literally a chicken thief.
that expression exists in english too, right? just in case: “ladrão de galinha” is coloquially meant as a petty thief who steals food or small cheap stuff and gets harsh penalties, usually in the context of the robber barons getting away scott free. i found it a bit… ironic? for it to happen literally
It’s all unfair until you realize that most epidemics start with sick farm animals that come in contact with humans.
arent you eating them in the first place?
I am so completely sympathetic to her cause, but handling & transporting sick chickens is so fucking dangerous. I don’t give a damn about the theft, but she risked her own life, the lives of others, and any other animals they came into contact with.
I also want to see the abolition of slaughterhouses and factory farms, but I think the best way to do that right now is to fight for subsidies for vat grown meat alternatives. And fight states like Florida trying to outlaw vat grown meat.
Subsidies for meat alternatives are a very liberal non-solution. The tech is not there for meat outside of ground beef and the state shouldn’t be subsidizing to create a different problem, the issue with the USA’s ridiculous meat overproduction and consumption isn’t that there’s a slaughter in the process, it’s that the amount of manpower/water/energy required is ridiculous. The subsidies should be substantially reduced for meat and dairy, and price controls (or outright government handouts) should be in place for staple foodstuffs.
If grains and legumes become cheaper, people will find a way to make them tastier and eat them way more often.
If you can only consider solutions that require everyone to give up eating meat, you will never get enough people on board.
They said nothing about everyone giving up on meat.
We don’t have infinite resources on our finite planet. People need to eat less meat. They stated some ways to encourage that transition.
And not buying stuff that comes from slaughterhouses and factory farms.
Look at that brave manly man arresting such a danger to the god-fearing, Jesus-loving, for-profit US society.
