Only toxic bullies steal babies from mothers and mother's milk from babies. These animals feel fear, sadness, loss & trauma like we do.
Richard Dawkins posits here that we are doing this for unnecessary reasons. He brings an interesting argument to the table: animals might feel more pain than we do

Look at all ideas of supremacy … sex, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and—more important than you think— species. That is the key to tackling the basic problem, which is alienation from nature, a.k.a. the living world.

So long as we reduce sentient individuals who possess physiological & emotional makeups so very similar to our own to mere objects for our consumption, convenience & amusement, virtually any violent atrocity is not only possible, but permissible & inevitable.

There will never be 'humane treatment' and 'welfare' in this hell for animals and a few fines now and then can never change this fact. To anyone who still consumes dairy, this is the suffering you choose to support.

Apparently, you humans not only have the ability to feel pain & to suffer, but also to empathise & possess an acute capacity for moral reasoning. From our perspective, we see no evidence of any of these claims. To us you are unfeeling, merciless demons.

The true cost of the dairy industry's 'growth' and 'profit' is enslavement, rivers of blood, forced impregnations, millions of stolen and murdered calves and a planet burning on methane.

If when making ethical decisions you rely upon majority approval rather using your moral reasoning then ethics is superfluous to your requirements & you’re obsequious conformists. Your cowardly obedience & wish to ‘fit in’ is our misery, pain & death.

There is no neutral ground to stand on once you realize that the walls we've built to hide their suffering are also the walls that define the limits of your own sense of justice and morality.

To end fascism in the USA, I guess the first step is to explain to more people what it is we don't like about fascism.
Currently, my own explanation begins with "fascism = bullying."

Within your participation in the violent abuse of living individuals, there exists a multiple murder; the callous killing of the animal individuals, the execution of your own innate capacity for empathy, the slaying of your moral reasoning & the death of your humanity.

Two weeks ago, Grindr put on a fashion show of wool from "gay" rams rescued from slaughter. The media and the Internet swooned. But this feel-good story is a window into the dark role of forced reproduction in animal agriculture.

The Internet Loves These “Gay Sheep.” The Real Story Is Much Darker.
A much-hyped fashion show with wool from “gay rams” obscures the brutal reality of an industry that exploits sheep sexuality at every turn.

“Domestication thus became the archetypal pattern for other kinds of social subordination. The model was a paternal one, with the ruler a good Shepherd, like the bishop with his pastoral staff. Loyal, docile animals obeying a considerate master were an example to all.

Turkeys are flavorless and dry, and they want to live. This Thanksgiving, @mbolotnikova.bsky.social encourages you to challenge the status quo and embrace plant-based alternatives, have conversations about ethical food choices, and create more sustainable and compassionate traditions.

When we excuse & ignore cruelty, we become the reason it is normalised. When we condition our children to suppress their innate empathy & ignore their sense of justice & participate in this tyranny, we force them to become inheritors of our base moral corruption.
