Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.

How does veganism propose we handle invasive species? Murder is the least ideal option but I know that in many cases this is considered best practice. Is it okay to eat an invasive species if they "have to" be killed anyway or is it preferable to leave their nutrients in the ecosystem they have invaded? These invasive species are usually our fault and would do far more harm to animals as a whole if left alone but does that give us the right to murder them?

I also have another question about hunting. I grew up in the American south where hunting deer is very common. I was always told that the hunt was necessary because if we did not reduce their population it would grow until it became unsustainable. At which point they would starve and do significant harm to the native ecosystem. How true is all this?

easy high calorie high protein meals? (lemmy.ml)

Sometimes I eat a bowl of roasted chickpeas and its pretty good. I've been noticing that a lot of my protein options like tofu and seitan aren't super high in calories. I'm trying to gain weight rn and it has been difficult as I have a very high metabolism and a small stomach. I eat beans and nuts because they fill that niche somewhat but I was curious if y'all had and recipes or advice. Thanks :D
