What about feeding vegans to pets, or pets to vegans?
You can't feed pets to vegans. As soon as they eat it, the pet stops being a pet and the vegan stops being a vegan.
"You can't have your vegan and eat it, too."
What if you feed vegans to vegans? I mean, if you take 'you are what you eat literally...
It would be vegan if the person being eaten consents.
veganism eschews all exploitation. there is no carve out for consent in the vegan society's definition
It's implicit. If consent was given, it wouldn't be exploitative. (And obviously, that's contingent upon non-coersion.)
common definitions of exploitation make no mention of consent either.
What? Where are you looking, the dictionary?
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/exploitation/
Consent is mentioned plenty.
encyclopedias are not dictionaries
An astute observation. Good thing I get all my knowledge from dictionaries so I can have a paper thin understanding of everything.
three mentions across 2 paragraphs. all of the mentions imply that consent would somehow relieve accusations of exploitation, but that isn't established in your article for a certainty, and at best i'd say it's debatable. i don't care to debate about it. it's clear that the vulgar use of the term is unrelated entirely.
Your assertion was that consent isn't at all relevant to veganism in regards to exploitation. However, if there exist situations in which consent could relieve the existence of exploitation then it must be relevant to consider.
Also, not that it matters, but there are 10 mentions if you also search for "consensual", but that's not really here nor there.
If you don't wish to debate, you're free to not respond at any time.

it's not clear that the vegan society would allow for any exploitation, consensual or otherwise, and to the extent that sometimes people consent to being exploited, there is no reason to believe that exploitation ceases to exist in those cases.
What about feeding pets to pets or vegans to vegans??
