The anti-meat agenda is coming for universities

&gt; Vegan activism is sucking the fun out of student life<p>What a ridiculous and trash article that does nothing to engage with the moral or ethical concerns that motivate &quot;vegan activism&quot;. Maybe such concerns are wrong, maybe their arguments aren&#x27;t good. This Harry Clynch fellow probably doesn&#x27;t know because he hasn&#x27;t bothered to actually understand the arguments. More likely, he is willfully obfuscating the issue by pretending like there is no cost to conscious life or that climate change that doesn&#x27;t merit the utmost seriousness.<p>No, to him &quot;fun&quot; is more important. This is an article so morally autistic as to think that killing living things is ok simply by virtue of it contributing to human pleasure. He assumes that eating meat is somehow some benign default, whereas people who bring forth arguments against it are somehow evil. It&#x27;s the typical modern &quot;conservative&quot; dribble of &quot;anything smacking of self-abnegation or altruism or that otherwise causes me to confront my own moral failings or dial down my own selfishness is bad, and me firing my own pleasure neurons irrespective of the externalities is good&quot;<p>I am not a vegan, but would gladly support such an initiative if I was still attending a university.
