      So because there are institutional scale cruelties like this, then it doesn’t matter that a person in a position high in the American government is bragging about her personal cruelty to animals? I am simply pointing out her failings in this regard and you are telling me what? It doesn’t matter what she did because there’s already a lot of cruelty out there?

          That’s kind of the point of the article I linked to. Yeah, everyone is upset about Cricket, but the goat matters too.

              You used an individual animal’s tragic death to stand on a soapbox and denounce the animal agriculture industry. It’s a bit like being told a child died and saying, “Are you aware of what happens to children in Gaza??”

              You don’t need to make everything about your personal (plant-based imitation) beef with humans eating meat.

            I think insults can be justified if the other person is brain dead and you are still attacking the argument.
