Ethical Veganism
Animal Crossing: New Horizons allows players to commit some acts that are deemed not vegan such as fishing, catching bugs, digging up clams and digging up clams. [1] By allowing users to complete these actions in the game, developers are normalizing these non-vegan activities. Additionally, these activities can cause a moral conflict for users that identify as vegan, as much of the gameplay surrounds performing these actions. Much of the money earned within the game can be obtained through fishing and catching bugs, prohibiting vegan users from the same gameplay as non-vegan users.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons also helps to promote some of the ethics and moral views of veganism by allowing animal villagers to be seen with the same rights, emotions, and abilities as humans. [2] Portraying an island where animals and people cohabitate peacefully, users of Animal Crossing: New Horizons are able to comprehend the ideals of veganism, and the value of both humans and animals. One of the key aspects of ethical veganism is the idea that humans do not own pets, nor are they above animals. Rather, they live with animals and cohabitate in the same environment. [3] Animal Crossing: New Horizons demonstrates these ideals and how well they can be comprehended and achieved with the villagers of the island.
