This topic's maturity severely bothers me.

Hippies.

'Hippies'?
Uhm, excuse me?
I find that very stereotypical and rude. You are implying that all vegans are 'hippies' which is completely false. I'm a vegetarian and I would never attempt to feed a carnivorous animal a vegan diet.

I would be considered a hippie under certain standards, and I don't appreciate your comment.

Yes, the person is clearly idiotic, and has a very 'PETA' oriented mindset. But some of the commenters were wrong as well. Of course we all know how people often react to yahoo, but one even refers to feeding kittens to his snake.
Does that make him any better than the person trying to feed a vegan diet to her snake?

Also, your comment is as well very stereotypical and incorrect. I hate drugs. I am very much against drugs, drinking, and smoking. Yet, I enjoy tie-dye, hemp jewelry, art and nature, and am often seen strolling down downtown with my friends. Are they groupies? Are we stoners? No. In fact, I can't tell you how many people assume that we are druggies when in fact, we dislike drugs.
Then again, I'm also seen wearing tripp pants with chains and thigh high colorful stockings often, so now what will you stereotype me as?

Second, I take offense to your comment "Hippies." Not all vegans are hippies and not all vegans want to put their ball pythons on a vegan diet. I happen to be a vegetarian slowly transitioning to vegan and I would never even consider putting ANY of my animals on a vegan diet. This person obviously does not care about their animal's wellbeing and hopefully they find the snake a new home before they kill it.
I highly agree. I am similar, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to be a complete vegan.. I'm going to try though.
I enjoy being a vegetarian, am and satisfied with that. I'm not trying to change the world, I'm just making a personal statement.
