A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.
Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.
State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.
Their weird rationalization for why people are downvoting the vegan comment. I agree with its sentiment but not its delivery is my point, as a counter example to their reasoning bias.
I personally don’t think that there is enough text in that comment to accurately decide if it was smug or not, but even if you believe that it was smug, I’m not gonna tell you you’re wrong, but if you agree that the point is correct and you’re only downvoting it because of how it was worded, I think you’re doing more damage to the Lemmy community than you’re doing good, since even if it is a smug comment it is not overtly smug, it is not disrespectful, and the point is valid and very important considering that animal lives are already overlooked and undervalued.
Yeah, and it’s tied to what I said earlier. There was some thought behind it lol
Let’s not. I sincerely did not vote either way because I also agree with the sentiment, but I commented as if I had (down) voted because of the friction it creates in my mind. We don’t need to go around arbitrarily assigning blame.
