Although animal farming is the leading cause of destruction of forests, it is unacceptable that many in the vegan community wish to silence those of us who campaign against palm oil and other raw materials from lands in which the large-scale destruction of forests and other natural ecosystems, extermination of native plants, fungi and animals and genocide against indigenous peoples continue to take place or took place in the recent past. European countries should grow more of their food needs and mine more of their mineral needs within their own borders instead of causing destruction in South and North America, Australia, Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Similarly, many of us campaign against products in packaging which does not get recycled, urban sprawl, human population growth and introduced, invasive species.
