people who try to spin all forms of animal agriculture to somehow be for the benefit of the animal instead of just being able to admit that the only reason humans domesticated animals at all was because they are useful to us are like the exact inverse of vegans who refuse to see any situation ever where using an animal product might be humane and insist that even shit like harvesting honey is evil. i think it's that thing my old psychologist taught me about called "black and white thinking"

#'nooo the worms love to be killed they actually hate being alive and it's miserable and they can't even feel boiling water'#like hello??? arthropods can feel pain unfortunately. not in the same way as us but they absolutely can #idk maybe since they're cocoon jelly at the time they don't feel it but in general caterpillars and moths #(are those even arthropods or did i just make that up? help im not a science guy 😭)#anyway i know they have a nervous system and they feel pain in their own little buggy way #similar examples include people who r like nooo cows need to be milked or else it hurts them!!#and do you think that's a trait a wild animal would have? who do you think deliberately bred them to be that way? answer quick #also we keep them in cages and kill them but go off #same for sheep #'it's just a haircut! they need it or it grows too long!'#and then after their haircut they go to sleep in their cage full of 100 other sheep where they're covered in shit and fed garbage???#like we're not talking about your uncle from iowa's hobby farm where he has a few cows and some chickens that he slaughters + sells locally #we're talkin like tyson chicken factories #and when it comes to textiles we're talking sweat shop slave labor #this is real shit it annoys me to no end how meat eaters try and trivialize it in order to mitigate their own guilt #i don't think sanctimonious vegans are any better but at least they're morally right most of the time #staunch insistent self-righteous meat eaters who hate vegans are the conservatives of the food world sorry #bri babbles
