What the hell. Who else wants to bet that this shit was written/ inspired by a bunch of cattle farmers that care about nothing more than salvaging whats left of their pathetic industry.
Did you even read this article before you copy/pasted the link? I think anyone with a speck of intelligence would realise that it makes NO SENSE! Of the land used for agriculture over the world, 78% is used to graze livestock. Of course all not of this 78% is suitable for crops, but I think we can agree that a decent percentage is suitable for some variety of crops. Do you realise that a single hectare of land can produce enough grain or potatoes to feed 20 people for a year.. or, enough cow for 1-2 people. I won't mention water usage, erosion, greenhouse gasses etc etc.
Seriously, before we all run off to eat meat in an attempt to save the world, maybe we should consider huge issues such as food wastage, inefficient farming techniques, and modern consumption habits.
I completely agree that current methods of extermination are horrific, and mice are intelligent creatures who suffer greatly. But surely, if money were not the only motivator, there would be more humane methods of pest control. I bet that you, the perfect, enviro conscious, mouse-adoring farmer has never set a mouse trap, or left rat poison out?
I can't even fathom how you're so stupid. Trying to convince a group of vegans that the way to reduce animal cruelty is to eat more animals. Did you expect us to have some kind of life-changing realisation, to suddenly be okay with millions cows being hung upside down to bleed to death, in order to reduce the possibility of deforestation.
So yes, I will continue to 'order the vegetarian meal'.. vegan in fact. I'll look after my veggie garden, eat my tofu, go to animal rights protests and encourage everyone I know to eat less meat too. The percentage of vegetarians in Australia is growing. You're fighting a losing battle.
Maybe stop being such a stupid greedy hypocrite and gtfo? Your arguments have absolutely zero value, and no one likes you here.
