@meowingabyss A distinction without a difference. They are bred to produce milk and are slaughtered when they cannot produce milk. While the slaughter does not produce milk, they are slaughtered for their milk.
@vavaune@radi0lover They're bred for that tho. They're not wild. The vegan position isn't to keep breeding sheep and not sheer them, it's to stop breeding them and take care of the ones who already exist.
@catboygirlsrus Tbh the first person who taught me the horrors of agricultural labor was a vegan.
All agricultural labor is backbreaking, but those slaughterhouses are particularly dangerous, and leave the workers with PTSD. It all needs to go.
@landminelesbo@yurioflesbos Fruit and veg isn't supposed to replace meat tho. You should have that with meat, because meat doesn't have the fiber and carbs of beans and legumes.
@Xzylion91@JanetMeeham@coffeeandflwrs That was the liberal anti-abolitionist argument in the 1800s. "Abolition would be bad for slaves and the economy, we should focus on reforming slavery."
