IMO, the abortion industry is way more like Nazism than eating eggs.
An entire class of people are being denied life legally and the government sanctions it. In fact, WAY more have died through abortion then Hitler or Stalin could have dreamed of.
Eggs?? No comparison IMO. I'm not saying that animals should be treated badly, but there's really no comparison to what was done during the holocaust. Again that was the deliberate extermination of certain classes of human beings sanctioned by sitting governments and accepted by millions of their fellow human beings.
I just can't see any real correlation between what happened then and what happens in the chicken/egg industry; however bad it may be at this time. I believe the comparison demeans the memories the millions of human beings who were murdered during the holocaust. There is a difference between chickens and humans, That's not to say that any animals should be mistreated, but hey, we DO have to eat, and humans have been eating meat, eggs and other animal products for eons.
I don't denigrate vegetarians, vegans; etc for their food choice, but I could just as easily make the claim that slaughtering millions of plants to feed vegetable eaters is a holocaust. I think it's a absurd assumption, but after all, they are living, breathing life forms and they do die in order that other may live.
Do they feel pain?? Who knows?? Maybe they do at some level; maybe not, but if they do, then they're being murdered too. They're being raised strictly to be harvested and sold for a profit, as well as to be eaten. Even fruit bearing plants are eventually cut down or die.
They're pruned, chopped, cut, processed, squeezed, etc. They're removed in order to make room for new and better plants fairly regularly as well, so who's to say what they feel?? We KNOW that they do feel something. Plants react negatively to certain stimuli, so who's to say they're not experiencing some type of suffering at some level??
If they are, are vegetable eaters also comparable to Nazis?? I personally don't believe that at all, but if they're suffering at some level throughout the process from growing to the dinner plate and the same analogy is applied, I don't see a huge difference. I mean, does a cornfield collectively suffer as the big machines come in, strip the fruit from the plant and others tear the roots up from the ground afterward?? maybe they do and maybe they don't; but if the possibility that they do in fact exists, then how is that any more or less humane than chicken farming?? The end result is still the same; which is death at some point.
