did yall know that there were animal shelters / laws in place for animals before there were foster home for kids / laws against harming kids … just wild … its bc we needed animals for capitalistic reasons and $ like horses to move stuff and food so we needed them to be healthy hence the need for laws and regulations.. meanwhile kids just continued to get abused bc we didn’t need them for $ as much 😭 wild

went into a deep dive into union stockyards and it’s crazy how fucked american capitalism ties into not only the cruelty of animals but also like …. the union stockyards is what led to mass slaughter and near extinction of bison which directly ties to the displacement and genocide of indigenous people and it’s all bc of chicago … bruh.
