You do this every day. It is just kept out of sight. There are 80 billion land animals currently suffering ast livestock. They will each experience atrocity on par with these kittens. The humans you pay to kill animals suffer inestimable psychological trauma, just because you like the taste of bacon and you are willing to exploit a human's poverty to get it. Act with integrity and care about cows, pigs and chickens the same way you care about kittens and puppies. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.
these statements don't smack of scientific rigor.
also you:
oh, do you have some evidence to the contrary
Guy. You're being obtuse. But okay, I'll play along.
When you buy bacon, is it alive? No. How did it get dead? Someone killed it. Did that person do it for free? No, of course not, it's an incredibly traumatizing job that people hate to do and they only do it because they are poor and can be exploited. Some of the money that you paid for that bacon necessarily goes to killing a pig. How the fuck can you even pretend you don't see that.
this isn't evidence. it's storytelling. and it's not even an accurate storytelling. The people who do the killing are paid by somebody who isn't me and they are paid long before I decide whether to buy my food.
almost no one pays anyone to kill animals, except pests I think
