When good intentions become decoupled from veganism: the “no-kill” myth

(Original article publication date:  June 23, 2012 (Cruelty-Free))

For each cat or dog that you rescue but do not take vegan, you condemn dozens of animals per year to death, namely, the cows, pigs, turkeys, and others who are raped, tortured, and killed to become that cat’s or that dog’s meal. Each of these condemned beings is just as smart, just as loving, and just as worthy of protection as the one for whom you brutalized and killed them.

That’s why the so-called “No Kill” movement—when not coupled with veganism—produces an exponential acceleration of the killing.  One life saved produces, say, 24 killed.  It’s a meat industry bonanza.

And one of the most extreme perversions of people’s good intentions that modern culture has to offer, since its effect is the exact opposite of “No Kill.”

I advocate calling it the “Rape-and-Kill” movement or the “Over-Kill” movement so that people can at least go in with open eyes. Very few things are scarier than wholesale, unmitigated savagery in the name of good.
