We were talking about an animal sanctuary, not a factory farm. Please don’t jump into a conversation with ridiculous comparisons when you don’t even know the topic of discussion.
I read the whole previous thread before commenting. No, they weren’t talking about a sanctuary, they were talking about an aquarium that uses non-human animals to make money. That’s the whole thing that (justifiably) pissed of Eiren. Calling it a sanctuary is white-washing. Like how people will white-wash native schools. Once again, the only reason you think my comparisons are ridiculous are because of your fundamentally reactionary and unjustifiable belief that non-human animals are objects to used for human pleasure, to be looked at for entertainment or murdered to make a meal slightly tastier.
The Hexbear user in question mentioned the Monterey Bay Aquarium, referring to it as an animal sanctuary. Eiren described it as “an incarceration and psychological torture facility for wild animals”, without further explanation. She also subsequently claimed that “all aquariums and zoos are torture facilities”, with no indication that this specific organization was particularly bad (which it may be, but that’s irrelevant to the ban). Rather than explaining why it is problematic, Eiren immediately insulted the Hexbear user, and this is the only reason for her ban. I would appreciate if you’d stop putting words in my mouth.
