BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Kern County Sheriff’s deputies accused of using a cat as target practice have been disciplined and they’re back at work.
The incident happened at the Hart Park training facility back in March.
A woman walking in the park said she saw the deputies shoot a cat and kill it.
This case is completed. The allegations were sustained. The officers involved were appropriately disciplined. I met with animal rights groups; they’re content with what we’re doing,” Youngblood said on 17 News at Sunrise. “They’re back to work, but they’ve been disciplined and that’s about all I can tell you without violating the peace officer bill of rights.”
However much it’s abstracted away, a slaughterhouse worker still has to slit the animals throat.
In this day and age you can just go online and see what happens in slaughterhouses and see your “food” get gassed, lobotomized, stabbed, electrocuted or boiled alive so saying it’s okay because you didn’t know is just too naïve.
Note that vegetarianism is just a diet, not a stance against the exploitation of animals. (Eg hens are killed for eggs, baby cows are killed for milk and cows are killed for leather which are all usually still eaten/used by vegetarians)
For sure, all very emotive arguments morally I agree with the sentiment.
My rebuttal was to you ascribing psychopathy to the general public because they eat meat, I expect you’ll see a much lower than average score for empathy across slaughterhouse workers ( and probably more psychopathy as well )
Tbh, it would be interesting to see what happened to meat consumption if we introduced laws mandating abattoir imagery on meat packaging.
You should align your actions with your morals and go vegan
You assume I’m not?
Yea, since you called it vegetarianism but that might’ve been a spelling error
Just lazy language use from me here I think.
