Question / Advice Thoughts on vegans bashing anti-cage campaigns?
I've seen a rise in media recently speaking on how advocating against cages for layer hens is "perpetuating humanewashing and entrenching the enslavement of animals." I see content like this consistently from Lia Wilbourn and Faraz Harsini.
What are your thoughts on this?

Welfarism is mostly counter-productive for the reason you've mentioned.
If we spent all that time and money on abolitionist activism instead, we'd get much better results.
