    Its also an insult to actual rape victims to equate artificial insemination of a cow with rape. Just using their real suffering as propaganda to push an agenda

      Have you ever been forcefully impregnated before?

      Have you even had your recent new born separated from you and made orphan?

      Just because the sexual act isn’t between the same species, and because the subordinate doesn’t resist, doesn’t make it any more wrong.

      And how do you know that cows DON’T resist being artificially inseminated? How do you know you can generalize?

        First two questions: False equivalency, I am not livestock.

        Last question: It’s interesting that you have such extreme views without seeming to know anything about it. You should probably inform yourself and learn something about dairy, before choosing an extreme and naive conviction. I know the cows do not resist because they are artificially inseminated while in estrus.

          Your application of false equivalency here just cements my idea of you. You’re egocentric and anthropocentrist, and only care about the human species for moral consideration. You’re no different to me than the fascists in power the world over that seek to dominate minority groups.

          Cows have a variety of responses to being artificially inseminated. Because of this, farmers have adopted different tactics to force them to submit, whether that’s using drugs, stun guns, cages that don’t allow the cows to flee. Whether cows resist, which is possible, or they submit doesn’t matter. They are still raped at the end of the day.

          If YOU know so much about the dairy industry, then you either know the answers to this debate and choose to ignore them because it makes you look bad, or you ignore the reality altogether and tell yourself bedtime stories to cope with your already existing immoral habits.

            Yep, gotta make everything black and white in order to process the world. Very healthy “if you eat dairy you’re a fascist” 😂 It’s at that ridiculous statement that someone capable of self reflection would realize they are wrong. Your childish naivety is showing.

              If you can’t see how domesticating animals is a form of fascism, just applied to non-humans, then I can’t save you. You’re reinforcing your pre-existing beliefs by insulating yourself with lies. Do me and all rape victims a favor: learn about the evil and corrupt animal ag industry, and its effects on both humans and animals. You’ll come back with a stronger sense of morality than whatever flimsy shit you call yours now

                …do you hear yourself? Take a moment to self reflect on the words you are typing. Also probably worth looking up a definition of “fascism” because it definitely does not mean not what you think it means

                  If you can’t see how fascism applies to animal abuse today, then I really am speaking with idiots

      It’s hard to express how weird a statement this is…

      You’re stating cows experience no “real” suffering, which is verifiably false.

          I had you tagged as “confidently incorrect” for some reason from a long time ago, so thanks for confirming that’s still valid.

            Well that’s ironic, given that you just tried to say I stated “cows experience no real suffering”, which is obviously ridiculous… probably another thing you should stop doing if you want people to support your side or take you seriously.

              Well I’m glad we cleared that position up. Now if you could just explain how we grade levels of suffering and in particular which one is more real than the others. Maybe even grade every type of suffering, so we can all see which one is offensive to compare to the other type of suffering. Maybe we should lay out a description for “propaganda” too.

                You’re the one who attempted and failed to created doubt around it. It was never in question.
