Although I respect their beliefs I can still understand how this would come across as double standards to meat eaters. For example: Quorn meat. Food that is designed to look and taste like the real thing

What is your opinion on this?

Why is it double standards to like the taste of meat but dislike the practice of killing animals?

But that's not what the OP was questioning. They were questioning why... fake fur is promoting real fur and therefore the killing of animals, but fake meat isn't promoting real meat and therefore the killing of animals.

Nobody said vegans are vegan because they don't like the taste of meat. [emoji23]

It was probably just one ridiculous person taking their veganism too far. As far as I know, general veganism doesn't get up in arms about fake animal prints/furs.
