yes, let us become more relient on animal cruelty and enslavement
Who knows, maybe this backfires and conservatives stop eating eggs because they give you the gay.
Backfires? Seems like the ideal outcome
No, that’s IBS, this is HRT we’re talking about
We already are. I admit that I know very little about the topic, but are we not reliant on animal cruelty for: insulin, antivenom, spider silk, and many more where alternatives would be expensive or even non existent? Though I do agree in this case with HRT, because I love injections and I find them relatively cheap. Feel encouraged to correct me.
i’m not super informed on those subjects, but i did not mean to imply that humanity is not currently relying on animal cruelty. my point is just that we should not increase that relience. i think we should really do everything we can to minimize it (short of killing/starving ourselves)
