It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.

most people don't do that.

Raping a cow every year of her life

no one does that

cries actual tears

There's no good evidence of any other animal aside from us actually crying with tears. Can animals tear up a little during heightened emotions? Sure. And yeah, I understand some animals do have emotions, they're just not exactly the same as us. Doesn't mean they're worthless.

So I'm not saying the cows aren't distressed, but they aren't crying tears like sobbing children.

Okay PETA

All the animals we create are entitled to the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children.

a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
