Why is it dogs being mistreated is wrong to y'all, but not the animals y'all eat?
Because we care how even the animals we eat live.
And there is a line people draw.
Some draw it between cows and Dogs, other people draw it between chicken and fish, and others between broccoli and potatoes.
The line is all conscious life capable of suffering.
Then plants deserve not to be eaten too https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)002623
The line is subjective.
Emitting sounds is not equal to conscious awareness and a capacity for suffering and you know it.
Said no one. All animal cruelty is shit.
