        in torture, the pain is the point. while i think factory farming is too ambivalent about suffering, i also believe the suffering is only incidental, not intentional. it’s not torture.

            perhaps you could explain that subtle difference to the animals

            i don’t think i can, no. but propagandists can choose to stop using emotionally charged and incorrect terms.

                this is just posturing and rhetoric. i have no problem with most forms of exploitation (this is true of most people i think). my problem is unfair, or even non-consensual, exploitation of other people.

        have you ever paid anyone at a factory farm? i haven’t, and i don’t think most people have.
