Reminding people that they are paying for horrific animal abuse doesn't take away from other cases

Not sure how it looks from your instance, but I now have to scroll down past at least 21 comments of the usual omnivore/vegan debates before I can find a comment that's actually about OP's article on macaque torture rings.

It kind of reminds me of how over on reddit any mention of violence against women in the big subs would get drowned in a tide of comments about violence against men.

If it had been part of a contextualised conversation it would have been different.
