soy ... destroys ecosystems and rainforests (#2), don't feed animals, feed people!

the vast majority ( over 80% ) of soy is pressed for oil. the byproduct of that process is called soycake or soy meal, and it would be industrial waste if we didn't feed it to livestock. that's a conservation of resources.

they're brought to full weight and slaughtered, or become dairy cows and produce milk

I've looked at the USDA data about veal, and to my recollection it was less than 3% of calves that became veal

as far as I know, chickens have never been proven to understand personal mortality. if you can point me to a cognitive-behaviorist study that shows otherwise, id be fascinated

being in a concentration camp doesn't give him any expertise on animal cognition. nor ethics. you are certainly falling for a genetic fallacy.

comparing slaves, or Holocaust victims, to animals is gross and you should stop doing that

this smacks of a genetic fallacy

but regardless, the Holocaust was wrong, in part, precisely because it did treat humans like animals. this is not an indictment of how we treat animals.

and no animal knows what a Nazi is.
