  It’s incredible how this always goes the same way. Somebody points out the extreme double standard we apply between behavior that would be reprehensible to our species, and that same behavior performed to a different species (that most of us struggle with understanding or having any level of communication with), and without fail, somebody comes along and goes, “you’re being misogynistic/racist by demonstrating the similarity between exploitation of animals and the same ways we exploited humans in the past, using the exact same excuses and mentality as we do for animals now!”

    it makes no sense to discuss consent from cows. do you get consent from your chair when you sit in it?

      Are you actually comparing living and feeling species with objects?

    it’s not a double standard. it’s justified discrimination. speciesism is necessary for right conduct.

    like burying zygotes in the ground and those who survive to maturity, you cut off their reproductive organs and then grind them to dust to be fed to people?

    i guess grain harvesting is totally evil.
