All violence, all injustice, all oppression is interlinked. How we treat nonhuman animals sets the lower boundary for how we treat each other. The more cruelly we treat non-humans, the more terrible a weapon dehumanization is.

Empathy for fellow animals is a primary disposition that’s only dulled by a process of intense social conditioning. Why else would we need to hide the truth of our violent abuse of them from ourselves? Why else would we have elaborate guilt expiation rituals & so . . . .

You want the products of violence without having to witness the violence, you want to benefit from the atrocities you cause without accountability, you think only of yourself & ignore me, my pain, my distress, my suffering & my resistance. You are both tyrant & coward.

The simple fact that there are actually policies/rules/guidelines for killing a pregnant cow should be all the reason anyone needs to just #GoVegan
This should be posted on a sign above the meat counters in all grocery stores. Better yet, have customers read and sign it before they can buy meat.

It’s the 21st century. Would someone please remind anyone involved in any form of animal racing of that fact, and while we’re at it let’s ban all forms of animal ”entertainment”. I’m sure the animals aren’t entertained.
This poor girl, 3yr old Campout , “bled” – almost assuredly from pulmonary hemorrhage – then fell, then was “vanned off” the track. #HorseracingKills #EndHorseracing #HorseracingWrongs #AnimalRights #AnimalAbuse #AnimslCruelty

This Poor, Poor Girl - Horseracing Wrongs
According to the chart for Delta Friday, this happened to Campout: "stopped midway down the backstretch, bled, fell and was transported on the ambulance."

Absolutely. I’ve always considered myself kind to animals, but having been insulated and conditioned by corporate America until I was in my 20’s, I didn’t give much thought to how my meals got to my plate. I regret that ignorance, but I don’t think it made me a bad person; just uninformed. (1 of 2)

We know why people deny, withhold & deride empathy; it’s an investigatory tool, a highly developable form of knowledge & understanding that reveals truths they’d rather pretend don’t exist or matter so they can avoid the obligation of an appropriate moral response.

'Culture' is not a shield for cruelty and inflicting unnecessary suffering on the vulnerable.
F cultural habits and traditions that include animal abuse. Progressive people don’t cling to outdated barbarism

Within our brutal, merciless treatment of other animals, we see how power corrupts both truth & language. It’s the playbook of totalitarianism wherein the powerful control what the truth even means. Hence absurdly, we come to believe that needless violence is “humane”.

Some of us are fortunate enough to discover that you’re not all merciless & indifferent to our plight; that some of you recognise that we’re fully deserving of moral consideration & refuse to participate in our violent abuse. We wish there were more like you.

People cling to any bullshit argument or point the finger of blame at anyone or anything except themselves to avoid interrogating, let alone changing their own behaviour. Anything to convince themselves that “this doesn’t require my attention”. As if their complicity in violence is unproblematic.

To enjoy the end products of violent abuse one must ignore what has happened to the individual so you may reduce them to a consumable product. Within this callous, dishonest deception you erase the individual & deny the gratuitous violence that they endured in your name.
