African Americans with a history of slavery become insulted when exploited and abused animals are compared to slaves. Jews whose family experienced the Holocaust are outraged when factory farms are compared to death camps. Women, who point to a long history of sexist oppression, resent it when the forced artificial insemination of cows is referred…
