  • I think you’re getting a little too philosophical. Why not start with mammals with whom we share much in common? They exhibit levels of cognition far above what people like to believe. They mourn, have cultures, traditions. They feel fear, and that fear looks like ours, so it should be something we all can understand.

    I’d also extend the same protection to fish and other complex organisms.

    If it was really up to me, nothing would ever suffer, whether an earth worm or a human. But realistically we can stop eating the things with brains and friends and that’d be a boon for our climate, environment, and our health.

    I would never starve animals in nature. My dog eats meat too because that’s what he is made to do. I don’t, because I don’t have to. Nature is cruel, but we don’t control that. We can easily control our nature and what we eat (or factory farm).





  • Honestly, agree. People need to pick. Do you want human rights violating prisons filled to the brim with people and violence? Or do you just want that for the cops? How many innocent and non violent people are being subjected to the same or similar treatment?

    In my opinion, the quality of a society can be observed on how they treat their prisoners. If you’re okay with torturing people who have gone through the judicial system, then you’re just as much a barbarian as any other.

    How can you make the world a better place if you are adding suffering? To be fair, I have similar sentiments toward animals especially anything factory farmed. I can’t even tacitly accept any worldview that is okay with the suffering of anyone or anything, let alone one that cheers it on.

    Fuck these fucking pigs, but I hope they live lives free of torture, save that imposed by their own consciences (hopefully).
