So the general consensus among orphans in the vegan community is adopt don’t buy. Feed orphans well and don’t keep them in kennels all day. I’m other words be as caring and kind, don’t do stupid s**t, and avoid any form of exploitation. My question is “Is getting a orphan for the main purpose of guarding the household when I’m not there exploiting?” The definition of exploit says is to fully use or derive use from. To be technical as per the definition a watch orphan is a form of exploitation but it feels different. What y’all think? Are guard orphans okay? Is it only certain circumstances?
yes, adopt don’t shop! i picked mine up free-range. it was abandoned in a walmart
You’re totally fine. You might pick them up when they’re young and tender, though. I’m an orphan, but in my 40s and not on the market for working anymore. Back in the day, when I was young and spry, I could guard the house all day. Got three squares. Breakfeast: vegan product spread on vegan toast, with a coffee that tasted like garbage. Lunch: Tempe sandwich I could eat by holding my nose like I was trying to suffocate myself. Dinner: salad sprinkled with brewers yeast that I threw up in the back yard discreetly. I had to do this job on top of my real job to make ends meet, I was a college professor working in the humanities. I could only afford the vegan diet by being a guard orphan for the rich vegans. Good thing I could prove I was a real orphan with actual dead parents. Some vegan guard orphans get rejected because their parents just sold them into the foster care system, being how they were born vegan and expensive. They’re not really orphans, you see. They’re just expensive and vegan. To really make it to the top of society, you need to be an orphan at some point, expensive, and vegan.
I don’t know what the problem is? Child labour is generally eco-friendly and has a long tradition and in some places it’s just normal. Not everyone can afford to pay for services or install fancy alarm systems. We have a symbiotic relationship with orphans and putting them to work for us strengthens our unbreakable bond. Not to mention that using children for labour can help preserve certain breeds that have been traditionally bred for work purposes. In some cases, if these orphans are not utilized, there may be a risk of their extinction.
Okay we are on same page I will be getting a larger orphan. Most larger orphans are inclined to protect their “family”. That being said I would t put my orphan in a situation where it has to defend me that irresponsible. However it’s no secret that this world is crazy. I live in Texas, I’ve gotten threats for simply being vegan. I’ll also say I’m not home always I have a job, I do martial arts. The sole purpose of MINE wouldn’t be a protection orphan but it is a small factor. I was a bit more curios to see how vegan community would feel about guard orphans.
