Yeah exactly you get it, originally it was a way for food, but not only do we not need to do it now, but people do it as a sport. What makes it a sport compared to all the other ones out there? It is a filler word for a cruel action.

38 billion dollars of taxpayer money goes to subsidizing meat and dairy. Otherwise a burger would be $13+

Almost all animals are sentient. It's sapience they lack. The ability to ask why.

I wonder how many the average meat eating human consumes in their lifetime

I’m on plant based wave now
