I pray that the countless number of cows, pigs, and chickens that have lived and died so horribly in the factory farms may rest in peace...
I think it's incredible of you to face this issue through art because it's something people are afraid to face. That's why factory farming is such a huge problem in developed countries, and ESPECIALLY in the US. The fact that you drew this cow as a whole, the blood mixing with the milk in a way Alice is surprised to find the bluntness in, is perfect.
The amount of cruelty our society (as well as our legislation) tolerates towards animals is one of the things I struggle most with in life. I've been a vegetarian since third grade, but it was only a year ago that I actually went vegan. I was in denial for quite a long time, with so many messages thrown at me through media, lifelong conditioning, my peers...I was so selfish and afraid to actually take the next step. I reached a point where I couldn't live with myself and how selfish my choices had become despite claiming a "cruelty-free" lifestyle through vegetarianism, so I finally worked toward my goal, and I can honestly say not too many choices I've made have been that satisfying.
There's still no happy ending in realizing the mass-suffering of sentient beings, the hypocrisy of a history that repeats itself over and over, but I commend you for doing what you can and expressing yourself in a way that no one can take away from us- art.
Thank you for your work, and god bless.
I mean I have nothing against meat and stuff but I think every animal deserves a good life before their death. Factory farms made me cry as a kid already, especially seeing the thousands of chickens and pigs that started to eat themself in their tight cages that drove them insane and made them sick.
but that's just the lovelyness of it that you portray it as bluntly.
Love the message, such a powerful drawing. Fabulous.
Yep, but it would be really difficult to raise so many animals in ok conditions to provide enough meat for the McD people. I'd say it's impossible to do with the current level of meat consumption. Also meat would become much more expensive, which I think would be a good thing.
