At least animals don't create fascist dictators who threaten nuclear war every time they feel insecure about their small penises.

Not really sure why it's taken for granted that animals are such low forms of life that being compared to them in any manner is a horrifying insult (it isn't). And no, I'm not vegan I'm just not so brainwashed I cannot imagine empathy for animals.

Implying that comparing humans to "livestock", a word whose purpose itself is to demean, is "cheapening" human life then yes that was absolutely said

the purpose of the term livestock is to differentiate between things farmers raise.
