Herbie the Calf Escapes Slaughter

A calf literally runs for his life in the streets of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, causing a police chase. Animal Control seized the frightened animal and handed him over to Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, where he was given a name -- "Herbie," and will be able to experience life. Spare other animals like Herbie from a violent death at the slaughterhouse -- go vegetarian. 95 saved lives per year will be due to your choice of a compassionate diet.

Slaughter is part of the life of a domestic bovine.

[TheUnsilenced]

Murder is "part of the life" of a human person in our society.

Apathy knows no boundaries. All sentient beings, both human and nonhuman, have intrinsic, not monetary value. All deserve at least the basic right to bodily integrity, and to life itself. We do not need to eat meat, dairy, or eggs to survive. It's time we truly act like the "moral" species we claim to be, and reject all forms of senseless violence.

[bla7091]

You're saying that in a time when even humans amongst each other can't live up to the moral values we're supposed to have. Countries exist where basic human rights such as clean water and medical care aren't yet established.

It's no wonder animal welfare gets less priority

[TheUnsilenced]

The thing is, it mustn't be an either/or stance when it comes to animal rights and human rights. They can coexist, and in fact, the two are interconnected. Exploitation is exploitation; violence is violence, and as long as we treat nonhuman beings like things, oppression will continue to be pervasive in human societies. I am not taking away from human rights by choosing to eat a plant-based diet, wear non-leather shoes, and buy non-animal-tested products. Veganism is about nonviolence for all.

kill herbie

[TheUnsilenced]

How about...no.

[bibi14930]

if people wanna eat meat, they will continue to make up excuses and reasons why they need to. until and unless another species stronger and smarter comes down and do what we have been doing to animals - mass cull us for meat coz THEY need to eat meat and blah blah, then we'll know how it feels. and the funny thing is, if you killed a human baby and made her into a thick meat patti and grill her and serve it to some stubborn meat eater without telling him wot it is, he'll say it tastes good.

[EccentricWolven23]

Lol everyone here is either trolls or idiots.

[MrLemmy2000]

Ya what did the reporter eat today?

[honeyputdowndaknife]

using teeth as an argument as proof we r vegetarians is bullshit anybody with a little knowledge will tell u teeth started getting smaller when hominids discovered fire making digestion easier of meat and plant matter. even our closest living relatives chimps eat some meat, we should eat a lot less though and be a whole lot more respectful of animals

@chefmarcgirard *Opinion alert!*

[chefmarcgirard]

@nicelikearsenic It's possible to survive and be unhealthy, talk to any female who models for a living. They look good but they're starving themselves. As far as health goes you're right, not eating meat in this country will likely yield a healthier body, but this is not because flesh is intrinsicly bad for you or a "toxin" to the body. Its because the typical animal eaten in this country has been raised on gBGH Growth hormone and is fucking terrible for you.
