The doe has no concept of pronouns. I promise calling it “it” isn’t doing anything to hurt it.

As someone who has been vegan for 25 years, I really appreciate your choices and empathize with your motivations. If, however, your goal is to make a difference, you might want to avoid alienating your audience before you’ve even said anything.

You wouldn’t call people “it”. It’s about showing respect.

But you would immediately jump in to correct another adult’s use of language, as if they were a child. Despite this talk of respect.

I know a few people who use it/its pronouns. While I agree that treating animals with respect is a good thing, it pronouns are not necessarily a sign of disrespect or objectification.
