Am I missing something or did I actually just stumble across a conversation where people are seriously comparing being put in a steel box on the way to being murdered in a slaughterhouse to suffering the indignity of riding in a crowded transit car on the way to work, because holy fuck.

You seem to be missing that the conversation is about the suffering of the transport, not the destination.

The steel box for humans is allowed to be hotter and more crowded than the steel box for cows.

Slaughter doesn't have to be involved. The same rules apply if you're transporting a cow from one field to another field.

At least the cows only travel like that once. With more and more London companies pushing to "return to office", the "choice" is taken away from humans - if they want to be able to pay their bills that is.
