Yeah it’s certainly more philosophical than practical. Here’s another odd quandary: we as vegans agree that in certain situations, it’s okay to kill an animal (our favourite “stuck on an island with a cow” scenario). If people in remote artic areas HAVE to kill and eat animals to live, are they technically vegan? They’re avoiding the use of animals as much as is practical?

Arguably, body building by definition isn’t vegan.
If we accept that crop death is inevitable, body builders are unnecessarily killing more animals purely for aesthetic reason.
I wouldn’t ever say that to a non-vegan as it’s just too in the weeds, but still interesting.
