• projection Bro you’re a pro-vegan reactionary. Are you against animal abuse and exploitation? How does opposing personal ownership of well cared for chickens prevent abuse or exploitation?

    You don’t care about animals, you’re just a reactionary lashing out at the concept of animal agriculture.

      The “personal ownership” is already commodifying the animal, and the “well cared for” part is bullshit, chickens kept for laying can not be well cared for by definition, as the modern breeds are literally slowly killing themselves through nutrient depletion. Such chickens can only thrive if they for example are stopped from laying (e.g. with hormonal implants), which negates the very reason a person like that would keep them. Then, the very motive for keeping the animals in the first place will eventually drive a small scale farmer to compromise on the conditions, because keeping animals alive is not cheap in on itself.

      And don’t give me this shit about “not caring about animals” and “lashing out”, you literally wrote the most stereotypical anti-vegan slop just because I said people should eat beans rather than commodify animals
