Cotton which uses such huge amounts of water?Remember that you don't have to kill a sheep to use its wool. Note also, that sheep are not usually farmed under factory farm conditions, they graze out of doors, usually in areas with too poor soil to grow food.

some alternatives are bamboo, linnen and hemp.is it better that they torture the sheep while they're alive?
some rabbit fur and goose feather products are advertised as "better animal welfare" when they kill the animals before they extract their feathers or fur.
anyway, eventually, the sheep in the wool industry are being killed. buying wool directly pays for animal abuse and helps subsidize the sheep flesh business.
if we want to prevent animal cruelty, a good start is to stop paying for, using and consuming animal products.

@pelle Everything eventually dies. I suggest you follow some actual sheep farmers to see their nature-harmonious lives, how much they love their sheep and take care of them.

@LillyHerself @pelle we should exclusively wear garments manufactured from the hair of people's high horses

> Mastodon is not a place for preaching.why you preaching anti-fascism from your profile text then?
> Everything eventually dies.
sure, but that does not make killing okay, does it?
weird to see self-described anti-fascist being pro-murder.
scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

@punissuer @pelle yes, do continue equating non-veganism with Nazism, it's very persuasive and not a level of parody that would be rejected by South Park's writers as too absurd

it's not an uncommon or far-out comparison.editor-in-chief of #currentaffairs, nathan robinson, writes about it in »meat and the h-word«

»In relation to animals, all people are Nazis; for the animals, it is an eternal Treblinka.«earlier this year, another holocaust survivor, dr. alex hershaft, makes the comparison on this podcast, https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gilesdesign/episodes/the-one-about-a-holocaust-survivor-e2v409s
of course it is not a 1:1 comparison, but there are overlaps:
• transporting prisoners in »cattle cars«,
• mass killings in gas chambers,
• using the skin and hair of others for clothing and furniture (as we discussed above)for investigative documentaries about the CO₂ gas chambers where pigs are painfully suffocated, see joey carbstrong's #pignorant from last year, or check https://watchdominion.com
when others write about the horrors of animal abuse industries and slaughterhouses, and you see it as a joke that is too absurd for south park, you come across as a person who is as much in denial as zionists are about the gaza genocide.
you are likely to flip 180° from denial to glee from the killing.
it is not our job to be »persuasive« by pandering to your hurt carnist feelings, like antifa don't take directions from nazis on how to speak.
if you can't even convince yourself to not deliberately abuse animals for your taste and fashion preferences, your advice on being »persuasive« is not worth much, is it?
stop being an oppressor. go vegan.
