    Sentient beings are dying in sweatshops to make your clothes and smartphones, why are you so tied up about a pig.

    Extreme comparisons aside, consumers support business practices with their purchases, and one of the largest factors for a consumer is price. I would like to see an animal health/welfare rating that is mandatory and highly visible on all products that are made from animals. Consumers can make better decisions but only if they have better info.

      Not extreme. We don’t get to see the torture of the people in sweatshops. That’s why sweatshops failed in the US, too easy to see. But animals, you gotta see the meat before buying. That’s why one should be repulsed by this. I come from a place where you could go buy a pig from the neighbors and hear the pig screaming as they murdered him so you could eat it’s legs and ears. But I eventually learned all the torture they go through now and I don’t eat meat anymore. It’s to the point that just smelling meat I think of the death rather than how delicious it might be to others. It’s death. It makes me want to 🤮 puke.
