Despise beyond belief? Hurting animals. Hunting and fishing are fine, I'm talking about kicking puppies type thing

boy do i have a movie for you

almost everyone pays to have animas abused and hurt for them. Thinking, feeling animals. It’s horrifying. And much worse than just kicking puppies.

This one sucks because I think it isn’t unknown, but easy to ignore. The worst thing I’ve seen related to this was the other day. Someone posted a video of a barn during ventilation shutdown for culling pigs and it was one of the most barbaric things I’ve seen. It was like something from a death camp.

HUNTING AND FISHING ARE FINE!!?? 🗣🗣🗣

Fish don't have nerves to feel pain. Hunting for food is practical. Inflicting pain because you can or bc you enjoy it is messed up.

While some say the debate is not settled, I believe there is ample evidence to say that fish do indeed feel pain. You can find literature in the source above.

Then I recend my statement on fish not feeling pain.

I do however stand by hunting and fishing for sustenance is acceptable. Doing it as a "sport" is not something I agree with.

Its cruel. You do you, but hunting and fishing are red flags to me.

I respect your stance on that.
