    Oh, I’d like to add a follow up to that, given that any fossil fuel are dead animals from yesteryear. So if veganism is about non exploitation of animals, then the question has to be raised: can a car using fossil fuels be considered vegan, given that almost 80 of its carbon footprint comes from the fuel, according to an article posted the other day.

    Also, I’d like to ask if veganism as depicted here, care about the exploitation of those who build the cars? I’m not saying anybody is great in the regard, but scrolling the list different manufacturers presented has a different pedigree on the issue.

      It is not possible to exploit today someone who died millions of years ago.

      As for what humans do to each other, I’m not the one to ask. I don’t think that “animals” in the original definition of veganism was intended to include humans, but I don’t know that for sure. I doubt that the linked article considers exploitation of humans in determining which cars to feature.
