I saw this German documentary about the egg industry.

They ship the males out of country where they are raised in sheds, then sold to Africa.

I think the best solution is to not buy eggs. A good replacement is mung bean flour. It has similar nutrition and flavor, can be obtained cheaply, and spares chickens from being exploited by humans.

Humans are animals. Why doesn't it make sense to protect the rights of beings that can feel and know they exist over biological material that can't feel or know it exists?

AETA is a bullshit law that was designed to slap a terror label on protected speech that was causing corporations to lose money. Good free documentary about some of the first people prosecuted under AETA below. https://tubitv.com/movies/100010873/the-animal-people

Yes, we were protesting the forced feeding of ducks for foie gras. Foie gras is so cruel it's banned in over 15 different countries. The birds livers swell up to 10x their natural size making it hard for them to breathe. Many die from lesions on their esophagus from having tubes jammed down their throats over and over again.

The vast majority of aborted fetuses are not sentient. Sentience is the ability to know oneself exists through feeling. Yet in the US, there are laws protecting insensate biological material but not sentient male chicks ground up alive in the egg industry. I see the moral value of a day old chick as far more than a 14 week fetus since the male chick has sentience and can feel pain while a 14 week old fetus cannot.

Ideally, these male chicks could be taken to an animal sanctuaries. With the scale of the industry and the rarity of farmed animal sanctuaries, it wouldn't be possible for all of them. For the ones that can be rescued, life on a sanctuary is much better than in the wild or on a farm in a dark shed.

YOGA STUDIO CANCELS OMNI EVENT Thanks for the support!

They source animal products from farms that use gestation crates and battery cages. Gestation crates and battery cages make the lives of animals significantly worse.

Thank you :)

I can tell you from personal experience these digital actions help win campaigns. If she complains to Omni, this is a success. I know firsthand social media exposure is the crux of why some restaurants drop foie gras.

i hear what you're saying. my goal is to get more engagement with animal rights content. and also raise awareness about how cruel foie gras is.

there’s one argument here: freedom over your own body.

Animals should have freedom over their bodies too. It's hypocritical to be pro-choice, but then force cows to have arms shoved up their anus to be artificially inseminated for dairy products by buying their secretions. It's hypocritical to think you deserve total control over an animal's body for taste pleasure. Be vegan.

There are 80 billion land animals killed for trivial, unnecessary reasons every year. Stop breastfeeding off of another species in adulthood and paying for chicks to be thrown in blenders. That's fucking weird.

people who think animal abuse is wrong

It's pronounced cash. It's a dumb name for the restaurant. It's a restaurant in Little Rock, Ark. Overpriced, animal abusing establishment.

To use a modern, Western, privileged, moral stance on something humans have been doing for millennia is just silly.

You are diseased in understanding and religion.

Come to me, that you may hear something of sound truth.

Do not unjustly eat fish the water has given up,

And do not desire as food the flesh of slaughtered animals,

Or the white milk of mothers who intended its pure draught

for their young, not noble ladies.

And do not grieve the unsuspecting birds by taking eggs;

for injustice is the worst of crimes.

And spare the honey which the bees get industriously

from the flowers of fragrant plants;

For they did not store it that it might belong to others,

Nor did they gather it for bounty and gifts.

I washed my hands of all this; and wish that I

Perceived my way before my hair went gray!

It's very sad. Because pieces of sh*t want to wear fur, they are tortured like that. Plus there is synthetic fur that looks exactly like the stolen skins of trapped animals. But no, ultra rich scum want to torture animals for a status symbol. I wish all foxes could be freed from their cages.

I tried that now my scrotum is stretched out like a fucking yard!

I was not implying the person is a rpist. I was using rpists as an example of why getting sensory pleasure from an act doesn't make it morally right.

Any argument for plant sentience is an argument for veganism since according to the USDA, animals consume over 70% of soy and 40% of corn in the US (humans only consume 10% of corn directly). Corn and soy are the two largest crops. Not only does buying animal products kill the animal for that product, but amplifies crop deaths from all the crops they are fed and are inefficiently converted to flesh. You can be vegan and not eat mushrooms. 95% of plant biologists are in agreement plants are not sentient. If they were, still makes sense to be vegan.
