We have people that have no problem subjecting a child to hormone injections, chemical blockers and disfiguring surgeries in the name of Gender Politics. But substitute “child” with “puppy”, and you will have a mob at your doorstep ready to burn you alive for cruelty.
You can’t even treat chickens with antibiotics anymore and the same for injecting hormones in cattle. But it is OK to Mengele the shit out of a prepubescent kid till it is a manufactured freak of political medicine.
Also: pretty much the same people who are pushing for unrestricted childhood genital mutilation now, were pushing, not so many years ago, for a total ban on childhood circumcision. But they’re not antisemitic at all, oh my goodness no.
BTW, not treating chickens with antibiotics has implications both bad and good. On the one hand, judicious use of antibiotics is clearly good for maintaining the health of the flock. On the other, indiscriminate use of antibiotics accelerates the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. On yet another, some people (my wife, for example) have medical issues that can be triggered by antibiotic residues in food, and thus have to look for meats specifically labeled as antibiotic-free.
