      Go with a camera to a local meat farm then and show us how we have grown.

      Oh wait, you can’t since that’s illegal.

        Just because there hasn’t been growth in one area it doesn’t mean there hasn’t been growth in another.

        Animal cruelty still exists in abundance, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t gotten better in some aspects.

        Progress is good, and you are right to be so passionate about having more of it, but it’s good to make sure you can also see the positives or it will affect our own mental health. If we are gonna continue to make progress, we need to be healthy minded.

        I’m not trying to be a jackass I’m just trying to understand, when you ask for pictures of a local farm do you mean like pastures? I can totally take some pictures of cow pastures, I pass like 6 on the way to work. I don’t care if it’s illegal, stupid law anyway, but I can totally show you pictures of the exact types of farms I’m talking about.

        The reason I made my original comment was to highlight that not all farms are this. To claim otherwise is a falsehood. I think the cause is very noble and I have seen/fully understand there are horrific conditions that go on in some farms. If you however describe a narrative that isn’t true and act like it is, you will only turn people away not draw them in. Food for thought

          They’re talking about ag-gag laws. When people take pictures of the poor conditions on farms and it causes public outrage, the farm tends to lose business so some states have passed laws to protect the farmers.

      Quicker to get out of the weather and into a stable if he catches a ride vs. walking behind the horse.

        It takes quite a few minutes to unhitch a horse completely, especially if you are unfamiliar with the tack. Public stables used to have a huge open area to drive teams of horses right in, and unhitch where it’s warm and dry. Makes sense to get the horse moving and deal with it all indoors. Put it on Mr. Noblanket’s tab. What was he doing for 3 hours? Any guesses? 🕺
