    Farm animals don’t need humane treatment if it doesn’t affect the quality of the end product. They’re not humans.

      I think it’s worth reflecting on why being human should even be a relevant metric here. That they are not human doesn’t change what they feel. If they can suffer, as chickens and other farm animals very much can, why shouldn’t we aim to prevent suffering?

      Don’t feel like you have to respond to this. I really just want you to reflect on that idea and think about it for yourself

        This person has clearly never interacted with a bird before. These dinosaurs are clearly capable of thinking, feeling, and voicing their opinions. Of course, the same applies to farm mammals. Just because we’re… More resourceful doesn’t mean we have to subjugate everything that’s “inferior” to us. That sounds like 'ye olde “they don’t need equal rights because they’re just savages”.

        You see, they don’t have souls bestowed upon them by the sky daddy, so they don’t count. You fool. You absolute buffoon. /s

      The fact people like you exist puts a permanent dread in the back of my mind.

          I’m not. I’d rather the cruel and awful people get routed so the rest of us can go on and start picking up the pieces. Why do all the rest of us deserve going down with the very worst of us?

            Your existence is a scourge on this planet as much a any human unless you don’t breed or use resources. Live in the wild and rejoin nature. Anything else is cancer.

            I am of the impression and opinion that the “very worst of us” is the majority, and our default nature.
