And the vast majority of "livestock" lead short, miserable, torturous lives.

We made this world. We cause all this unnecessary suffering. But we don't have to.

    This is measuring biomass, so by weight, rather than by individuals.

    i.e. One whale and 10000 mice each counts for the same % amount.

            If it's 'number big' that is the line to convince someone, we're not really communicating the ideology of anti-exploitation well.

            This image is just some pop science thing to share on Twitter.

                Environmentalist arguments are good up until a point. But they fail when the omni goes "what about my backyard chicken" or "what about honey" or some other way that they can sustainably raise a living being to exploit.

                It's why you shouldn't make it the basis of your arguments. It's a good argument of course, but the better one is anti-exploitation. Why segue and leave room for misinterpretation when we can teach the ideology we already understand and are most firm in communicating.

        Thank you for watching it; it's important for us to realize what is done to animals daily.

        It's free on Youtube, just watch it.

        It's entirely about how we have hyper capitalized animal agriculture to the extent that any humanity has been ripped from the equation. The best documentary I've ever seen on the topic of factory farming.
