California could send a man to prison for 3.5 years for rescuing factory-farmed animals. Where does the movement go from here?

Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

    This has been true for a long time. Upton Sinclair, writing over 100 years ago about improving working conditions (for humans) ended up missing the mark and the end result was food quality regulations. Now, folks are trying to expose animal cruelty but end up getting stronger protections for corporations 🤡 we just can’t seem to care about living things 🙁

      The Jungle wasn’t about the animals, it was about the people. He was famously unhappy with the government’s response, and said “I aimed at the public’s heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach.”
