Really? Is that the best that you can come up with? Slaughterhouses are the last thing anyone thinks or cares about, but it's certainly not for something petty like opaque walls, or children not being taken to slaughterhouses.

It's because the creatures being taken to slaughterhouses are inferior beings. It's because they aren't people. It's because they wouldn't be capable of having a single conversation with a human about the slaughterhouse or their beliefs about it. Until other animals are capable of advocating for themselves, like even a child knows how to do, then they will contjnue to get what they deserve. No matter how many class trips you organize and glass windows you install.

So can we just kill people with disabilities? Those who are deaf or mute, for example? Those who can't articulate? Are they also inferior? Think about it. That's exactly the problem. We humans are intelligent beings, we can discuss, reflect, etc. and we should be aware that we can stand up for those who can't defend themselves. Animals have feelings and memories just like we do. They can cry and feel joy and fear! Just because they don't speak our language doesn't mean they aren't intelligent. I find that so outrageous. That people put themselves above animals. It's like in the past, when gypsies and dwarfs were put in cages in the circus to be observed, etc. I expect a bit more empathy and intelligence from humanity!

Thank you for your questions. To respond, people who are deaf or mute are still people and I don't care about whether someone is superior or inferior if it's in some other way. However, if a human is so brain damaged or antisocial that they will never talk or write or sign with another human being then their beliefs don't deserve respect.

I notice that you decided to start bringing up how other animals have intelligence and emotion, but I'm not sure why. Were you responding to something I said?
