    This is just dishonest. The comparison is made specifically because of #2. It’s the attempt to connect emotions and judgements people have about Nazi atrocities with animal slaughter. That’s also why you quoted a Shoa survivor in defense of this wreck of a comparison.

      May I invite you to watch this video of Alex Hershaft. He is probably one of the first, if not the first, persons who made the connection between the Jewish holocaust and what he himself calls the animal holocaust. In this talk he talks about his experience in the Warschau ghetto, his family in Treblinka and his later experience with slaughterhouses. Drawing quite a few parallels between the two.
