News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Yes, the problem started when humans decided to domesticate animals during the agricultural revolution. Since then all farm animals exist because we bring them into existence for our convenience.

All sentient beings should have at least one right: the right not to be treated as property.

If we took animals seriously, we would stop treating them as our resources, as our property. But that would mean an end to bringing nonhumans into existence so that we can use them for food, clothing, vivisection, or any other purpose.

It's been scientifically proven that we don't need animal products to be healthy, so humans are basically exploiting animals for no better reason than palate pleasure. And to top it off animal agriculture is having a horrific impact on the environment.

We can live without participating in the exploitation of the vulnerable.

We can live without destroying the environment.

We can live in a way that guarantees a more healthy life.

Thanks for a great comment. Some good plant-based spreads:

Miyokos plant-based cheese is unbelievable, but still only available in the US.

<3 The Name of the Rose, but I expected this generator to include the most terrifying of all sounds from the film, the bells heard at the beginning of this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wmwzK0Orjo

I pity his sweet little dog. Bless her.
Bosch actually belongs to the early renaissance period - he's not medieval.
