    I have a medium-sized garden in my house with a few chickens and a tree.

    That’s how I oppose chicken factory farms.

      Please oppose extracting resources out of chicken for your benefit, at their cost. Please oppose commodifying animals and leave them alone. Why don’t vegans eat backyard eggs?

      You’re kind of unbelievable to make a post like this when you’re not even vegan. THIS is the antivegan psyop.

        Thanks for sharing that article. I wasn’t aware of the health issues and other complications from backyard chickens. I still opposed it on the basis of not being able to take people at their word when they claim to take care of their chickens, as the profit motive pulls you against the chickens’ best interests, but I appreciate the additional information.

          Aww that’s so sweet. Thank you! Yeah like…first thing I ask people with backyard chicken is where they got them from (it’s a breeder). And most people that have backyard chicken aren’t even serious enough to be “completely vegan except this.” Let alone everyone that imvokes the “what about backyard chicken” excuse. So it’s a garbage distraction.

          It’s a lot more respectable when people are actually completely vegan except x, when they make excuses about oh but I can’t give up x. Bar’s in hell.

          I don’t care if you’re honest. I care you stop hurting others. How about you go vegan before lecturing vegans about how to do veganism correctly. I couldn’t give two shits about what non vegans like you think about PETA. Only makes me think that their “aggressive tactics” worked on you and made you uncomfortable about your complicity.
