Literally nothing else.

A person who thinks it’s okay to force pregnancy and birth onto other life forms. In the US we call these assholes “republicans”

This is an example of behavior that pushes anyone who isn’t a militant vegan away. I even know vegans who have second thoughts about their decisions over attitudes like those represented in the comment above me.

Neither do I. If I had my say, everyone would spend some time on a farm and kill their own food at least once.
There is empathy, and there is misappropriation. Farmed animals have it better than wild animals.

In all fairness that heavily depends on the type of farming. I highly doubt mass farmed chickens have it better than their wild counterparts given they have about 2cm² of space available before they have to trample on another chicken.
Free range farming however I absolutely agree is better for the animals than living in the wild. Imo given the various benefits (mostly the extremely reduced need for antibiotics, seriously we have to stop feeding them to animals: it’s biting us in the ass already) it offers over industrial scale farming we should move back to it.
