They're usually shredded alive almost immediately because they're seen as "waste" since they don't lay eggs

I have been seeing a lot of animal abuse posts on here lately. I hadn't noticed 196 being like that in the past on here or Reddit. Is there a trend toward that for this community in general? I'm well aware of how fucked the industry is, but I also don't sub to this community for that. I am here for little gay people shit posting in my phone. These just make me sad. I can't personally do anything to stop this. I don't want to unsub, and there's not a great way to filter, unless it's all the same OP? :(

You can go vegan and stop giving these people money

this won't stop the fact it'll keep happening and keep making people sad

You sound like queer people in the 80s and 90s.

"What does it matter if one person accepts me? Won't change anything and it just bums me out."

Now, acceptance is the default position for most folk.

as a queer person in the now I do not think this is comparable, at all.

Well, as a queer vegan. Its really hard not to notice that bigots and carnists say the same sort of things.

"You're just trying to feel special." "It's unnatural, your gentials/teeth were evolved for a specific use". "Stop trying to convert kidsto your cult." "Queer/vegan people always think they are so enlighted."

But more to the point, defeatism is always an easy excuse to do nothing. But individual actions can have ripple effects through generations. Do you think that those at stonewall would expect an entire month celebrating their actions? Enough people making a choice not to support animal agriculture puts the concept out of business. Do I expect that or liberation soon? No. But it's gotten LIGHTYEARS better on both fronts in my own lifetime.
