        in torture, the pain is the point. while i think factory farming is too ambivalent about suffering, i also believe the suffering is only incidental, not intentional. it’s not torture.

          perhaps you could explain that subtle difference to the animals going through the system of abuse.

          Im sure it would brighten up their days no end to realise the pain they are experiencing is not the point of the system and that therefore, they are not being tortured.

            i don’t think i can, no. but propagandists can choose to stop using emotionally charged and incorrect terms.

        have you ever paid anyone at a factory farm? i haven’t, and i don’t think most people have.
