People believed in animal rights for hundreds of years before 1944 think of the Jains and al-Ma'arri.
What we do to animals leads to human cruelty. The idea of controlling others and using them for our own purposes stems entirely from animal husbandry.
you can't prove this.
Taking away someone’s autonomy, forcing them to do things they don’t want to do, pushing them to have offspring, lying that someone who is different doesn’t feel pain, the stealing of babies, the forced labour, the in-humane conditions, the punching and kicking that’s involved with both family farms and factory farms, the the gassing of the victims, the slicing of someone’s throat.
this isn't proof. it's a hypothesis.
Doing these to animals makes it way easier to do it to people.
But you’re just sealioning at this point.
this is more hypothesizing. it's not proof of your claim.
your accusation of sealioning is also bad faith.
