I suppose if those plant-based diets were based on peer-reviewed scientific studies and shown to cause no nutritional, physical, or mental harm to the animals then it wouldn’t be animal abuse. But I haven’t seen the threads so I’m assuming that wasn’t the case.
I hate Tesla as much as the next guy, but this article lacks any context and makes some assumptions about malicious intent. Are these the only articles removed, or did they purge a bunch of articles from two decades ago? Maybe these articles were stored in a legacy database and someone finally decided to clean it up, then the media is twisting it into “they’re changing history!”
(Disclaimer: I’m speculating heavily here given my lack of context, so these may very well have been removed on purpose due to their content)
