while crabs and others will receive more welfare protections, people (as citizens, workers and consumers) are getting your protections slowly removed, one by one, bill after bill, staying at the mercy of corrupt politicians, ruthless employers and greedy corporations.
How long to a human being is worth less than an animal?
- anhner 5y agoIt already is in the eyes of some extremist vegans. (see the "never touch anything animal related for whatever reason" crowd but who then go on and drink gallons of cashew milk from farms of abused workers)
- ben_w 5y agoI get the impression that’s more of a lack of awareness of the higher-order consequences than direct value judgements. I see that in a lot of other cases.
- LatteLazy 5y agoThe first cases for child abuse in the USA were prosecuted using animal welfare laws. I think the same thing is true in the UK. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/15/health/15abus.html https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/15/health/15abus.html
- ben_w 5y agoDo you mean in general, or do you mean like a return to owning slaves, anti-miscegenation laws? In the latter, I’d say there’s a roughly constant probability density function over 50-year bucketed time periods. In the former, why do you imagine humans would switch to becoming worth less than animals?
