practicing cruelty is bad, but animal agriculture is not cruelty in and of itself. if a particular operation is acting cruelly, they should be admonished.
I would argue that animal agriculture is cruelty in and of itself. It's forcing animals into small cages, forcibly impregnating them, stealing their babies, cutting off their tails, and then painfully murdering them. It's a cruel operation
that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I can't make you see the cruelty. That's something that every person needs to see on their own.
I disagree that agriculture is inherently cruel.
And that's not something I'll be able to change your mind on. You can watch some documentaries such as Dominion if you are interested. Just be warned, it's of course very violent (as animal agriculture inherently is)
I've seen dominion. it's propaganda designed to inflict trauma, not a a sober analysis of humanitarian slaughter laws and practices.
There is no humane slaughter. That's the point. Also watching it was your own choice. It's designed to make the viewer uncomfortable.
yea. it uses well-known horror film techniques to induce trauma. sudden loud sounds, long sustained shots from awkward angles, long periods of loud sounds. it's not a documentary, it's a lesson on abusing audiences.
Do you get trauma whenever you watch a horror movie?
like sleeplessness, nightmares, vomiting/nausea? sometimes.
