Can you put a content warning on animal abuse please? This made me feel physically ill.
I agree it's disturbing and a CW is suitable, but if it makes you feel any better I'm pretty sure that's a rubber chicken in the photograph (maybe you already knew that). :meow-hug:
Yeah I knew it was fake (thank god) but even the fact that someone can suggest that doing this to chickens is a good idea makes me feel gross. Human psychopathy scares me. People like that should be put on a list.
But I'm sure you know that there's so much land that's not suitable to grow cucumbers on, which means my uncle needs to have his goat farm there, and if he's going to make goat cheese he might as well slaughter the goats when they get too old to produce milk, and anyway that's why veganism is impossible and we need to grow massive fields of corn and soy to feed to thousands of giant warehouses full of pigs and cows. Basic ecology.
They want a future that conspiciously looks like the past but with more treats
What else could it look like :free-real-estate:
i don't get how someone can propose something this monstrous, think it's more ethical than factory farming and then be like "yeah i'll still eat meat haha vote with your wallet for more ethical options! :so-true:"
You can build that elaborate fucking thing, or just like... eat some damn beans. jesus.
Where im at these days with non-vegan (at least walking in that direction) leftist. Like, what are you willing to give up to end Capitalism? How about poison soaked in oil that is making you sick? No?
We built the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel Don't Build the Torment Nexus.

From beasts we scorn as soulless,
in forest, field, and den,
the cry goes up to witness
the soullessness of men
The surgery would undoubtedly be a horror show even on a single chicken, at scale it would be a whole horror circus.
