    “In today’s society, we use up our friends until they’re an empty husk, then throw away the carcass! Now get your crayons out.”

      I mean it’s a pretty apt analogy for what we do with animals. Stick a hen in a cage for 5 years forcing it to lay eggs, and once she’s too old just toss her in the grinder. It even happens to working dogs sometimes where they’ll get put down as soon as they’re no longer useful, despite mainstream human society genuinely considering them our friends and allies and not “merely livestock.”
