I get them free from charities very occasionally, but I don’t pay for them. They’re end of date and the charities don’t pay for them either. They get donated because they’d otherwise get thrown out. Anyway, I don’t especially like them. I eat whole foods. They aren’t particularly good for you anyway.

What happens to hens when their production slows down? The eggs that are fertilised to replace the hens who die, what happens to the male chicks? Are these chickens frankenchickens who produce 1-2 eggs a day, or are they more natural chickens who will produce an egg once a month or so? because laying so many eggs is brutal on their bodies. Since you seem like you’re a woman with name like Jessica, imagine cycling everyday for your entire life. That’s what these frankenchooks have to deal with.

That’s what you argue with? Clearly you have no argument against veganism. Is that why animal abusers season their animal flesh with…… plants?

FYI, there are a fair number of vegan communities who are MORE than willing to help you go vegan. Reach out to them if you have any questions.

If you’re not vegan, you support this. You support the torture of animals for 5 minutes of taste “pleasure.” A whole fucking life for 5 minutes of a meal.

all animal flesh humans eat is full of stress hormones. Animals don’t walk into a slaughterhouse of their own volition. It’s a horrendous place, and the animals know why they’re there.

I know what the law says in a lot of places (law != morality), that animals are “property,” but I don’t own my companion animals. They co-exist with me.

Yup. The pine for weeks or even months sometimes for their children. They can hear them. They may even be able to see them, but they can’t get to them, because milk. Mammals are incredibly maternal. Imagine having baby after baby being taken from you minutes after birth, never to see them again. Again, suffering all the way down.

There is a mother cow on a sanctuary here in australia (clarabelle). She was rescued from the dairy industry when she was pregnant. She gave birth to her son (valentine, because he was born on valentine’s day). When he was a youngin, Clarabelle would hide him from the workers at the sanctuary, probably because she was afraid he’d be taken from her. She did this for months. Every time the workers would find Valentine, she’d move him. It was heartbreaking.

FYI, the farm is called Edgar’s Mission.

Remind me again how animals don’t have feelings and emotions, and are just unthinking automatons?

Are you vegan? If not, you support these practices.

cows in dairy, and chickens in egg are abused horribly as well. Go vegan.

edit: Egg layers are often in cages, with 3-4 other birds. In a tiny cage. They have no solid ground to stand on, just bars. So their feet are often horribly deformed. When eggs are hatched, if they’re male, they’re killed at less than a few minutes old, because they are “useless” and will never lay eggs. the male chicks will be ground up alive in something called a macerator (think a blender). if they’re born female, they’ll often end up in the same cages as their mothers. They get their beaks chopped off because they will attack each other from all the suffering. Egg layers in the wild will lay 10-12 eggs a year. They’ve been selectively bred so much that they now lay 1-2 a DAY. That’s 300-400 a year! Imagine ovulating every fucking day, often multiple times a day. It’s torture on them. Egg layers can live for 5-10 years naturally, but because laying 300-400 eggs a year is so horrible on their bodies, they collapse and are then slaughtered (sometimes they just dump them in a hole, and cover it up. While they’re alive). Even in “free range”, there are so many chickens in the shed that their pecking order is severely fucked up. Chickens would normally live in a community of a few birds. In these sheds, they’re crammed in by the thousands. The ammonia from all the urea is so strong it burns their eyes and throat etc. It’s truly truly horrible. Activists have to go in to these sheds with breathing masks because the ammonia is so strong. Chickens are bred and fed so fast to have as much meat as possible as quickly as possible that a lot of chickens will break their legs and collapse or have heart attacks (or both). These chickens will then just lay on the ground and starve to death because they are unable to walk to food.

Also, like all mammals, cows need to be pregnant to give milk. They do not just naturally produce milk all year round (well, dairy cows do, because they’re constantly impregnated, so they give milk nearly all their lives). When the mama cow gives birth, her child will either be killed at a few hours old (if male), or be put into slavery like her mother if she’s a girl. They can live for upwards of 20 years when given the chance, but dairy cows will be slaughtered for low quality meat such as sausages and burgers at just 3-4 years old. Imagine being pregnant almost all your life. Shit is terribly hard on their bodies. When cows cannot do it anymore, they just collapse. These cows are called “downers”. They are dragged out by a truck/forklift by their legs. Then slaughtered.

Imagine your life being so worthless that you’re mistreated for all your life, only to then become a fucking burger or nugget. Holy shit.

It’s suffering all the way down.

Yaaaaaaarrrrrr

so, uhh, when does the military turn against dumpy and coup him?

Microsoft will let you full opt out

Yeah, it’s my computer (though I don’t run windows). If i want to do something, who the fuck are microsoft to tell me I am allowed to do something?

There’s even a Justin Bieber Linux! JBL or gtfo

LINE GO UP!

well, linus won. He said when they’d write software for linux, he won. I guess he quadruple won, since microslop has their own distro

and despite how shit that franchise has become, they’ll STILL rake in billions

yeah, you made the claim that windows is more secure. the onus is on you to provide proof.

I remember seeing a video about if the matrix was run on windows. it was hilarious
