    You don’t have to be vegan to agree that animal farming of the 21st century is cruel and we could do better than that

      But it’s easier to whinge like a reactionary at the people demanding an end to the systematic breeding into existence of animals for the sole purpose of exploiting and killing when ending that unfathomably cruel system gives me the ickies 😭

        Animals don’t inherently deserve ethical treatment. My only gripe is the carbon emissions, so I just eat lots of chicken
