The general public feeling today is that it’s ok to consume animal products as long as it comes from “humane” farms where animals are “happy” and have a “good life.” That’s the message they get from welfarism and that’s simply disastrous for animals. They will never be free if people still think like that and it won’t stop until veganism is being promoted as a moral baseline by every non-human animal rights movement.
