I know how you feel Euthanasia brigade. When I saw the counters in the homepage I had a few moments of shock. I also tried to comprehend, and it was actually the human counters running beside the animals counters who made me think about the enormous gaps between them in the sense of death, even though I know it is not what they had in mind when they put them there.
The years 1939 – 1945 are considered by many as the worst in human history.
But there are more chicken victims in just one day than the number of casualties during the second world war, the soviet political purification and the Nazi ethnic purification. And that’s chickens alone in just one day. Not even the worst day in chickens’ history but any given day.
Every day about 280 million animals are murdered in factory farms. In just a few hours the number of animal victims reaches the number of human victims in those most horrible years.
If you change the species type then the years which are considered the worst in human history, are a few hours of everyday from a quantitative point of view.
My point is not that we live in a speciesist world, it’s so obvious I’d be wasting your time. My point is that if those years were the everyday reality of humans, day by day, year after year, then the number of the Only One Solution movement supporters was enormous. Probably most if not all of the ones who are not in power.
