and counties with slaughterhouses that employ a significant number of people always have higher instances of domestic abuse, murder, and suicide

being exposed to violence up close and personal has bad effects on people


correlation doesn't equal causation

poor areas in general have more dv, murder and suicides

slaughterhouses are found in poor areas

there you have it, a connection that isn't based on slaughterhouses making people violent

i've never seen a vegan talk about this and brag about how they do nothing wrong bc they eat vegan and half the time won't even acknowledge human beings die in our fields and that child labor laws are broken regularly

^

this

a lot of energy is lost in the transition from plant to animal matter

if we reared plant matter directly instead of wasting time on the animal phase, there would be fewer stages of suffering and less would need to be done altogether

obviously the best bet is to fix production, but until we get to that point reducing consumption is ideal

u can choose not to support the meat industry by not eating meat but it's harder to do something like that when it comes to crops

it doesn't mean ppl don't care about it, they just have to try to make a difference in another way

that still doesn't address the ppl getting cropdusted tending to plants meant for human consumption but a+ dodge

nayrt

a lot of the horrible conditions w/ slaughterhouses are tied directly to how they treat the animals, and if that changes then conditions for the workers improve too. growing enough food for everyone w/o exposing workers to herbicides/fungicides/pesticides isn't smth we can do until we replace all human workers w/ robots

some people take things one issue at a time, but i think you're forgetting that a lot of vegans are super into buying ~local~ and ~ethical~ when it comes to their plant products too

i know a lot who are incredibly picky about coffee and chocolate esp, since those industries are pretty abusive even by agricultural standards
