I always wonder what vegans think is going to happen to all the pigs, cows, and chickens if people stop eating meat?
not the person you replied to, but it mostly would for me. Factory farms are among the closest things to hell on earth.
I eat meat, but try to limit it to once a week and have replaced milk with oat and soy in a lot of places. I still love cheese but it does give me conflict when I spend even a second thinking about what it takes to actually get cheese. (Cows dont lactate without pregnancy). That said, my own personal philosophy is that we have likely evolved to consume animal products so I cant dismiss it fully, just reduce my own consumption. ~75% of all agricultural land is used to feed livestock, yet livestock produces only 18% of the world's calories and 37% of its protein, which just seems insanity to me.
factory farms would stop breeding animals to kill them? Did you think you had an argument here?
