maybe. maybe the topic is more complex than that.
Are cows raped for butter? always? is it the same degree of awfulness if a cow gets ‘raped’ in a industrial plant or if a cow gets mounted by a bull in a field? is ‘rape’ even a term that can be used to describe actions that are done to or by animals? Or should it be used for humans only? is it disrespectful to human victims of rape to use the same words to describe something that happened to an animal? Are cows slaughtered for butter? every cow that produced milk that was used to make butter? How many people could the death of a cow benefit before it becomes a morally correct thing to do? What is a cows life worth? Would stopping to breed cows and thus a collapsing overall world-population of cows be something good or something bad? Or is it in between somewhere? Who defines even what is morally correct and what isnt?
Im not trying to be an asshole or anything (i know it seems like it here), but I dont think writing
Cows are raped & slaughtered for butter ~~the more you know!~~
with a slightly condescending undertone on a messageboard thread about popcorn is the smartest way to go about this
