      You don’t have to be vegan to agree that animal farming of the 21st century is cruel and we could do better than that

        But it’s easier to whinge like a reactionary at the people demanding an end to the systematic breeding into existence of animals for the sole purpose of exploiting and killing when ending that unfathomably cruel system gives me the ickies 😭

          Animals don’t inherently deserve ethical treatment. My only gripe is the carbon emissions, so I just eat lots of chicken

            What do you think makes the difference? They can suffer, can’t they? Is it intelligence? If a disabled person has the mental capacity of a pig, are we allowed to kill and eat them?
