Animal Rights The Abolitionist Approach to Animal Rights

[Clueless Git]

This kind of situation plagues me (as a bizarre example):

Neutral Party: I have a truck full of baby calves. I am on my way to the slaughterhouse. If you like, I will instead drive them to a well-known, corporate sponsored farm sanctuary. Yes spares their lives, any other answer and they will be veal in an hour.

New Welfarist: YES - for Chrissakes! Spare them.

Abolitionists: Go vegan.

Is this unfair? Off the mark?

Your scenario offers a choice of two messages to be sent out to the very predominantly omni public there, Ded.

1. If you don't like what you see here, go vegan.

2. Every animal truck you see on the road could be on its way to a happy farm.

Which message do you think the meat industry would prefer to be heard?

WTH! Health check?!?!

WTH! What?

It's just of one those 'eat your sliced up piglet with a clear conscience' baby steps you said you'd settle for.

No, I think it was more of a check to which were still alive.

No, I think it was more of a check to which were still alive.

Living/not living would be a fair indicator of overall health.

I concede this point to you, CG. (Damn you.) If both sides keep coming up with such convincing arguments - I'm forever conflicted.
