Here is the official definition of veganism, and it is interesting.  It is really open ended, that suggests it is not a dogmatic religious cult that worships animals roaming the planet free of boundary and intrusion.  

I mean, if you go to their website https://www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/definition-veganism, you will see a picture on the front page of happy goats in a barn smiling out the barn window.  If the vegan society were really using the words exploitation and cruelty to go the extreme(wild horses/free the animals promotion), they would not promote something so far from the extreme(farm animals in a barn).  If they were really extreme, they would argue those goats in the barn and "cruelly locked up" against their will and "exploited for some or such purpose".  But, they are not.  They are promoting traditional husbandry with that picture.  

"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 humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

It is a view that contradicts Scripture.  See Genesis 9:  

[1] And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth. [2] And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea are delivered into your hand. [3] And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you.

God blessed Noah and his descendants (i.e. all humanity) to increase, multiply and to use animals, birds, and fish for food.  These vegans are calling this God-given right "exploitation" as if there were something wrong with it.

I find veganism interesting and am sympathetic towards it. I can understand not wanting to promote cruelty towards animals and also the environmental concerns. And also eating simpler foods for spiritual reasons though I don't think most vegans are vegans for this reason. I mean many monks in the past would not eat much meat. Sometimes I think my ideal diet would be to eat nothing but potatoes, but I don't think that would be healthy so I have never tried it. But I do try to avoid eating a lot of meat.

I recently posted a video exposing some of the horrendous and immoral practices in the dairy industry.

There's another on how Muslims ritually slaughter their cows; they basically bleed them to death.

geremia - Their problem is not with the word vegan.  Their problem is with what it represents.  I try to avoid using words or phrases(plant based) that do not mean what they represent(in this case the problem of bestiality/cruelty/exploitation in the industry).  

Modern catholic carnivores are not censoring a vegan video because it "might" be against old testament salvation history/animal sacrifices and therefore some established catholic schools of thought.  No, they are censoring it because they don't want to be alone in their consumption of non organic meat and dairy.  

My posts point out the problem of anti veganism(censoring revealing the graphic facts of the industry), and the possible compatibility of veganism short term with the gospel.  Someone just started a thread recently lamenting about how "evil is proclaimed as good in our day and good is proclaimed as evil".  Yet, we have a thread like this one here finding relevancy(veganism regarded as evil).    

Yes, the monastics are the pillars of the church.  They are our role model, not our scape goat.  But, catholics seem to think the latter.  Hello vatican 2 contradiction and the fall of even the monastic.  The vegan society does not advocate stopping taking non vegan medicine.  This is one of the reasons I consume organic butter.  It helps me get more/sufficient food down due to taste, and I get some inexpensive fat.  However, I may cut it out due to the fact that artificial insemination of animals is very problematic due to the bestiality involved, the lack of genetic diversity, and the fact that cows should not be eating grain(all of these probably institutionalized in organic market).  

And, yes, a traditional plant based diet would fix the problem that our culture seems to have with masturbation and pornography use.

Matthew explained his reason for removing your post here: https://www.cathinfo.com/fighting-errors-in-the-modern-world/value-of-shocking-inappropriate-videos-in-spreading-the-truth/msg610596/?topicseen#msg610596

One of the purposes for having a moderator is for him to make this sort of judgemental call.  It was a perfectly reasonable thing for him to do.  

Veganism, as a philosophy, is not compatible with Catholicism.  It is evil and closely linked to other evils promoted by leftists. 

The practices of monastics are for those who are called to that life.  You might as well claim that the married should refrain from sex because monks are celibate.

I think most vegans don't eat meat not because there is something intrinsically wrong with meat and animal products, but because they are rightly disgusted in how our meat and animal products are raised.

Consider these facts:

- chickens live in a cage 1ft x 1ft stacked one on top of another, 1000 or more to a building, their entire lives, eating whatever is put in front of them including animal feces, are shot up with hormones and antibiotics to prevent them from getting sick.  Sound tasty?

- cows are routinely fed their own manure as food.  They are packed in so tightly that they can barely move. Sick cows, old cows, whatever, are beaten, prodded, hoisted alive, to put beef on your table. Mmmm....

- milk cows are artificially inseminated (never meet a bull), are impregnated every year to keep milk production up, never have a break between babies, and never meet their babies because the babies are stripped off mamma, are given massive hormones to increase milk production, and lots of antibiotic routinely.  The cows never see The sun.  The milk cows get all kinds of infections including mastitis (pus).  The FDA says a certain percent of that in your milk is o.k.  yum....

- meat chickens?  Just YouTube it, but do it on an empty stomach.  Gross!

I could go on and on.

How to solve it?  Buy from local ranchers and farmers!  

Most cities have farm market days.
Most family farmers and ranchers sell on Craigslist.

When I lived in the city we met the cow, bought the cow, had it delivered to a butcher, I was given a tour of the facility to know how the cow would be butchered (very humane).  I got several families together to share in the meat.  Eating well can be done, and done cheaper than buying organic in the store.

I no longer think vegans are nuts.  I think they're trying to be healthy.
