Just found out this Wikipedia article where it says its american: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_Restaurants
But then in there there is a link to this other article where it says that A&W Canada is actually a separate Canadian company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_(Canada)
Kind of confusing to be honest but if I understood correctly, it seems like buying in there is not supporting the americans, am I right?
Being Canadian does not make it okay to commit cruelty, violence, torture and atrocity against vulnerable individuals.
Sir this is an A&W.
The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children, and are owed exactly the same unconditional love and protection.
Oh we absolutely need to abolish livestock production. If not for moral reason than ecologically driven existential ones.
But you being a cunt doesn’t accomplish anything.
I could not have been more neutral. I simply stated facts. If you find them offensive, I would examine the reasons.
I certainly didn’t call anyone childish names.
People are concerned about buying Canadian because they want to do what seems to be the right thing. Trade in another individual’s body is never the right thing. It is always wrong to treat an individual as a means rather than as an end.
It’s not individuals, just animals.
Cattle, pigs, and chickens are individuals. Each is a particular someone: a living being with their own body, perspective, experiences, preferences, fears, habits, relationships, and continued interest in what happens to them.
It does not mean they are human, or that their minds work exactly like human minds. It means they are not morally interchangeable objects. It means they have moral worth as individuals.
Regardless of whether you agree that they are individuals, you appear to be saying that you think it is morally acceptable to commit needless cruelty, violence, torture and atrocity against animals. Is that your position?
Not needless. And no, I don’t care what happens to chickens.
