I am. And for every animal I don’t eat, a billionaire throws a meat party and goes hunting for exotic animals. Again, why are you blaming me? Even if I ate meat every meal I wouldn’t come close in a year to doing as much damage as a billionaire does in a day. So again, stop telling me about it and go after them.
The number of animals killed annually for human consumption is somewhere north of 50 billion. That’s 50 thousand million.
I want the billionaires dead as much as the next guy, but what you’re saying is not the mathematical reality, and while changing economic systems will lead to justice and fairness, it won’t even begin to solve our ecological problems. It might even worsen them, since our goal would be, presumably, to end poverty and increase standards of living.
Or is that not the plan?
I didn’t create the meat industry as it exists. Corporations did. I don’t eat an animal unless it’s local, sustainable fish. Even the poor people eating meat aren’t to blame. We didn’t create this system
