Animal Rights Advocate

For a Republican Party that prides itself on personal responsibility, protecting the sentient unborn and free markets, I was curious your thoughts on animal rights, just because the government subsidizes animal agriculture far more than fruits and vegetables and plant foods, which inhibits the free market and ends up slaughtering lots of animals.

And animals are also sentient beings like the unborn. So I was curious your thoughts on all of that.

I mean, in terms of what rights we give to animals, of course we wouldn't give animals the right to drive a car or vote because it's not relevant to them. But the rights that would be relevant to them are basic negative rights, the right not to be mistreated or killed. And we already have that for cats and dogs and even cruelty laws on farm animals.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I mean, the reason I'm bringing this up ultimately is these animals that we kill on factory farms, we kill them pigs in gas chambers. We ground up male chicks alive for the ag industry because only the female hens lay eggs. All these different things is because we view animals on not having enough rights to actually protect their livelihood.

I'm making an argument that we shouldn't obviously give animals rights that aren't relevant to them.

No, I think that should be left up to the free market. The reason I'm concerned about it is the government is spending billions of dollars.

Real quick, do you think ultimately that our Republican Party that is pro-free market should be propping up billions of dollars towards subsidies for agriculture?

So would you, if you were in a voting position, either if you were an elected leader, would you vote against and should Republicans vote against that?
