All it took was a Taiwanese billionaire tech mogul sticking his dick where he shouldn’t. At this point, im willing to crowdfund his prostitutes.

    You do understand that my point was that it was either ignorance or cognitive dissonance and you made this comment to explain exactly that to me?

      My point is that it’s neither. They know and they aren’t pretending the animals are okay, it’s just that most people don’t give importance to the plight of a chicken.

      It’s a problem for you and not for them because your morals are completely different, not because you “know the truth”.

        As a meat eater I do care, although it’s partly because meat tastes better from happy animals. I do think factory farming is immoral due to the treatment of the animals, though, it’s just a 2 birds one stone thing.

        It’s absolutely a “know the truth” situation though. People wouldn’t do to their pets what they pay people to do to other sentient beings that can do exactly what their pets can. Let me revise my first statement then : it’s either ignorance, cognitive dissonance or cruelty. And I can’t stand either of them.

          It’s just the last one. Everyone knows factory farms are horror shows but bacon without the horror either doesn’t taste as good or costs too much.
