ap3··on There Are Whales Alive Today Who Were Born Before Moby Dick Was Written (2013)
I don’t think animals care about dying out. The auroch does not care about cows and pigs.

Focus instead on how they live. When we put pigs cages and separate them from their families are we doing it to preserve the species? What is the point of a life of suffering?

ap3··on The Untold Story of Otto Warmbier, American Hostage
There is also the history of previous American hostages that said they were not tortured.
