She did a fundraiser for Palestine and they told her that she didn’t give a shit about Palestinian children.

Now people who have no idea what BlockOut is are just seeing Miss Rachel crying and saying shit like, “who made my coparent cry?” and “we ride at dawn” and those videos are getting more views than her fundraiser did.

Keep applying that Marxist brain and one also eventually comes to understand that the existence of domesticated beings as we know them today (mutants bred for the explicit purpose of labor, companionship, etc., exclusively for human exploitation) is at odds with veganism.

While it would be bad if they were doing the cartoonishly evil thing implied by such complaints (ooh, they’re kidnapping and killing ol’ Scraps!), it is perfectly ideologically consistent to avoid reproducing the exploitation of these beings, shorten their suffering when no other option is available, and otherwise work toward the abolition of domestication as currently practiced.

I live with two dogs, both aging and with rapidly diminishing quality of life. Soon, I will have to decide how dignified their deaths will be, because humans have colonized even death. If you (not you, specifically, but generic readers) believe that PETA relishes the reality forced on them by puppy mills, irresponsible reproduction practices, and the normalization of exploitation, I don’t think you’ve thought about this enough.

Yes, this is why spay and neuter and trap, neuter, release programs are so important. We need to also be actively reducing the population of pets while caring for the ones that currently exist as best we can. And sometimes the “best” option is to euthanize, but it is definitely not a decision taken lightly.
