no one is raping, enslaving, or torturing animals
The entire dairy and meat industry is based on the rape and slaughter of animals. Mistreament of animals within the industry is arguably tantamount to torture and would be considered as such where it applied to humans.
no one is raping animals and slaughter isn't enslavement nor is it torture
how do you think dairy cows are always pregnant if they're not being forcibly impregnated 🤔🤔
artificial insemination is a veterinary procedure. it's not rape
and getting a giant steel horn implanted in your forehead would be a cosmetic procedure, but i guess you'd be pretty upset if someone did it to you without asking?
artificial insemination would fit the legal definition of rape in several jurisdictions in the world if you did it to a human.
and if done to cattle, it's a veterinary procedure
so you think all humans have rights to do any kinds of violent, invasive acts to any animal, as long as they call it a "veterinary procedure"? is there anything a human could do to an animal which you would classify as "rape"?
i think rights are a fiction. i don't believe they exist at all.
i doubt it.
yeah this is turning out to be as wild as I expected
it can be icky without being immoral.
The rape part they are referring to is forced insemination.
that's not rape
according to PETA it is
they're wrong
I agree, but the question isn't 'is artificial insemination rape', but rather 'Does PETA consider artificial insemination rape'.
Except for Dave. Someone should say something to him.
