  Calves being ripped from their mothers and male chicks macerated is not animal cruelty?

      The only way you can have cows milk is by impregnating cows. Google how this is done, there is tutorial videos on YouTube. It is horrible.

      The only way people have egg laying hens is by killing the male chicks. This happens even with backyard chickens.

      Be real man.

        It’s extremely rare outside of I think Germany but they have commercial in-ovo sexing for laying chickens now. Conditions for laying chickens are still fucked though.

        artificial insemination is a veterinary procedure. I don’t care to watch videos of live births or spaying and neutering, but that doesn’t make them bad.

      The vast majority of that is through factory farming. It’s a cheap cop out from personal responsibility saying you only “buy local animal products.” You probably eat at restaurants or at friends’ houses without checking the source of those.

      Something doesn’t stop causing suffering because you call it a different name.

        it’s not cruelty. the suffering isn’t the intention, it’s just incidental.
