            What do people need from animal products? Especially so strong of a need that it requires the cycle of breeding and torture I’ve already discussed?

                What do you call separating a mother from her baby and killing him because he’s born male in the dairy industry? What do you call pigs that have no space and accidentally crush their piglets while hearing their screams because their legs cannot stand anymore? What do you call being surrounded by your excrement 24/7 and the only sunlight you get is on the way to the slaughter house? Stop defending abusers.

                  in torture inflicting pain or distress is the point. if all of these procedures could be done without the pain or distress, they would be. the pain or distress is incidental. it’s not torture. qed

                    Intention doesn’t define torture. Many people aren’t sadists, but they like money more than they care about morals. Or taste from the consumers.

                  the vast majority of calves are brought to full weight before slaughter, but this isn’t torture either.

                    They’re separeted from their mothers and not allowed to feed. The mothers cry out wiyh so much agony. The calves are confined and given powdered milk in water, often not enough.

                    Separation of love is torture. It’s agonogizing pain. Imagine being sexually assaulted and then giving birth and someone steals your child from you

      the controversy is in the structure, completeness, and origin. the constituent parts aren’t controversial, except to the extent that they may not be complete. self actualization may require a mastery of french cuisine, and that will require dairy, eggs, fish, poultry, and meat.
