    So, do you imply that as long as testing on animals is not cruel, it is ok?

            “So you don’t want any work being done?”

            “Yeah that seems to be their opinion. Abolitionists don’t need anyone else to make them look ridiculous. They do a fine job on their own”

                One of the reasons why mice are used in medical research is they have short lifespan so we can observe them for all stages of their life, and for several generations.

                Good fucking luck doing that with humans.

                Plus, these morons have no idea just how many animals are used in medical research. Are these dimwits suggesting we should have millions of people being test subjects?

                Choosing this ridiculous hill to die on is going to make them look like nutters even when they’re talking about reasonable things like meat industry.

                Progressives and not being able to pick which battle to fight. Name a more iconic duo.

                Sorry, but how can you say that without realizing that you’re doing a strawman? At least try to understand the other person’s perspective. Comparing two situations is not the same thing as equating them. It’s why things like metaphors work.

                If they said “wow, this rain is pouring so hard it is as if cats and dogs were falling out of the sky.” Would you say, “lmao, cats and dogs falling out of the sky is a completely different situation. How can you even compare them? It would leave bodies all over the street and they’d rot. Rain just makes things wet. Are you high?” ?

                And that’s not me attacking you. It’s an attempt at a helpful allegory.

                No, I am comparing non-vegans with people that see nothing wrong with exploiting and killing sentient beings. Which is apt.
