Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    “save” is a bit of misnomer. The animals are forcibly bred into a life of pure suffering. That is what they are being saved from. The less demand for animal torture, the less the industry needs to breed.

      Living near a rural area in Australia, my unpopular opinion is the cows bread for meat in the whole area are living beautiful lives. Roaming in lovely paddocks, with good food, care and medical taken care of. They’re happy, healthy and live an enviable life. Not sure what it’s like where you’re from, but generally here farmers really look after the animals.

        I’m gonna go out on a limb here, considering you’re on lemmy.ml, and assume you understand how capitalism works. You also know how the exploitation of the planet, the minoritized, and the worker class works.

        Why in the world would things somehow magically be different when it comes to animals? They are resources with very little rights. Any and all suffering that increases profit is MANDATORY under capitalism. It’s a huge billion dollar industry, why in the world would they suddenly be any nicer than every other industry?

        More importantly, they exploit actual humans, with acutal rights, that can actually talk, every single day. It’s insanity to believe they wouldn’t treat animals, who can’t speak and have less rights, well.

        To your example: My grandparents are land lords. They’re really nice. By your logic, every landlord is therefore nice and I shouldn’t ever question their existence.
