alt Hacker NewsI suppose you are vegetarian? Cause the amount of suffering that the majority of animals have endure which are killed for meat is on a similar level. (Transport to slaughterhouse and subsequent death by suffocation or boiling, depending on species.)
Or rather, vegan? Since average dairy cow or hen endures quite some suffering over their whole life too. In addition to then experiencing a similar death to what animals mainly used for meat production endure.
This is meant to point out that the shredder is a terrible machine, buy not categorically worse than how the typical production animal is treated at some point of their conscious life.
(To clarify, I'm personally neither vegan nor vegetarian so am not trying to elevate myself morally above you.)
Spare me the whatabout- and no-true-scotsman- isms.
People in this position had a choice: they chose a terrible option.
There weren't economies of scale. There weren't labor cost concerns. There weren't quotas.
At minimum, someone could have researched how slaughterhouses stun prior the euthanasia.
