Description

Acharya Prashant explains that introducing the reality of animal cruelty to others requires sensitivity and expertise, as many people are unaware of the violence inherent in milk and meat production. He notes that while vegans may feel a sense of urgency or agitation upon witnessing animal suffering, an aggressive or shaming approach can be counterproductive, causing others to become defensive or even defiant. He suggests that while social media awareness should be relentless, personal interactions must be gentle and patient, recognizing that dietary habits are often deeply ingrained from childhood and social environments.
