    So because there are institutional scale cruelties like this, then it doesn’t matter that a person in a position high in the American government is bragging about her personal cruelty to animals? I am simply pointing out her failings in this regard and you are telling me what? It doesn’t matter what she did because there’s already a lot of cruelty out there?

      I didn’t say it doesn’t matter. I was merely pointing out that cunts will be like “THAT POOR DOG” then go home and eat a cow steak who was also tortured.

        That’s kind of the point of the article I linked to. Yeah, everyone is upset about Cricket, but the goat matters too.

          the goat definitely matters. S/he lived a life that was important to them. I wasn’t trying to minimise the goat’s life.

            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.

          I think insults can be justified if the other person is brain dead and you are still attacking the argument.
