Gamification Dev Log 1: Research on Animal Rights

For my research I studied Animal Rights. And brother this is absolutely abysmal. Lab testing has been going crazy for the past couple years, in 1980s, the government would literally kidnap other people's dogs to cut then open and run tests. They would implant human brain cells into other monkeys and would create literal cross species and give them manual parkinsons. However factory farms, that's on another level. Thousands of animals essentially vaccum packed into little boxes, they are treated like machines just to lay eggs and what not. Animals are literally not treated like another living creature. Sure they aren't human but where is the seperation between how we are treating a cow and a chicken vs a dog? I understand that these animals lack humanity but they are also alive non the less, if humans were being treated like this it would be considered a violation of the Geneva Conventions. I feel that is reason enough to want change. The biggest thing that is stopping change is a lack of education on this topic. The images I have seen are beyond disturbing and I believe most people should be exposed to this content instead of being left in the dark.
