Animal Liberation

XIX. Did you know that in numerous experiments repeated since the 19th century, countless animals were subjected to heat, and as a result of these experiments, no information could be obtained other than that the animals became ill and died from the heat? Every year, millions of animals around the world are heated, frozen, poisoned, starved, dismembered, depressed and made mentally ill in similar experiments, without any expectation of concrete benefit. Approximately 50 billion animals are killed for meat every year. Most of them are raised using "industrial animal husbandry" techniques, they suffer every second of their lives and are sometimes killed before they ever see sunlight or set foot on the ground. Millions of vegetarians around the world make the claim that this is a necessity increasingly less convincing. In hunting for "sport" purposes, in the fur industry, and in the entertainment industry, there is no need to even give any justification to inflict pain on animals. We constantly talk about concepts such as morality, justice and equality, but when it comes to animals, we suddenly switch to a completely different understanding of morality. The summary of this understanding is this: The strong is right, and we can treat a being that does not have the strength to defend itself as we wish.
