Obviously people should stop buying meat, Israeli goods, items produced with child labor etc to the best if their abilities and it is extremely silly to imply otherwise, smacking of treatlerite tendencies. However as folks have pointed out individual consumption choices are not the political mechanism which will bring down child labor/Zionism/meat farming. Therefore going on endlessly about individual consumption habits instead of encouraging some kind of collective action or actually effective intervention also comes across as performative and deeply unserious. Some one who eats an occasional cheeseburger and blows up a slaughterhouse is objectively a better vegan than someone who never touches a cheeseburger and doesn't blow up a slaughterhouse.

Vegans should not blow up slaughterhouses. That would harm the animals inside.

how do animal releases usually go for the released animals and local wildlife?

[–] simpletailor@hexbear.net 2 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

The solution is sanctuaries, not releasing them into the wild

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

there are not currently sufficient sanctuaries for tens of millions of cows. people aren't even set up to move a few hundred cows let alone take care of them in great numbers.

not that it would make a dent but liberating one facility is already not very feasible even if you're not also doing the hypothetical not recommended terrorism.

[–] meatcringe@hexbear.net 1 points 2 hours ago

there are not currently

Correct. Fortunately, that's where we come in.

Are we really doing outdoor cats?

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

if you're breaking into peoples' homes to let the cats outside i guess

[–] meatcringe@hexbear.net 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I do not recommend doing that.

That would be up to us

[–] meatcringe@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

This subthread was about freeing animals from slaughterhouses until you made it about outdoor cats with your weak comment about wildlife in which you implied that vegans want to just loose livestock upon the countryside.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

activists have, in the past, done releases of animals such as minks into the local wild with no plan or caring beyond the breakout.

idk what you're planning to do with a bunch of cows or whatever but there's probably several good reasons that kind of action isn't super common.

Ah, I see where the confusion is. Here's some helpful reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_sanctuary 💚

that would be cool
