An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You're trying to draw a moral equivalence between being a migrant farm worker and being tortured, raped, and killed. I'm genuinely at a loss for words.
I was asking a sincere question, to be frank, but I can see that's not welcome among your peers here. If I was drawing any moral equivalence though, it would be between said "migrant farm worker" 's inability to provide for their very human child in any way that resembles stability much less any chance to escape the exploitive cycle of our system and an animal "being tortured" "and killed". (I'm not aware of any food product that first rapes the animals, fyi.)

Dairy. Cows have to be kept pregnant so that they keep producing milk.
I can't tell if you're joking or...
