Pay attention, IKEA!

I think you're making too many assumptions about non human animals and their mental qualities and abilities in order to elevate us above them. What is "maternal love" in humans if not pure instinct? What is "personality"? Why are we using evaluative terms to describe animal behaviour in humans, but not in other…

Did you ever own a pet? I don't have any experience with turkeys, but I have enough experience with chickens to assure you that they definitely do have distinct personalities if you only give them a chance.

But there is no one size fits all solution because each issue is unique and has it's own complications.

Try it, you might like it. Here's a gluten-free tofurkey recipe. There are many turkey-free options.

If those wild animals were eaten after they died, would it make any difference to you? Does it matter that some animals have longer life expectancy in captivity due to no predation and starvation?

You compared wild animals and "food animals" and you mentioned impact on the lifespan of captured wild animals with an implication that this is somehow different from the shortened lifespan of farm animals. Did I misunderstand? My point is that there is no significant difference. And no moral difference. You are free…

Women are sluts if they sleep around, but men are not. This fact is due to the biological differences between men and women.

There's a fine line between diplomatic and cowardly. But I'd say this was 100% cowardliness. No one even asked IKEA to remove the image(s). Also, businesses shouldn't be exempt from moral culpability. There are some things you simply shouldn't do for any amount of profit.

That's terrible. I'm so sorry! :(

Breeding a wild animal to continue to be held in captivity is wrong.

I apologize for making the wrong assumption. It's just that I usually hear that question posed by people who don't really care about animal rights, and who point out moral inconsistencies only to criticize others who are at least doing something. I'm a vegan too.

Just a small correction. Lifetime of farm animals is severely reduced. For instance cows can live for over 20 years, but dairy cows are slaughtered once they are "spent" after 2-4 years. Chickens can live up to 15 years but egg laying hens are slaughtered after 18 months - 2 years. In both dairy- and egg industry,…

Is it really that complicated? We ought to stop exploiting non human animals, wild and domesticated. We ought to take care of those animals that can't survive in the wild (such as domesticated animals and orphaned wild animals), and leave the wild animals that can take care of themselves alone and stop destroying…

The "some animals can exist in captivity" bit made it sounds so. I'm sorry if I misunderstood.

Because americans don't eat whale meat. Anyway, I am happy that people care about some issues rather than none. I mean, would you rather they didn't care at all? Is consistency more important than doing something right? Why are you even asking about this? Do you care about factory animals or are you just making a…

Not defending Katy Perry, but I agree with you. It's a lot easier to criticize things if it requires zero personal effort. I imagine if kimonos were more popular with american Jezebel readers, there wouldn't be as many complaints about Katy Perry's choice of wardrobe.

I know a doctor who believes in the immaculate conception. He's still a great doctor. Just sayin'.
