“It is a profound betrayal of the desperate and the defenseless when individuals who otherwise support what they choose to call ‘animal rights’ go on to themselves reinforce the notion that animals can still be used as commodities — as long as that use is somehow performed “humanely” … Indeed, advocates of ‘kind care’ and ‘humane slaughter’ will always find supporters amongst those seeking to rationalize and/or justify their own choices to inflict harm on the vulnerable and the powerless, and yet the truth remains that ‘animal rights’ will always mean veganism, and that veganism is the only way to sincerely recognize and earnestly uphold the right of nonhuman individuals to not be enslaved, violated, abused, and murdered.”
