    I think the weird counter-point some of the anti-vegan people (on here and elsewhere) try to make is they think liberals care more about dogs than they do human life. It's not about them caring about animals, they only know to think about these actions in terms of guilt. Much like how they guffaw when journalists are attacked by cops during the riots because it's obvious a journalist covering a riot isn't there to aid the protestors in anyway, so the attack on them is basically impossible to justify, violence against dogs like this is basically impossible to justify because dogs can't break laws. It's not that they deserve to be killed less than black people, but liberals being pseudo-pacifist idealists look for guilt and purity first and the surrounding context of environement, power relations, etc. second. Some will actually look at the latter and end up with the correct stance, a lot won't though. Chuds don't at all, obviously.

      chuds actually do the same thing we do and look to the power relations first but regard them as part of the natural order of the world, an order which is under assault and must be preserved. people who use power are therefore justified in doing so by virtue of their place in the natural hierarchy (which is why Black cops do actually get prosecuted for shooting white people - the natural hierarchy has been upended).
