    Slaughterhouses are just a symptom of pasturing.

    Many people killing their dog or some people killing dogs all day is not much difference when killing is wrong - the usual criticism of alienation from the work and product doesn’t quite translate when it’s not your body to begin with.

    Veganism argues that abolishing slaughterhouses is just one step, for it also wants to abolish animal exploitation.

    Abolishing animal exploitation is coupled to abolishing slaughterhouses though, because artificially breeding animals for exploitation will eventually overpopulate the carrying capacity of a given area or company and breeders will need a way to sustain their business by killing ‘excess’ animals.
