Keeping a pig in a cage so small she cannot even roll over is animal cruelty.
Raping a cow every year of her life and stealing her child from her while she bellows and cries actual tears is animal cruelty.
Keeping billions of chickens in darkness, choking on ammonia fumes, bred such that they cannot even support their own weight without injury is animal cruelty.
You are surrounded by a tsunami of animal cruelty. The abuses we visit upon our pets for our convenience and enjoyment does not even move the needle.
All the animals we create are entitled to the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence. Go vegan.
most people don't do that.
There's no good evidence of any other animal aside from us actually crying with tears. Can animals tear up a little during heightened emotions? Sure. And yeah, I understand some animals do have emotions, they're just not exactly the same as us. Doesn't mean they're worthless.
So I'm not saying the cows aren't distressed, but they aren't crying tears like sobbing children.
a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
no one does that
Okay PETA
