There is no evidence that making exploitation more 'humane' advances that exploitation toward its abolition. Indeed, the contrary appears to be true. We have had animal welfare laws for 200 years, yet we now exploit more animals in more horrible ways than at any time in the past.
@k_sudborough @NiklausNDolores @ultrarotom Yes, my point exactly. The philosophy and value of the right and left are both one and the same when it comes to animals. The initial tweet is wrong and portrays the left as as as some sort of non violent peaceful people which they clearly aren’t.
@k_sudborough @NiklausNDolores @ultrarotom 99 percent of people aren’t vegan and nearly 100 percent of left wing politicians support farmers but yes, let’s blame the right for death and violence towards animals.
@k_sudborough @NiklausNDolores @ultrarotom Dairy isn’t violently right wing. Dairy is violent and supported by both the left and right politicians and customers.
A big dilemma — industrial chicken production is incredibly inhumane but has also had significant climate benefits by displacing more emissions-intensive beef consumption.
Great piece by @MikeGrunwald on tradeoffs.

@JamieWoodhouse Because animal rights activists and welfare groups promoting single issue campaigns like banning fur have created a speciest world where some animals matter more then others.
Here is a step by step process on how we killed animals, transported it across North America and what we are doing to reduce our emissions. I wonder if there is another way…
