Mmm... but there aren't any rules they HAVE to follow, are there? I mean.... it is nicer to not kill animals unnecessarily, isn't it? Even if you DO wear leather or drive cars etc etc... there's no vegan rulebook they're breaking; a little bit of good is still good, isn't it? I'm not vegan myself but I don't get the hypocrisy argument against them... i would suggest that they're saying we should limit our pointless effect on animals by being vegan.... they know it's impossible to eliminate. And as for hunters.... well 1) unless you're living completely off the land, you don't need to eat meat and 2) why would it be in any way acceptable to enjoy killing the meat you DO have to eat?
