I think anyone would have a problem with any extremist (in this case, you the vegan)
Abolishing human slavery was an extremist view back in old days.
Gay marriage was a extremist view back in the old days.
What you consider today an extremist view, in the future it is not, people from the future will look back at history and say:
They used to murder animals to eat them? Really?
Being called speciest and a murderer (as you may have seen through this thread) also won't make people change their lifestyles to fit your beliefs.
Yeee, I guess I don't exist then. Believe it or not, more than a decade ago, I was not a vegan. People pointing out that I was a hypocritical speciesist that supported animal murder, made me guilty and made me become vegan. Because you know, it is hypocritical to claim that you care about animals well being while you support their needless murder.
If a person feel pain and anger from seeing an animal being tortured by a zoosadist, then that person should quit their non-vegan diet. Because supporting the animal farming industries is pretty much the same as supporting a zoosadist actions.
If it does, then that person was already looking for a lifestyle change.
I was not looking to be a vegan. You are generalizing, your statement is false. Had not been for vegan extremist (extremist as a compliment) I would still be eating meat (and I would probably be fatter and unhelthier and would probably live 10 years less)
Though it would have been easier and less offensive to offer help to those seeking such changes rather than accusing them of "murder."
If they feel offended by the truth. That is their problem, maybe if they didn't had a guilty mind, they would not feel offended.
As for me, a person that is content with their lifestyle choice, will gladly tell any extremist (you the vegan) that has an issue with my lifestyle, that you're a fucking moron.
Yup. Just like any slaver owner will tell any slaver abolitionist to fuck off. Or any homophobe would tell to any homosexual activist to fuck off. Best we can do to stop them is to make them feel guilty. Sadly, this does not work with psychopaths.
