I assume that the timing of this long-known-but-rarely-discussed issue becoming a major fact-checked, ridiculed, talked-about, proven and expanded-on (adrenochrome) meme was arranged by the Trump campaign and/or other White Hats. It is pure genius.
Compared to humans, dogs and cats are all feeling and emotion. Dogs (and cats) help open us up to our own feelings and bring our love to the foreground. There is too-little love in the lives of most people -- probably more true of Woke lefties than of well-grounded MAGA types -- and that effect makes us feel strongly bonded to our pets.
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of Dogs Never Lie About Love and other books, says that "love is the master emotion of dogs." Any pet owner can FEEL that reality (unless they're seriously closed off to it) and since love is a core need for humans -- see Jesus' words on Love in John: 13:34 - 13:35 -- our dogs (or cats) become far more important to us than many non-pet-owners might think.
The emotional punch of this cruelty to animals thing is huge and I suspect the effects will continue to grow. It's a crowbar into the healthy (but often buried or stunted) emotions of millions.
I think the 'destruction' is part of the plan to actually accomplish what I'm talking about; family farms.
The 'push' is from the 'influencers'. a lot of them are on meat only diets, yet they are buying store bought processed crap.
If they're for such a lifestyle, they should understand how to get proper meat.
also think this is a do-over for awhile, going back to simpler time, as GW intended.

"The phrase refers to the independence of the peasant farmer who is freed from military oppression.5 In the biblical passage there is a juxtaposition of the simple life with that of royalty or the state.6 Thus, it would seem that Washington's use of "vine and fig tree" in its full context would be an appropriate message in the setting of the American Revolution and the founding of the United States."@
