Between what the law says and what actually happens, there is a yawning gulf. It’s the same in basically all jurisdictions where there are animal-welfare laws. The meat industry is powerful and consumers are unrelenting in their clamor for cheap meat. With such incentives, the weakest link is always going to be animals, which by definition have no voice.
You used an individual animal’s tragic death to stand on a soapbox and denounce the animal agriculture industry. It’s a bit like being told a child died and saying, “Are you aware of what happens to children in Gaza??”
You don’t need to make everything about your personal (plant-based imitation) beef with humans eating meat.

How they’re “put down” (that’s a very kind euphemism) is only part of the problem. It’s how they’re forced to live
That’s their entire life.

This is the internet. Deflection from the point being made, in an effort to one-up or simply argue with a post.
More specifically this is Lemmy. If we don’t have morons arguing with the dumbest logic possible, something is wrong.
It’s still better overall than Reddit. The bad arguments are no better, but there are far fewer people to jump in.
That’s a fair assessment.
So theyre forced to live just like the people Noem is kidnapping via ICE?

Personally I share your take, but you’re not helping the cause by insulting people.
I think insults can be justified if the other person is brain dead and you are still attacking the argument.
You support the Trump administration?
Because when this shit comes up and you do your best to shift the focus, that’s one of two conclusions I can come to.
