Let's deconstruct: The interview reminds me of how the industry views us and how little they know about the community of people who care about the lives of the animals brought into this world for one reason only: to kill and eat them. Perhaps it is the industry's inability to evolve morally that is behind the times. We live our issues.

The proposition outlaws raising pregnant sows in gestation crates and raising calves in veal crates , making Arizona the first state in the Union to ban veal crates.

Since our food is delivered to us on a bun or in big bags of frozen parts, it’s easy to eat it and not think about what it was or how it was killed. Doesn’t he realize that he does not have to engage in this voluntary activity, which causes moral conflict for himself and suffering for the animals?

As the lead prosecutor in this case told the jury, this poor infant was not killed by a vegan diet. I’ll leave the question of infant care to the physicians, but I know firsthand that an adult vegan can enjoy robust physical health without contributing to the cruel suffering of animals on today’s factory farms. Children need protein.

He thinks that the treatment of animals in factory farms is morally unjustifiable, and yet, he continues to support those practices financially by purchasing and eating meat and animal products.

10,000 Birds

JULY 4, 2022

As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. This allows you to watch birds (well, at least those that are not too noise sensitive) while not having to suffer their sounds. So, the birds start collecting mud and small sticks. Nest building: a good activity for a rainy day.
