An thats why I support anti speciesism.
Studies from 2015 and 2019 suggest that people who support animal exploitation also tend to endorse racist, sexist, and other prejudicial views, which furthers the beliefs in human supremacy and group dominance to justify systems of inequality and oppression.
I‘d love to see humans being treated like they treat those they think of as lesser, just for one day.
Maybe it’s because I used to live near a prison, and I had to go to the same hospital prisoners would in emergencies, but when did humans stop treating other humans like that?
Haven’t you been told that we don’t talk about that kind of oppression here? Everyone knows that mistreatment of humans is bad, but mistreatment of animals is just how things are supposed to be. They are just lesser beings after all, and such kind of thinking hasn’t lead to anything bad in history, so it’s not at all problematic.
Progressivism is about fighting oppression when it suits you, and meat is just soo convenient. The mega corps promised that nothing bad is happening there, so praise the factory farms!
You make a good point but equating mistreatment of different humans with mistreatment of a different species entirely is a false equivalence.
I wouldn’t say they’re equivalent. Obviously beating a fly isn’t as bad as beating a dog or a pig. But is beating a human much worse than beating a dog? For me it comes down to capacity to suffer I guess.
Your sarcasm is so subtle that it took me a while to understand. Thanks for chiming in. I dont get why people downvote me for saying animals should be treated fairly (yes, as fairly as humans).
Perceived ad-hominem from your quote which implies that you are racist and sexist if you eat meat.
That’s probably because you criticized their behavior (in a rather provocative way), which is often perceived as hostile and leads to downvotes.
Sooo… just capitalism working as designed.
Yeah, if can sell shit it’s a successful business & brave owners should be rewarded with profits not because of contributions to society but purely on what they could push out. However, suffering and death seems to add that extra bit of flavour to profit that we humans must obviously enjoy very much. Its fair to assume that because we really are naturally talented in not just inventing but also realising & mass producing horror beyond human imagining.
Gotta get rid of those regulations so we can have people drinking swill milk again.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – In the weeks after passing a bill, allowing West Virginians to drink raw milk, one delegate brought the drink in to celebrate and, eventually, several lawmakers have gotten sick.
I don’t totally disagree with raw milk, but it shouldn’t be allowed to be destributed. If you go to a local farm and pick up some milk that hasn’t been pasteurized, that seems reasonable, and honestly a lot better than the current system.
Doesn’t matter, my point is without regulations, you’re back to swill milk.
I think raw milk should be available to buy , as a niche product that is labelled correctly so people understand how to process it safely.
The “fuck regulations” crowd want it legal so the farmers/businesses have no obligation for food safety, thus, back to swill milk.
Libertarians will tell you that even this isn’t cause for government regulation and that the market will weed out the bad businesses by not buying their product.
That’s because the market is babies and they’d all be dead, Jim!
Were they drunk AF?
The cows? No, all the alcohol had been extracted from the macerated grains, which made it a waste product of the distillery, but the grain itself still had nutritional value so they fed it to cows. Cutting it with all that other crap they added to it led to the cows getting sick and their milk getting tainted.
Got Swill?
