Only cowards treat animals like this 🤬Animal FHarming is an abusive and cruel industry👺They don’t give a shit about animals Of course they keep them just healthy enough to get them into the slaughterhouse 🤬End the misery #EndAnimalAg #GoPlantbased 🌱 #LiveVegan because you care ✌️

I am inside a deep thread initiated because people objected to vegans raising ethical issues of animal flesh consumption. I just wanted to say thanks to all participants, regardless whether you agree with me or not. What matters is learning of the vegan position, which so many people misconstrue.
