You are *not* a hypocrite. It's funny bc in these kinds of convos, we always see people saying things like "I want to make the world better for animals, but I do still eat meat and use leather" -- and I always feel for them when they say that. I feel bad bc it's like they think unless they're a vegan or something close, that they're not "doing enough"...and that's just not true! ANY and EVERY little thing you do is meaningful and important, it truly is. Everything,
every little thing, counts. Bc the alternative would be doing nothing, merely bc we can't do "everything" (whatever that is).
Also, veal (like liver pate for the poor ducks) is particularly and tortuously cruel - it's one of the worst of the worst...so it's a meaningful thing to speak out against, imho. Same as liver pate, regular fur farms, dog/cat fur farms in China (omg), puppy mills...these are all particularly horrific.
It's like that saying "Doing nothing is not a prescription for change"...which is true...so the alternative to that saying is "Doing SOMEthing is a prescription for change" -- meaning, any and every little thing.
