audrey-twoy:

it annoys me that people find it offensive when animal rights activists compare the systematic cruelty to animals to anything that was systematically cruel to humans like slavery or the holocaust

like, you realize we feel that way because we value the lives of animals and don’t view them as lower beings worthy of torture for existing, right?

you realize the reason you find it offensive is because that’s the way you view animals, thus implying their suffering is as valid as a humans angers you because they’re so inferior and not worthy of your sympathy?

That’s, hmm, the same way slave masters felt about slaves and nazi’s felt about jews.

Your prejudice is the source of your offense, not us.
