They’re usually shredded alive almost immediately because they’re seen as “waste” since they don’t lay eggs
For some more context:
You sound like queer people in the 80s and 90s.
Now, acceptance is the default position for most folk.
as a queer person in the now I do not think this is comparable, at all.
Well, as a queer vegan. Its really hard not to notice that bigots and carnists say the same sort of things.
“You’re just trying to feel special.” “It’s unnatural, your gentials/teeth were evolved for a specific use”. “Stop trying to convert kidsto your cult.” “Queer/vegan people always think they are so enlighted.”
But more to the point, defeatism is always an easy excuse to do nothing. But individual actions can have ripple effects through generations. Do you think that those at stonewall would expect an entire month celebrating their actions? Enough people making a choice not to support animal agriculture puts the concept out of business. Do I expect that or liberation soon? No. But it’s gotten LIGHTYEARS better on both fronts in my own lifetime.
