And I feel powerless to stop them. Does anyone else feel like this?
Yes, you are not alone
Same. It causes so much agony to think about, but I keep fighting for them even as powerless I feel. We owe it to them to try our best
I agree with the sentiment of course, but also this is why people make fun of vegans.
Why exactly? Don’t they have empathy for animals?
Not the message, the phrasing.
As for the empathy, most people live in active denial to be able to eat industrial meat. There is a reason the meat industry is nicely tucked away from public eyes wherever possible.
My friends, too. And I’m not afraid to call them friends. We call dogs and cats friends but we can’t call other animals friends? I spend hours every week with them at the sanctuary. They’re my friends, period.
