The term Vegan was coined by Donald Watson who asked his readership from the vegetarian society to come up with a term to separate the non-dairy, non-egg-eating vegetarians from the egg and dairy-eating vegetarians. Whereas the definition of Veganism
has overgone changes in its definition by the vegan society, its origins
are from the UK Vegetarian Society and further than the foundation of Veganism are from the Vegetarian society, based on the philosophy of Ahimsa which emphasizes nonviolence towards all sentient beings.
Regardless of what you call yourself or how you define Veganism,
it is objectively immoral to force people to do anything if they are being peaceful.
Verbal violence does not exist. Hate speech is not violence. And the potential for harm is not violence. We are all living in a bubble of potentiality and to make such an argument, denotes a complete and utter disregard for the basic tenants of human rights, is not only unwise and stupid but immoral.
Namaste & peace be upon your butt cheeks my naive and ignorant padawan.
