You going to call Fidel a reactionary? Veganism is good and something to strive for, but it's not the ultimate marker of leftist purity.
we need to gather around the campfire, eat beans, and share stories.
Yeah, the only reason we keep asking for people to stop directly equating minority oppression with animal abuse is because we want vegans to shut up. Exactly. Of course.

"genocide as the mass slaughter of any life"
This is both not what genocide is and it also trivializes actual genocides. You're right to call this view anthropocentric, but I'm not going to say that animal life is a 1:1 equivalency with human life. Industrial farming is fucked up I agree, and should be ended. I also agree that veganism is a good thing, better than eating meat. But overall it is not the same thing, not at all.
This thread is bringing me back to some of the fun arguments of the bad times.
smh, so uncivil. Protests should be quiet and in the assigned square
I wonder what the A in AED stands for. 
Germany and being on the wrong side of history.
What happened?
It's just kind of the same arguments that pop up when the vegan struggle sess flares up periodically.
