The guy led a group that stole farm animals and Vox calls it a 'rescue'. I wonder why he went to prison
Change "Farm animals" for "slaves" and you have your answer.
You don't steal individuals who are held against their will. You free them.
Crazy that this is getting downvoted. We are still so far off from even basic general empathy towards non-human animals it's making me cry...
Slaves are humans by definition. Every definition beings with
“A person who…”
Knowledge of definitions has nothing to do with empathy. It’s hard to take people seriously when they insist we don’t know the meanings of words.
The best definition I've seen of a "person" is "A being worthy of moral consideration." (a commonly used concept in moral philosophy). So yeah, that definition can be applied to a cow, unless you believe that no amount of suffering imposed on a cow for any or no reason could ever constitute an immoral act.
