Over 50 billion farm animals are being raised for human food right now, mostly in bad conditions. Showing any concern at all about the vast scope of this suffering provokes many twitter trolls to call one a 'soyboy'. Ah, life's rich diversity of ethical principles.
Yep. There's the tendency to assume that anyone concerned about animal welfare must be Leftist, despite the traditions of compassion and stewardship in many conservative world-views.
