"Forget the pig is an animal - treat him just like a machine in a factory" | Hog Farm Management magazine, 1976

EDIT: changed title to reflect that the original place saying the quote was the Hog Farm Management magazine rather than the Washington Post. The photo itself is from an article in the Washington post
Yeah, I feel like people trying to humanize livestock aren't familiar with how capitalists treat most people. There are preschool children mining toxic metals we need for our cell phone batteries. We know this, and while not one of us is in a position to change it ourselves, we all collectively look the other way because we want cell phones.
It's not that we don't care, it's that we feel powerless to fix it and we benefit from the atrocity. If you want people to engage, you have to make people believe they can help. And then they actually have to help somehow.
