This is such an important article, Jessica. Think the mind conditioning of kids and society as a whole that other animals are 'livestock', mere commodities to animal agriculture, rather than the individual, sentient beings they are, is one of the biggest hurdles to overcome, to strive to getting to a world where we do not raise other living beings for meat, eggs, dairy, leather, fur, testing and more.

Yes, exactly, a huge hurdle. Human hubris has no boundaries. And of course: animal agriculture is all about money. They have very powerful/rich supporters, they influence the USDA.

A few years ago I made a "more accurate" 4-H logo meme. I wanted to share it with you here but I guess I can't share images.

Sorry, I don't think this is possible. Maybe you could describe it? Or go to "Notes" -- there you can upload images. I'd love to see it.
