The animals were still bred and raised for slaughter, but evidently in some kind of soulful way we don't really hear about. Tags: Activism Economics Ethics Language. Essentially, industrialized farming=soulless, small family farm=soulful. I don't know how any person's soul can be considered fed at the expense of another sentient being.

There is a profound difference between what Sea Shepherd does and what the Animal Liberation Front does, but there are also similarities, and those similarities increase in number if a direct action by the ALF (or anyone else) is an open rescue and therefore a direct defense of sentient nonhumans being attacked by humans. No surprise there.

I long for the realistic hope that one second will pass without torture and slaughter and enslavement, and I know perfectly well that that second, despite Earth Days and Earth Hours and Meat-Free Days, isn't going to happen. I rescue, I adopt, I do TNR, and I connect others to resources to do the same. People are simply too selfish.
