    I think it’s good to make people connect their disdain for animal abuse to something they can actually do something about

          Racism is a subset of speciesism (which is when you think it is okay to kill some species but not others) so I think the comparison is reasonable.

          Direct quote of you equating different races to different species.

            Racism: “You can put those people in a camp because they have a different skin color”
            Speciesism: “You can put those beings in a camp because they have feathers”

            The step you need, to go from “racism is wrong” to “speciesism is wrong” is to extend your circle of compassion to all sentient animals and not just humans.

        It is amazing to watch someone’s mind melt like this just because the truth of their food source is pointed out to them. This is a full-blown insane comment.

            Anybody who gets so triggered and defensive when someone points out how disgusting factory farms are doesn’t have a diet that they are proud of. Whether your cognitive dissonance allows you to acknowledge that or not is a different story.
