I am so completely sympathetic to her cause, but handling & transporting sick chickens is so fucking dangerous. I don’t give a damn about the theft, but she risked her own life, the lives of others, and any other animals they came into contact with.
I also want to see the abolition of slaughterhouses and factory farms, but I think the best way to do that right now is to fight for subsidies for vat grown meat alternatives. And fight states like Florida trying to outlaw vat grown meat.
Subsidies for meat alternatives are a very liberal non-solution. The tech is not there for meat outside of ground beef and the state shouldn’t be subsidizing to create a different problem, the answer to the USA’s ridiculous meat overproduction and consumption isn’t that there’s a slaughter in the process, it’s that the amount of manpower/water/energy required is ridiculous. The subsidies should be substantially reduced for meat and dairy, and price controls (or outright government handouts) should be in place for staple foodstuffs.
If grains and legumes become cheaper, people will find a way to make them tastier and eat them way more often.
And not buying stuff that comes from slaughterhouses and factory farms.
Look at that brave manly man arresting such a danger to the god-fearing, Jesus-loving, for-profit US society.
