"we"
Yes, we. You're part of society, and as such, you benefit immensely from animal slaughter and experimentation, even if you're a strict vegan.
experimentation, ok, easy to see
but how do i benefit from animal slaughter?
I'm assuming you eat plants that are grown outdoors. Aside from all the animals that are dead from clearing the land they were grown on, modern agriculture involves killing insects on a massive, unsustainable scale. Even those bullshit "organic" farms do it.
i "benefit from animal slaughter" because of pesticides?
i am a gardener too 😱
even if i avoid killing insects, occasional manipulation of the earth might end up killing some yes
you should have used another word. the word slaughter is used for killing to eat
why are organic farms bullshit?
