putting myself in prison wouldnt help anything.

i didn't say you should be in prison. i suggested a way you could actually stop animal slaughter.

edit:

i believe in your creativity and resourcefulness, and i think you can come up with a way that effectively and directly reduces slaughter without landing in prison. perhaps if you looked up your local animal liberation front, you would find some allies to help in your endeavor.

Maybe I shouldnt assume. I thought you meant to go to a factory farm and rescue animals. If theres a way to do that without legal risk Im game. Is that what you meant?

I thought you meant to go to a factory farm and rescue animals.

i did, but don't get fucking caught! or make sure you have the resources not to land in jail, whether that's a rich dad and a good lawyer or the support of the local populace, or whatever.

i think your goal is laudable. it's not personally motivating for me, but it clearly is for you, and i hope you make some real progress on it in your life. if i told you that using lemmy reduced factory farming, i doubt you'd think that's true since there is no evidence of it. the main piece of evidence we have about animal agriculture is that it basically always increases. so no method, that i know of, is effective at shrinking it, but you could achieve some actual tangible results if you adopt other tactics.

I wonder what new laws and penalties would get passed if people started essentially raiding factory farms en masse.

I will give you credit for making me consider a third option here, although it seems to have a scaling issue too.
