Meat eaters get really defensive over their meat.

Instead of proudly stating your opinions, and shoving facts down their throat, which just makes them defensive and hate vegans even more, you gotta concentrate on emotions and also using the Socratic Method. The socratic method is just asking questions instead of making statements. So instead of saying "Animal cruelty is wrong" you say "Do you think animal cruelty is wrong?" instead of giving them the answer you lead them to discover the answer themselves. Don't see them as an enemy see them as someone who hasn't realised they are vegan yet, like you used to be a short time ago. Always be sincere and give them the benefit of the doubt they are a good person at heart just like you were before you were vegan
