Default Now even spiders, squid and lobsters could have rights, and about time too!

Fine, well, I don't support animal abuse comparable to that
perpetrated by most animal agriculture that exists today, so why can't
I criticize people for supporting such abuses?
==========================

And, it is equally right of us to criticize those that pretend to care about
animals
when ALL they do is avoid meat. It is equally right of us to criticize
those that
ignore their brutal, inhumane impact on animals while complaining about what
they
think others are doing. As long as you continue to contribute to the deaths
of billions of
animals wrold wide for nothing more than your entertainment, then you are
just blowing
hot air and hypocrisy, fool.

If raising animals for food causes significantly more harm than is
necessary, and there is no compelling need to do it, why is it
justified?

=======================
there is no compelling need for rice either. No compelling need for
potatoes. There
is no compelling need for bananas.Yet the production of all of those causes
far more
brutal, inhumane deaths of animals than those animals in slaughterhouses.
Why do you
think those deaths are necessary? Why is it not justified for us to point
out the ignorance
and hypocrisy of your claims, eh killer?
