> Does someone need to literally drag you to each and every factory farm?
This is a threat of physical violence and it is very disturbing, especially as
it comes after your offering to buy me a book and asking me to contact you by
email. You've crossed from creepy stalker to online bully behaviour.
The most disturbing thing is that you seem to not even understand what we are
disagreeing about.
What I keep saying is that factory farming is typical only in the Americas. Yes,
there are factory farms outside the Americas. No, they are not the norm outside
America. Outside America, most farms are small-scale farms with a few dozen
animals.
The typical farm in most of the world is a small-scale farm, run by a
family, often not even commercially.
Despite your threats to drag me to factofy farms and your insistence that I
don't know they exist (clearly, I do, I have repeated several times that
"factory farms are an atrocity that must be eliminated"), it is you who hasn't
seen the world with your own eyes. It is you who relies, for your knowledge of
farming, on books and youtube videos. Books and youtube videos that are
specifically created to spread vegan propaganda: they show you the horrors of
factory farming, that should rightly outrage everyone, and pretend that there is
no other way to farm animals, and that all farming is an atrocity, that all
farmers are Freddy Krueger, monsters who torture animals and kill them in
"horrific ways".
Instead of trying to coerce me into agreeing with your misinformed beliefs,
you're the one who should go and look at the things that the brainwashing
rhetoric you try to spread hasn't shown you. Go to the rural communities that
subsist on farming, in Europe, in Africa, in India and Bangladesh, in South-East
Asia. Go and see the farms, see the animals, talk to the farmers. If you really
care about animal welfare, go help the farmers to care for the animals.
But do you really care about animals? Do you really want to know what's going on
in the world, or are you more interested in fighting a pointless culture war on
the internet?
