It is time to leave the empty words and stop being an animal exploiter.

It is time to leave the empty words and stop being an animal exploiter.

No need to talk about love, kindness, or compassion. This is not about virtues but about a basic moral obligation: to recognize animals as the individuals they are and to live without objectifying or using them.

Realize your exploitative perception towards animals. See yourself as who you really are in regard to animals: Their exploiter. The one who objectifies and uses them for your purposes.

The reality is that individuals should never be used. This undoubtedly applies for all animals, because each one of them is in truth a unique individual.

The injustice remains as long as you refuse to recognize an individual as an individual.

Your comfortable and complicit denial of animals as individuals perpetuates animal use.

Only you can end the injustice that originates from within yourself. Animals do not exist for you. This is all you must internalize.

No effort is required from you to be fair towards others. Being fair to animals by not objectifying or using them is the only possibility when you recognize them as the individuals they are

When you acknowledge someone as an individual you cannot think of them as resources, you cannot use them in any way. The thought doesn’t cross your mind.

So this is the moment for you to dismantle your exploitative perception towards animals, which translates in ending your use of animals.

Do not confuse this with a welfarist or utilitarian ideology. Objectifying and using animals is wrong regardless of the means, harm or impact it causes.

Have the basic honesty to accept that animals are individuals and not resources.

All animals exist for themselves and not for you to use them.

This is not an opportunity to virtue signal or a chance to claim hero-like qualities. This is a basic duty of yours; one that you have failed to fulfill until now. Animals are the victims of your exploitative perception and actions.

Put an end to the false belief that animals are resources that exist for you to use them.

Have the basic honesty and integrity to end your objectification and use of animals.

End animal use.
