Plants are fed to animals, and then those animals are butchered.

    ah, that’s my bad for not properly phrasing my question.

    Like how, “bacon = not vegan” and “cheese = not vegan” and “honey=controversy, for some reason”.

    Is there some sort of ruling passed down from the vegan starchamber that says “animal fertiliser grown plants = not vegan” or is it not a common enough consideration to have an agreed upon consensus?

      I always thought: If X depends on taking advantage of animals, X is not Vegan. But I guess there are people out there who consider themselves vegan because they avoid X if X requires to actively harm animals.

      And as I said, I‘m not Vegan so who am I to judge.

        Yeah don’t they have vegan leather? So I think as long as there is no suffering involved, vegans are cool with it.

        I always think of vegan as a spectrum, (many of the best things are a spectrum).

        With sliding scales in there for stuff like morals, ethics, culture, circumstance etc.

        Once you hit a threshold of vegan traits you’re a real™ vegan.

        My judgement on this is also suspect, so ymmv.
