Most food animals would go extinct if humans stopped raising them for food. A number of food plants too.
A “food animal” … Most of the animal breeds slaughtered for meat were basically genetically modified through selective breeding by humans to be more profitable.
Fast and unhealthy growth of muscle mass, additional rips, laying eggs much more often, etc.
These modification come with a great price the animals have to pay in pain. Most of them can’t live without human help anymore. We made them this way and we are responsible. To keep them in an endless cycle of suffering after we created them like this is probably the pinnacle of cruelness. And all of that just because they have a voice we do not understand or recognise.
Is it vegan to sit on that high horse?
I know why people think vegans do this for some smug reason, but we don’t, I promise you. We just want people to change and stop hurting animals, and the only way to do that is to keep talking about it.
Funny thing is that many of us feel the same way about vegans. We just want them to change and stop getting in our face like street preachers with what we consider to be flawed logic and more flawed ethical philosophy.
And the only way to do that is to keep standing up to vegans the same way we do JWs. It sucks because it’s exhausting and we just want to be left alone.
But the difference between vegans and JWs is that the issue vegans have is real, and we have more than enough evidence for our case. Religion is a personal choice, but actions that harm others are not. You can call it preachy but that’s how things get better.
All these tasty meats and people decide to eat what the food eats.
I love taste.
It’s far easier to slap a chook in the oven and end up with something delicious than what I’ve been able to figure out that’s only plant based.
There’s more than three affordable animals lmao. Even if you count fish as one you still have crawfish, shrimp, fish, beef, chicken, pork, lamb, venison, turkey, etc. This also doesn’t even account for the million ways to prepare the meats
There is even a difference from breed to breed: https://www.elwooddogmeat.com/
