Why I Hate “Cruelty Free” Labels That Don’t Address The Treatment Of Workers

I’ve seen SO many people say “I need to pick my battles and I choose animal rights as my issue because animals don’t have a voice” but here’s the thing, you can’t say you support animal testing without sounding like a douchebag, public opinion is overwhelmingly negative, labor rights violations on the other hand… 

Child labor:

Animal testing:

Labor Unions:

PETA:

Cruelty to animals:

Sweat shops:

We live in a culture that sentimentalizes animals and hates the working class.

This isn’t a reason to not care about animals, it’s a reason to care about BOTH issues.

No one said not to care about animals, I’m saying that right now animals are getting more empathy than workers and that’s kinda fucked.
