The largest solar grazing project in the U.S. will reduce mowing costs and emissions — and make for some happy sheep.
I guess I am mainly raising the question of if your morals ever involve eating meat if it is killed under your ethical compass or if you consider the eating portion unethical in itself.
Using animals as food is exploitation of them. However, its a bit more complex then just saying its unethical as we live in a world where it is so normalized and a lot of places aren’t practical to be vegan in.
One major honey bee related event every year is the mass migration of hives to pollinate almonds. Do exploitation of animals such as this affect your morals. If honey is considered a exploitation of honey bees I would also consider pollination another by-product of honey bee exploitation.
Do exploitation of animals such as this affect your morals.
Yes. I think that it is exploitation to use honeybees to pollinate crops. However, its way less harmful to animals then the meat, dairy, and egg industries. Therefore it isn’t really worth trying to fight against right now. If anything its a necessary evil now that honeybees are eating into native bee populations, reducing the amount of native bees able to pollinate.
So you won’t eat honey but will eat almonds, even though both are exploiting honey bees? Is because of it being a direct product vs a indirect product of honeybees. Is an in between layer where you draw your line?
