I could turn this post into a twenty-paragraph rant about animal rights, but I'll keep it short because frankly, I'm exhausted from arguing with people.
Animals are not commodities, and they should not be treated as such. Period. We would be such a more well-fed, healthier, happier world if factory farming (as well as animal testing, over-fishing, whaling, fur farms, leather farms, etc.) didn't exist. We once lived in a way that did not mistreat animals in these ways, and it's possible to live this way again.
This movie is incredibly informative and inspiring: http://www.earthlings.com/ And Temple Grandin is my new favorite role model. Also, I might be going vegan. I'm tired of trying to be middle-of-the-road or unbiased about animal rights. And I'm even more tired of being sympathetic toward those who prefer convenience or the sole well-being of humans over animals. I don't care if I sound like a self-righteous animal lover. This is something I'm whole-heartedly invested in.
