Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr has received more than 7,000 emails about a Wyoming man who reportedly captured and tormented a wolf before killing it, he told Cowboy State Daily on Wednesday.
Some of those are threats.
Lehr said people in his office, as well as Sublette County and Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel, have been receiving threats — including death threats — stemming from Daniel, Wyoming, man Cody Roberts’ reported capture, torment and killing of a wild wolf in late February.
okay so in your effort to imply that every meat eater is as bad as this guy, you’re saying that this guy isn’t all that bad in comparison and you expect people to respond to that how? You’re coming across more as an animal abuse apologist with this comment than an animal freedom fighter, but you do you
No, I didn’t say he’s not bad. I said he isn’t neurodivergent. If you think neurodivergence is bad, then you’re not just an animal abuse apologist, you’re a human abuse apologist. Personally, I don’t care what his neurotype is, because it doesn’t affect my estimation of his moral character. He’s an animal abuser, and using a controversial mental health term doesn’t inform my judgement of that fact. But I do object to the implicit assertion that neurotypicals do not tend towards animal abuse.
That word seems to be losing more and more meaning but I think the assertion is valid; you don’t torture animals if you’re a sane stable individual. That this is more typical in psychopathy completely tracks.
Neurodivergent is a pretty broad term. It just means anyone who isn’t neurotypical.
Yeah, but someone else injected that into the conversation in order to take offense. The person that started this said psychopathy and someone else took that as “neurodivergent slander.”
A psychopath can be a psychopath, that doesn’t mean an autistic person or any other type of neurodivergence is the same kind of bad (they’re not bad at all, just need to clarify that.)
Except that there are plenty of neurotypical slaughterhouse workers. That said, the toll working in a slaughterhouse takes on a person’s mental health is beyond what I would wish on my worst enemy. Taking lives all day every day, sometimes not hitting right and watching the animal suffer before you hit it again, being surrounded by all that death, the severed cow heads in the bins staring lifelessly back at you as if in accusation… that fucks a person up. That turns mentally healthy men into the kind troubled enough to attempt suicide. But they are, most of them, when they start working, mentally healthy. Studies have tracked the mental health of towns before and after a slaughterhouse opened and started offering jobs. Violent crime went up. Spousal abuse went up. Drug problems went up. Those workers were okay, and they took a job society says isn’t that bad, is necessary, and it ruined them. Turned them into the kind of men who would beat their wives, because you have to become a violent and dangerous person in order to survive working a job like that.
And the person forking over their ten dollars to McDonald’s for a Big Mac is financing all that suffering. That person is not mentally ill, they are doing what society says is completely acceptable and normal. But it isn’t.
Working at a slaughter house isn’t the same as torturing animals for fun I can definitely see how slaughterhouses would attract that sort of person, but they’re still not the same thing.
I’m not really trying to defend or argue against the factory farming industry. Just pointing out the false equivalency.
But buying a burger is the same as torturing animals for fun. Meat isn’t fun for the slaughterhouse worker, it’s fun for the customer. And the customer is the one making the whole operation happen. All the money comes from the customers.
Bad bot.
Oh that’s an even worse argument. You’re clearly either not serious or too stupid to have a conversation with.
Have a nice day ☺️
