Repeating Myself

Reading this article, which seemingly tries to list every way any animal suffers, reminds me of the blog posts I've written before about how using big numbers hurts animals. (I'm also not a fan of titles that start by saying "We can't..." when we very clearly can.)

More importantly, when we list and demand basically everything, the only response will be vegans liking and retweeting. Meanwhile:

This is why, to be a broken record*, I still argue for harm-reduction advocacy.
