Many animal people, including some who identify themselves as abolitionists, think that the issue is hurting animals. That is problematic because it feeds into the idea that the issue is treatment is not use. Any use of animals, including uses that do not hurt them, involve *harming* them. We need to be clear: it does not matter how humanely animals are treated, animal use harms animals and is unjust. Sure, more suffering is worse than less, but any use of animals, including uses that involve killing that is relatively painless, is wrong.
