Does the writer also think IVF means getting cucked by a doctor

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean, there's been multiple fertility doctors caught using their own sperm instead of the donor, so it's literally possible.

Obviously there's quite a difference between fucking a cow and artificially inseminating one... But IVF is consensual, I think everyone would have a problem if a doctor was forcibly inseminating women.

Tbh there's also a big difference between a cow and a woman

Oh no! I had no idea they were artificially inseminating the animals, now that is a deal breaker. /s

I can excuse abattoirs but I draw the line at a vet shoving his arm inside a cow's baby hole

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I've heard a lot of people use that same logic. "I want the cow to have a happy life before it's killed for my dinner". Isn't that the while logic behind "free range", "cage-free", etc.?

Chickens aren't supposed to live together inside a huge barn!?

the headline seems to be so clickbait-y that it has diverted most of the commenters from actually reading the article lol

You don't artificially inseminate them with your penis?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

true, but as the article explains, in some places, the legal definition of bestiality does not require a penis to be involved, nor does it provide exceptions for artificial insemination of farm animals.

the 'bestiality problem' is not (thankfully) that people are out there having sex with cows in droves, but that, in their relentless pursuit of profit, the meat/dairy industries are probably violating the law, and definitely violating the livestock, on a massive scale.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

But it seems obvious that that's not what the law is trying to outlaw and since everyone gets that it doesn't seem like a huge deal.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You do, however, fist them up to your elbow

[–] MapleEngineer 3 points 6 months ago (17 children)

That's not how artificial insemination is done. That's how you deal with digestive or reproductive issues and is very similar to how it is done in human patients. In cows you can go in right up to your shoulder.

Yes the worst thing about the meat industry XD

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

i doubt this is the worst thing. the meat industry goes loooow.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago

Well now we know not to trust new republic, that is one of the most sensationalist articles I have ever seen

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

I was thinking this must be something wild but it's just artificial insemination. Bummer

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for posting the article, it's very long but worth the read.

I wish i didn't currently live at a family members's house, so i could actually decide what i eat and get away from these disgusting practices.

For others, please refrain from arguing about this like this is some spccer match, i don't like what I'm seeing from the other comments, this should be taken seriously.

The meat industrial requires inhumanity to prosper, just like any other corporation, bit this one deals with animals for said animals' entire lives, this is systemized misery.

If any vegan is reading this, i might do a post requesting this later, but any resources for reading more or for moving to a more sustainable and less cruel way of living would be helpful.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

It sorta sounds like a copout but being vegan on a day to day basis means checking what is in every little thing you eat or drink, I mean literally checking labels and searching ingredients. And then you have to apply this thought process to every other area animals are used:

-Bath supplies -cleaning supplies -clothing/shoes -transportation ...and so on.

Best advice is to just pick whichever area you feel most knowledgeable or capable in, and become "vegan" in that category.

I'm not even entirely vegan, although its mainly because I'm still learning a lot about all the different ways animals come into our lives without realizing it.

P.s. almost forgot the parts vegans split on in some occasions, like with sugars or honey.

Thought this was about the bloke not far from where I live that was caught on a hidden camera placed by activists literally fucking pigs after hours at a pig farm.

[–] Thcdenton 2 points 6 months ago
