We can barely get people to care about their fellow man, I'm pessimistic about getting people to care about the genocide we commit towards animals on an hourly basis.
Edit: And for the record I'm vegan.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y ago> the genocide we commit towards animals on an hourly basis It's not genocide, by definition, if we have no desire to extinct the species.
- sweetheart 5y agoHolocaust then?
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoStill not quite right; still centers on destruction being the intention. The problem, I think, is that you're reaching for the most emotionally-charged words when they don't actually fit. We don't hate animals; they just taste good. So it's just slaughter on an industrial scale.
- sweetheart 5y agoNo, holocaust can be used for slaughter on a large scale too, so it’s a completely accurate use of the term.
- beerandt 5y agoThe population of beef cattle isn't going to go up if everyone stops eating steaks and hamburgers.
