California could send a man to prison for 3.5 years for rescuing factory-farmed animals. Where does the movement go from here?

Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

    Lions have to eat meat to survive, humans don’t. Humans are also moral agents, animals are not.

          To prevent the reproduction of those who rely on murder. If a person had a genetic disorder where they needed a human heart transplant every year to live do you think they should get it? And even if they do, should they reproduce?

            I didn’t realize transplants only came from killing people, your totally applicable and thoughtful analogy has me rethinking my life choices now.

            Here’s a thought experiment for you: if you were on an island, with only the vegan section of a grocery store to eat for survival, would you eat the vegan food?

              Can you explain your point a little more?

                  When did I say all transplants require killing someone? I said that a heart transplant required someone with a working heart to die. Just as a lion eating meat requires another animal to die.

                    Since lions aren’t moral agents (look this up if you’re unfamiliar with the term, it’s not only a vegan term) they don’t commit murder when they kill for food. Also, someone dying and donating an organ also isn’t murder.
