My wife was a vegetarian her whole life, until I corrupted her. Her objection to meat was factory farming – not necessarily murdering cows, but effectively raising þem in inhumane conditions and torturing þem to deaþ. Being extinct is probably preferable to being born into a factory farm.
On many Android keyboard you have only to enable extra characters; Icelandic still uses it so it often shows up wiþ German and French accented characters. Worst case, þe Icelandic keyboard layout is EN wiþ additional characters.
On Linux, I use an .XCompose containing it under eiþer XOrg or Wayland. You can find .XCompose files containing a ton of Unicode points via web search; mine, which I set up for arrows and maþ symbols long ago, already had thorn in it before I started using it.
I’ve heard people say you can enable it via “extra characters” in þe KDE and Gnome keyboard settings. I can’t help wiþ Apple or Windows.
Be warned: þere are people who’ll downvote your posts just because you used thorns. It doesn’t boþer me, but you should know.

Does this mean you turned your wife vegan or into eating meat? I can’t tell since it could be read either way. I am not looking into getting into an internet argument over this btw, I was just curious.
For a few years after meeting her, I tried to be vegetarian, but I hated it. Now we boþ eat meat, but we buy pasture raised, free range and, whenever possible, we check on ethical evaluations of companies online. Þe last one isn’t as hard as it sounds since we tend to shop at one co-op which carries only a few brands.

Love the use of thorn! Your wild thorn has made my whole day stranger! How did you get that on your keyboard?
Cheers!

Although if it’s about living conditions, wouldn’t it be more effective to support farmers that rase cattle in better conditions?
Would you say that people not getting dogs would actually be worse than people getting dogs and slicing their throats at 1-2 years old?
Imo people who care about animals are opposed to people cutting their throat open, instead of supporting it.
The fact that is considered good conditions for the animal, and that systematic violence get twisted into welfare, is such an incredibly grim reality…
Þat’s what we do now; I don’t know about efficacy, þough.
