          There’s a massive difference of plants growing in fields and being cut down to animals being kept in their own shit where they can’t even turn around for years.

          Oh and you know what kills more plants? It being grown for animal feed.

            1. yeah, plants can’t run or cry.
            2. i’m not tryna save anything. Fuck this planet. Stop trying to moralize killing to eat, it’s a fraught endeavour. Precisely the sort of first error that lets you generalize to inter human exploitation.

              Then fuck right off these discussions. That’s right, you heard me. If you hate this planet so much then seek help or at least don’t get in the way of people who care.

            So if they’re kept in an open field with plenty of space to roam about it’s fine right?

        Depends on how you view the food chain. If you’re against eating mean for environmental reasons, carnivores are much more unethical then eating herbivores.

        I’ve never understood the idea of farming carnivores for meat because of how much more costly the process must be.

          Dogs can live fine on a vegetarian diet, and pigs will happily eat meat or predate. They’re both highly social omnivores. Most likely, they get the same kind of food when farmed, too.

          The comparison gets more difficult to prove with cows, and a lot more difficult for chickens. But, a pig is almost the same animal ecologically, and people have pet pigs that live in their house just like a dog.
