “it” isn’t doing anything to hurt it.

Beings are also an object :)
You wouldn’t call people “it”. It’s about showing respect.
I wouldn’t, but I am calling animals it. Only in English tho, we don’t do that in my native language.

The person getting upset at another person calling a doe an it, telling another to touch grass is just peak internet.
