    I know that the industry is horrific. I have battled internally with becoming a vegan. And this isn’t a but, it’s just something i thought about once when thinking about the argument that whilst in nature, animals eat other animals, its not the same as what we do as we farma dn torture animals to get the meat…

    Its cats…

    Cats torture their prey…

    They play with it, and maim it and keep it alive for as long as possible so they can chase it, for fun…

    And sometimes they just fucking leave it there when it dies.

    And we love cats. Even vegans love cats.

    And that sort of makes me laugh a bit.

      Most of the time, adults don’t torture their prey. Kittens aren’t born with the ability to hunt, and their instincts need to develop too. So the mom brings home live prey for the kittens to play with. Sometimes adults keep this behaviour.
