so , slaughter equivalent to mistreatment in your view. i find that to be socially problematic; drawing a line in the sand which unfairly (reactionarily?) places the overwhelming majority of people in-with the psychopathic god, Industry.

Since the overwhelming majority of people live in modern industrial societies I don't think that's unfair. And I don't see how slaughter isn't a form of mistreatment, if a group of humans would be systemically slaughtered it wouldn't even be questioned if it's mistreatment or not.

um , i want for to destroy the industrial society and its subsequent codes and methods. seems like an anthropocentric fallacy like The Golden Rule (maybe) to treat others how we want to be treated. rather, as many animals identify as prey, they thrive under attack, adapting/evolving stronger for the challenge. Prince Kropotkin said something about it. also, a wild hog will systematically kill you and eat you, so will a hungry lion, wolf or crocodile, i wouldn't consider that "mistreatment" or psychopathy . i actually favor the vegan option, as a personal option for healing and guiding , for cultivating serene communion / spiritual harmony but, i also value the evolved capacity for travelling out-of tropical regions and seasonal migrations. grasshoppers and some ants are also delicious. and sometimes crops fail for various causes so it's important to maintain preparation for contigency.

the schools are feeding kids extremely unfortunately , animal products from factories , atrocious horrific disgusting shameful. let's pressure them , offer/demonstrate more wholesome alternatives and Earth / Biology based spirituality.. what if schools could be encouraged to transition from gross factory consumption to local, autonomous production. why not have animals grazing the play fields instead of lawnmowers and kids learning to homestead, steward and scavenge instead of FFA and Google ?
