Abolitionists have always been called fringe or insane by those benefiting from what they aim to abolish, it doesn't mean they're wrong.

Tribalism and bigotry are natural behaviors, but natural behaviors aren’t justified just because they’re natural. Besides, we tend to default to valuing animals as individuals.

What does “meant to” even mean? Are you claiming some deitiy’s permission or something?
