The overbreeding of pets is something that legit bothers me. People who aren’t okay with eating animals are okay with breeding them to be so “cute” their eyes can fall out of their damned head or they can’t breathe or their digestion is compromised so they’re at vastly increased risk of bowel cancer, all to make them fit your idea of cute. Dogs shouldn’t be bred so they can’t run and jump and play to suit your aesthetic. Cats shouldn’t be bred to have no tails so they can’t jump properly. Doing that shit on purpose is messed up.
Mm I can’t say I know anyone who’s vego or vegan but supports breeding.. I’d say it’s more commonly the other way around. But yes it’s completely fucked
I know a few who do, and have like bought from breeders. People who only use cruelty free grooming products and bought unhealthy animals from breeders. Like I don’t have a problem for breeding working animals for function, guarding, herding and hunting and tracking are all valuable functions and don’t harm the animal
Yeah I admit there’s a few people who are publicly “cruelty free” but it’s all image and they buy pure bred pets for aesthetics. but um. Now I’m confused cos hunting does hurt animals… Also herding does?
I don’t mind killing for food, but not cool with torturing the creature before it dies. It doesn’t hurt the hunting dog is what I meant, and herding animals doesn’t harm the animal doing the herding, nor does it harm the herd.
I’m not vegan or vegetarian and have long critiques of the ideology of animal rights movements as they currently stand that I’m not going to get into now
