"if your business model can’t survive without needlessly inflicting torture on animals..."

So like, all factory farming and most of the meat industry?

Wow, if your business model can’t survive without needlessly inflicting torture on animals then maybe it should die (and so should you). Looking at you Mr. “I’m already working with my lawyers,” Marcus Henley, vice president of Hudson Valley Foie Gras in New York, and you, D.C. chef Bart Hutchins, who is also “exploring legal options.”

Have you asked the engineers at MIT to provide you health insurance

is it only the fur

Mostly for the fur as the other body parts sold for lower value things like pet food

(though I don't like calling them just "byproduct" as they play a role to subsidize the industry)

I remember the sadness I felt when I read about the millions of minks that were killed when an infection of COVID spread on a farm. So glad to see this news.

I don't really understand why they're farmed in the first place, is it only the fur?

“We thought we would have to make really complicated arguments,” says Britta Riis, chief executive officer of Animal Protection Denmark, the country’s largest animal welfare organization. “Suddenly, it was just about the pig.”

I know the paragraph that comes after this clarifies it isn't strictly about the pigs, but just: holy shit, what?

I really appreciate the additional context. Sentient Media is a godsend whose reporting I clearly don't read as much as I should.

For some context on Denmark specifically: Denmark's elections earlier this year had a bigger focus on animal agriculture, albeit along more "animal welfare" lines, but it's significant for it to be even seen as a legitimate mainstream political topic at all

All of the above heightened Danish media coverage of animal welfare issues by January 2026. In just 72 hours, a citizens’ initiative collected the 50,000 signatures necessary to trigger a parliamentary debate on animal welfare. Animal Protection Denmark collaborated, joining the Danish Society for Nature Conservation, Greenpeace Denmark and the National Association against Pig Factories to form the “alliance for a pig election.” And by the March election, 53% of polled Danish voters said that animal welfare would definitely influence how they cast their ballots, and 95% said urgent action was needed to protect the country’s drinking water.

Danish Nature Minister Christian Rabjerg Madsen said the government had chosen animal welfare.

"A business should not continue just because it has existed for a long time. It should also make sense for society, for the economy and for the animals," he said.

Sorry, between the surprise turnaround against Bolsonaro in Brazil and the surprise turnaround against mink farming in Denmark, did I get isekai'd into a divergent timeline where people speak basic common sense?

I don't know what you mean by this. All the posts except these two announcements are on /c/memes@vegancirclejerk.com, it is a community running on a lemmy instance (vegancirclejerk.com) that is running on an old i3 desktop in my closet. I launched the instance for my friends and it is just for fun. If you don't like it, block the community or instance.

It's as individual posts too

It is a circlejerk community, we post these in the chat and think they're funny. Lighten up, sorry people have fun and think different things are funny than what you do.

why

What's with all the "produce looking like penis" images on the community? And the downvote spam on every post? I see you're also one of the people posting a lot of the penises. It's really stupid if every post in the community is a vegetable penis.

Reminds me of a song

Thank you so much! It really is super cozy, especially right out of the oven. 😊

By the way, what other kind of pastry or veggie recipes would you like to see on the blog? I am planning new recipes this week and I'd love to know what you usually look for!

yum. looks tasty af!

Imagine promoting animal slaughter

Shut the fuck up bloodmouth.

Same. I’ve never been a steak fan. I’d rather have a piece of chicken or a pork chop than a steak. If it’s gonna be beef grind it up and patty it.

I’ve never understood this trope that real men love steak. Different people have different tastes and preferences and it doesn’t make them less than.

Real men defend animals, not victimise them ♡

That is perfect! Pumpkin works beautifully in this soup instead of butternut squash. I hope you love it! 😊

By the way, what other kind of cozy recipes would you like to see on the blog? I am currently planning new recipes to share and I'd love to know what you usually look for.

Let me know how the soup turns out this weekend!

Always hated that 'man up and have a steak' bs.
