    Not every animal, no, but the vast majority either overwhelmigly appear to or definitively do, including all of the ones we eat and regularly experiment on, and nearly all of the ones most people come into regular contact with.

        Yes, we. You’re part of society, and as such, you benefit immensely from animal slaughter and experimentation, even if you’re a strict vegan.

            I’m assuming you eat plants that are grown outdoors. Aside from all the animals that are dead from clearing the land they were grown on, modern agriculture involves killing insects on a massive, unsustainable scale. Even those bullshit “organic” farms do it.

              i “benefit from animal slaughter” because of pesticides?

              i am a gardener too 😱

              even if i avoid killing insects, occasional manipulation of the earth might end up killing some yes

              you should have used another word. the word slaughter is used for killing to eat

              why are organic farms bullshit?
