reading these comics it seems animal cruelty was more common back then. it is nice to see that we have grown as a society
Go with a camera to a local meat farm then and show us how we have grown.
Oh wait, you can’t since that’s illegal.
I'm not trying to be a jackass I'm just trying to understand, when you ask for pictures of a local farm do you mean like pastures? I can totally take some pictures of cow pastures, I pass like 6 on the way to work. I don't care if it's illegal, stupid law anyway, but I can totally show you pictures of the exact types of farms I'm talking about.
The reason I made my original comment was to highlight that not all farms are this. To claim otherwise is a falsehood. I think the cause is very noble and I have seen/fully understand there are horrific conditions that go on in some farms. If you however describe a narrative that isn't true and act like it is, you will only turn people away not draw them in. Food for thought
They're talking about ag-gag laws. When people take pictures of the poor conditions on farms and it causes public outrage, the farm tends to lose business so some states have passed laws to protect the farmers.
