    utterly ineffective at actually meaningfully changing the mass cruelty of the meat industry.

    There should be no “meat industry” at all you despicable fucking ghoul

    “fundamentally not so bad” ? you morally bankrupt imbecile, go watch Dominion

    Stop murdering and eating sentient beings

    PETA “shelters” have a higher kill (euthanasia) rate than any other organization.

    Close to a million cows are murdered daily (not to mention pigs, ducks, etc.) - almost universally after a life of torture or soon after birth - but yeah, sure, shelters kill more, makes total sense

    Since you obviously feel guilty (consciously or not) but do not seem to have the basic morality to stop profiting from the mass torture and killing of sentient beings for your personal pleasure, at least have the decency to keep quiet about it instead of trying to jump through logical hoops justifying yourself

      It’s more the fact that this movement spends all its energy shutting down Fois Gras and Angora and has had ZERO impact on the wholesale slaughter of sentient beings across the meat industry except to shift a growing portion from farms in the US and Europe where there are some meager standards to farms in asia that have zero scruples and will torture without reserve to make an extra juan.

      Fucking useless caricature of activism. All your outrage would be more effectively spent on literally anything else.

        “Animal cruelty is fundamentally not so bad, and we shouldn’t shut down animal abuse farms because someone else would abuse the animals anyway”

        ok

        Literally the same argument as “we shouldn’t pollute less cuz India and China”

          Jesus fucking you ARE THE PROBLEM.

          It’s not “no point in opposing polution because china would”

          It’s literally the same people and they are providing a service that YOU consume (whatever form lf food you eat, any shit you buy off amazon, the car you drive, the phone you use, etc…) all you have said is “it’s fine if you pollute as long as you do not do it in front of me” “it’s fine if you torture animals if it’s not in front of me”

            The incoherent ramblings of the ill informed.

            I think most of the people you’re yelling at don’t actually eat animals. It’s not “don’t do it in front of me”, it’s “don’t do it”.
