Concepts like rape don’t exist in the animal kingdom

Did you forget humans are animals? If you don’t like using the word rape to describe sexually violating an animal, there’s another one we’ve come up with… bestiality.

Same for the thing about taking children away

Are you seriously trying to say humans are the only species who should have a right not to be sexually violated or have their children taken from them and killed? Since we know that cows are thinking, feeling, emotional creatures capable of forming strong family bonds… what exactly is it about humans that makes them special in that way?

Sorry, I don’t find any of the actions I described above to be sane. And if you think I’m being sensational, you haven’t watched Dominion yet, and you should. I was actually just describing the “normal” aspects of the dairy industry; the reality of the conditions these living, thinking, feeling beings live in are even worse.

Same here, and I’d rather be down-voted into oblivion than pretend my past actions weren’t “questionable”. I’d love to say I’m a proud vegan, but truthfully, I’m not proud of being vegan; I’m ashamed and regretful of how long it took me to become one.
