Here's an odd take to eating vegetables that many people don't think about....
Vegetable harvesting is not cruelty-free. When you buy your veggies in the market you see a bag of veggies, often already cleaned for you.
What you don't see... The harvesting equipment kills animals. Rabbits, mice, whatever else is living in the fields gets killed by the equipment. Especially if they burrowed their little dens under the fields.
So if you're eating machine-harvested vegetables to be "cruelty free"... remember, just because you don't see a dead mouse or rabbit next to that vegetable does not mean it wasn't killed.
I call this "wearing blinders". It's the mentality of "if i don't see it, it didn't happen" that people use. Same reason why many people who scream about how "meat is murder" turn around and use products that dead cow parts went into. Your tooth paste for example doesn't look like a cow so... it's easier to pretend the cow's glycerine wasn't really used for it, even though the cow still died.
Are you a vegetarian? For what reason?
