Can images of animal abuse please be labeled as such and get a NSFW blur please?
Isn't this standard practice ?
Slaughtering animals is standard practice in the meat industry, what's standard practice gotta do with anything?
Putting your head in the sand is not a good way to engage with the world.
This is what your beef comes from, for example. (from wikipidia fyi)
Ether accept that like nature itself we are often monstrous, or do something about it (and be laughed at most likely).
I'm literally eating vegan nuggets right now, but thanks for being an ass.
Dawg we're vegan we fucking know, we just don't want to see this shit uncensored on our feed.
Oh, I am not vegan. I just hate when people try and sanitize their view of the world.
Idk how u can look at that shit and not be vegan but alright
Do you think the people working with livestock are vegan?
I worked with cows (a dairy operation) as a young worker. I like cows, but I also know that they don't really exist in the wild as we know them.
I don't think that, no, but I still can't comprehend what it must be like to live inside a brain that can be so desensitised to this cruelty.
? Its life, its often both wonderful and cruel.
I have a hard time understanding what the inside of a mind that can not engage with reality as it is is like.
I am a big proponent of everyone at some point butchering their own food at least once.
To describe someone who has seen the cruelty and decided they won't stand for it as "not engaging with reality as it is" is deranged lmao
“not engaging with reality as it is” as in asking for photos to be censored.
Pls put the image in a spoiler tag to stop the barrage of reports. 🙏
That is my very point. It is not censored in wikipedia (and it should not be), why would it need that here?
If you want to ban me over it please do, but I don't think science (memes or otherwise) and censorship are compatible.
Nah, fam. I let people have opinions, but I have to remove it. I asked nicely. It's about common courtesy, not ideology.
Fair enough, I think my point stands well with the removal. Mind if I link to the wiki article on slaughterhouses (since there will be no image)?
That's fine. I don't mind that, I'll restore your comment if you agree to switch.
Sounds like a plan. I will change the image to a hyperlink.
Thanks dude. I appreciate it.
(You can link the original btw, just give folks a little warning first! You never know who is behind the screen.) :))
Restored.
