There is no way any living being can get entirely away from some sort of destruction,even the if you are a minimalist just by walking you could be killing the insects that are too small to see by the human eye.Everyone has some hand in destruction,even the strongest and strictest of vegans HOWEVER that doesn't mean we should let it all go to shit and selfishly live eating and wearing and doing as we please at the cost of all non human animals.We can as a few others on this blog site have chosen to do-do the least harm.Which means reading into every product you buy,consume, wear or support.Choosing not to support the obvious ones such as dairy,meat,animal skins,the circus,zoos etc. and investigating the ones that are not blatant-what IS in that glue you are about to buy?what IS in that soil?even to NOT giving ratings to a TV show or film that exploits or supports harm to non human animals.You have a safer chance of avoiding support of animal products if you buy from vegan owned businesses,It is unlikely that a Vegan owned business would "accidentally" slip a non vegan ingredient into your product however if you go to non vegan establishments you have only yourself to blame if a dairy or meat product slips in-in fact expect it-to a non vegan they won't see it as a big deal "if only a little cheese or butter" is in it and most people won't consciously worry about if it is cooked on the same grill that the "beef burger" was if they are not vegan.
