Ah, I misunderstood your intentions. I thought you were against the extermination of all farm animals, who have no way of surviving outside of, you know, farms.
Apply this logic to human slaves producing transplant organs. If we didn't create them, then they'd never exist; so we are actually doing them a favour by creating them and forcing them to serve us.
It's just cope after cope after cope. I've been there. They are all trying to lead you away from the same place, but that's the place you have to go if you want to be a person who does not commit cruelty and violence against vulnerable individuals.
Right. So, in this scenario, you have billions of humans that you'll just kill and then say "it's for their own good"?
Not so much "exterminating" but more so liberating. Get rid of farm animals but set them free to farms to just chill and live their lives. I'm not sure if this concept exists outside Germany, probably, but we have so-called "Lebenshofe" here - literally translated to "life farm" where former farm animals are rescued to and can find shelter and love. That's the ideal 💚
Yeah, that's exactly what I was talking about, mate.
Enforce free-range, but just don't let the food they're producing and not utilising go to waste.
No, that's where you misunderstood me. Let them be animals and not products to be exploited
So, the cow milk and chicken eggs all just go to waste for a higher ideal?
Yes, that's literally what I've been arguing with you about here for the past few days
Yeah, so here's where your ignorance shows.
Chickens might do fine, I'll give you that. Although, probably not, their population would skyrocket and they'd starve to death. Not a great way to go.
Cows? They NEED TO be milked, or they'll die in incredible pain.
Etc., etc.
On top of that: how exactly literally wasting food helping anyone or anything....?
