Perhaps the difference between hot car laws & rescues from animal agriculture have to do with our confused, contradictory relationship with animals: we want to protect them from suffering, but we also kill billions for food. One day, this contradiction will become untenable. 6/6

Many laws around the country codify the intuition that rescue should be encouraged. Perhaps the best known are so-called "hot car" laws, which exist in about a dozen states and provide immunity for those who break into a vehicle to rescue an overheating animal. 5/6

What if the animal rescued was not a dog in your neighbor’s pool, but a chicken or pig in a factory farm? #animalrights #animalwelfare #animalcruelty #vegan

Imagine you see your neighbor’s dog drowning in their backyard pool. You call out for the neighbor & bang on their door, but no one comes. Their gate is closed, so you unlatch it, enter the backyard, and rescue the dog. Should you go to jail for trespassing on their property? 2/6
