It’s more the fact that this movement spends all its energy shutting down Fois Gras and Angora and has had ZERO impact on the wholesale slaughter of sentient beings across the meat industry except to shift a growing portion from farms in the US and Europe where there are some meager standards to farms in asia that have zero scruples and will torture without reserve to make an extra juan.
Fucking useless caricature of activism. All your outrage would be more effectively spent on literally anything else.
"Animal cruelty is fundamentally not so bad, and we shouldn't shut down animal abuse farms because someone else would abuse the animals anyway"
Literally the same argument as "we shouldn't pollute less cuz India and China"
Jesus fucking you ARE THE PROBLEM.
It’s not “no point in opposing polution because china would”
It’s literally the same people and they are providing a service that YOU consume (whatever form lf food you eat, any shit you buy off amazon, the car you drive, the phone you use, etc…) all you have said is “it’s fine if you pollute as long as you do not do it in front of me” “it’s fine if you torture animals if it’s not in front of me”
The incoherent ramblings of the ill informed.
I think most of the people you're yelling at don't actually eat animals. It's not "don't do it in front of me", it's "don't do it".
What percentage of the us population do you think is vegetarian?
I dunno, I'm not american. Google it
