Good. Animal abuse in any form can’t be part of a decent society.

Kabecz have been charged with several offences, including killing or injuring animals; causing unnecessary suffering to an animal; failing to provide adequate medical attention for an animal when it is wounded or ill; inflicting upon an animal acute suffering, serious injury or harm, or extreme anxiety or distress that significantly impairs its health or well-being.

Just inflict the same things on “farm animals” and it’s not only socially acceptable, but the average person will gladly buy the products, and therefore fund the abuse on factory farms.

We certainly have a looong way to go to become a decent society based on that metric.

100% agreed. You’re always welcome over at !vegan@lemmy.world if you’re not already there. I imagine some of the 18:1 upvoters so far statistically haven’t realized – owing to deeply rooted doublethink – that I’m also talking about something they directly pay for on a subdaily basis.

Cruel cultural traditions make (good) people support horrible acts. A tale as old as time.

Fortunately plant-based alternatives have been growing and improving quite fast for 10-20 years now, so I’m hopeful that even those who “could never give up meat” might stop supporting those hell holes. I was one of them, after all.

And because it’s Canada, they’ll get six months in jail and be back at it.

Some criminal acts you can at least try to understand, but killing and torturing innocent animals is just sick in the head. Glad they were caught and if there are more involved, I hope they’re caught too.

you might be surprised at what is perfectly legal and socially accepted in countries like South Korea. they say that the adrenaline from torture makes the meat taste better. it is really some psychopath shit

in Southeast Asia they are often trapped strays and stolen pets.

most of the world does not care about the well-being of dogs or cats or any other animal.

And now you can take this reasoning and think about all the millions of innocent animals killed every day for meat, often in ways that could easily be considered torture if people didn’t pretend it wasn’t happening / justified for their taste buds.
