A local zoo has a “taxidermy department” and noteworthy animals are preserved or skinned and the skins sold to friends of the zoo.
Its kept very secret because it would be publicly unpopular. A friends dad has a mountain lion skin because he is a contractor who does a lot of work for the zoo and did a few jobs for them that NEEDED to be done basically for cost when they were suffering some financial troubles. They gave him the pelt as a Xmas present.
I will stay angry as long as people are putting animals in gas chambers. The voiceless rely on people to stand up, they cannot end their own oppression.
you don’t have to be vegan to help stop animal cruelty. there are many, many humane and legit ways to help animals without veganism. not drinking milk or eating eggs doesn’t matter.
The vast majority of that is through factory farming. It’s a cheap cop out from personal responsibility saying you only “buy local animal products.” You probably eat at restaurants or at friends’ houses without checking the source of those.
It’s extremely rare outside of I think Germany but they have commercial in-ovo sexing for laying chickens now. Living conditions for laying chickens are still fucked though.
artificial insemination is a veterinary procedure. I don’t care to watch videos of live births or spaying and neutering, but that doesn’t make them bad.

It is so hypocritical that it’s unpopular with zoo-goers that come to look at animals in cages, while wearing leather and eating other animals.
If you’re against exploitation of animals, please align your actions with your morals and live vegan.
“If you can’t be perfect you have no justification for being good”
Didn’t say anyone should be perfect, just apply your morals consistently
“If you don’t apply your morals consistently, don’t bother applying them at all”…?
Human beings are not rational actors. It’s a recipe for burnout and depression to walk around expecting them to be.
For anybody feeling the way parent commenter feels, do yourself a favor and let it go. We’re human beings. What we are is what we are.

You don’t need to be angry to speak and act.
I mean, maybe you feel like you do, but to anyone else reading this—that’s a trap.
Anger is poison.
Find a way to be happy and live well and stand for what matters to you.

“You don’t have to stop the faucet before starting to mop”
Stopping the cruelty from the root of it is the best way to do it.
Go vegan!
eating eggs and milk is not animal cruelty
Calves being ripped from their mothers and male chicks macerated is not animal cruelty?
it’s called animal husbandry
Something doesn’t stop causing suffering because you call it a different name.
it’s not cruelty. the suffering isn’t the intention, it’s just incidental.
you act like thats literally the only way we can have milk and eggs. be real man.
The vast majority of that is through factory farming. It’s a cheap cop out from personal responsibility saying you only “buy local animal products.” You probably eat at restaurants or at friends’ houses without checking the source of those.
The only way you can have cows milk is by impregnating cows. Google how this is done, there is tutorial videos on YouTube. It is horrible.
The only way people have egg laying hens is by killing the male chicks. This happens even with backyard chickens.
Be real man.

Damn, I’m vegan and I didn’t even know that 😭

I’m gonna start doubling my portions
