Animals in the wild are not animals that we created. Your argument is irrelevant.

It is actually your argument as to whether or not we “created” them that is irrelevant to the topic of this post.

They exist. The question is what to do with them in the most humane way possible.

Unless your solution is time travel?

I'm not sure if you're purposely trying to miss the point or not. Yes, there are no good options for the bad situation we are now in. My point is that we can avoid situations like this in the future. I hope your snarky comment about time travel made you feel super smart! It made me think so.

Now I see why this article was removed from the front page.

It appears this is one of the topics HN cannot discuss rationally.

I'm curious as to how you propose we avoid this situation in the future.

Stop eating meat.

And world peace?

So it's better for these animals to not exist at all?

By that argument, we shouldn't be creating children either. (I don't necessarily disagree.)
