Documents show industry intends to go ‘full force’ in arguing meat is beneficial to the environment at climate summit

This fucking sucks, the Great Satan needs to be forced to embrace the Great Seitan amerikkkavegan-seitan

(so does the rest of the first world but Great Satan/Seitan was funnier)

      yea this is one case where you/we (vegans) are obligated to do a bit. maybe not so far as to kill individual animals but definitely work to reduce their reproduction and therefore future population

        Didn’t the mass euthanasia of muscrats in Finland due to covid basically kill the industry overnight?

        Unless we’re going to somehow re-home millions of chattel animals, or release them to the wild where they’ll terrorize the local ecosystem I don’t really know that the solution is.

        Maybe maintain the farm until they die? But if it’s a battery farm then that’s not a way to live.

            Yeah, which was kinda why I mentioned the effect that mass euthanasia had on the fur industry. The death machines have a lot of momentum, and that works both ways. They’re really hard to start back up if they are stopped.

          Theres 1.5 billion chickens in the United States. It’s hard to imagine.

          E: now that I can type a little more, Just going by the free range guidelines from the usda (generally focused on production instead of quality of life), they would need 345 thousand acres of forage land and half that much in coop space.
