this is a thread which is newsworthy, but unfortunately this is going to have to be the first thread we lock because it's:

  • a magnet for people making violent threats that aren't really acceptable and kind of kill the vibe;
  • a thread where half the comments are some ridiculous argument about veganism and whether eating meat is comparable to this;
  • and a thread where just generally, the contributions have been the expected "that's awful!" but like. nothing else besides the ridiculous argument that isn't even really on topic. if you want to debate veganism and its merits or whether it's an apt comparison to circumstances like this, please just make a thread for that in Chat or something. i don't think this is asking too much.
