    Causing suffering and harm to animals by separating them from their mothers and killing them is cruel.

    I disagree this is cruel.

      That’s pretty messed up. Of course it’s cruel. Only a person who lacks empathy for animals would say that causing suffering to an animal unnecessarily isn’t cruel.

        there is some question about whether it’s justified, sure, but it’s not inherently cruel. the suffering isn’t the point of the practice, it’s incidental.
