As someone who unfortunately has had contact with such people, I can assure you that the most extreme of them read their Bibles (KJV ONLY!) every day. For these fundamentalists the Bible is literally their laws, and so extensive knowledge of scriptures becomes a core part of how they exert power over each other and maintain their social hierarchies.

Love seeing more vegan memes and content.

No, they should not. What the fuck is wrong with you?

I was going to post the original wapo article, but then I saw wapo wouldn't even let me read the whole thing. I don't knowingly link to articles that are paywalled.

Most farm animals have been selectively bred for traits that fit human needs, at the expense of the animal's own quality of life. For example, chickens being bred to produce so many eggs that they become calcium deficient and their bones break under the weight of their own bodies. Sanctuaries provide safe spaces for these animals to live out the rest of their lives in the most comfort possible, while going vegan is important for a future where we're no longer breeding these poor beings into an inherently hellish existence.

It's really not though, inability to do something perfectly does not invalidate the efforts people make.

I've read that vegans average fewer nutrient deficiencies than omnivores. People should be worrying more about getting enough whole-food fiber than they are about protein.

This. There's more than an ample credible threat to justify an executive order to have them all shut down as a matter of national security.

They're only getting 5 years in prison. The article also says Macartney had been in prison previously. Since the US prison systems are designed for sadism and punishment, it probably did more to make the guy amenable to this kind of horror. It's also known that slaughterhouses frequently get their workers from the prison system, so it's very possible that this guy will simply have his unapproved abuses exchanged with ones that our society sanctions.

When he comes out, his mind is most likely to be more disturbed than when he went in.

Because it's rational to hate when people kill other living beings just to wear their skin. That's fucking bizarre and grotesque.

And to add to all this, the company that maintains Brave is run by a well known anti-lgbtq bigot.

There is life before the bidet, and then life after the bidet.
