did you try that? I know lots of folks have, and yet this is still happening.
there's probably a more effective method
well this one isn't working.
We could make eating animal meat illegal. Just like we did with cannibalism.
Are you implying you would not allow this great idea?
Yes, I will personally try to make all abuse illegal. Are you insinuating that some abuse should be legal so long as the victim is in a certain class?
did you read the article?
You dont need veganism to stop factory farms... this is a pure captialism problem.
Factory farms produce the overwhelming majority of all animal products because the only way to deliver those to a substantial amount of people is to industrialize the process. It is incredibly difficult to avoid supporting factory farms without being vegan. Even if it were possible, would it somehow suddenly be right to kill another sentient being solely for your own pleasure just because it happened outside of an industrial process?
because the only way to deliver those to a substantial amount of people
at the current consumption from western cultures, sure. But plenty of cultures that maintain a largely plant diet supplemented with animal protein.
And ecosytems absoutely require predators to maintain balance. Unfortunately our ancestors destroyed natural predators in our ecosystems so their livestock wouldn't be harmed. So which is more morally wrong? Hunting to reduce populations or let them starve overpopulated?
Not comfort. It's also full of people that enjoy better food.
Funny how you think being vegan solves everything. You are a huge part of bullshit.
That's not the important takeaway here
You honestly read a story about climate change induced extreme heat waves and thought that dead chickens were the most important part of the story?
Eggs are among the greatest sources of protein in existence...
They're mightily convenient is all I'm getting at.
You do know chickens don't die laying eggs... Right?
Scroll to the top of your screen and try to read the article title again.
Aren't egg laying hens not farmed for meat? Egg farms don't really sell them for meat, they live to an age where they don't lay eggs anymore and the meat is too tough for consumer taste.
Chicken for poultry are a separate farm system because those are grown just for meat.
Both have their flaws but one does not equal another
because of severely fucked up pecking orders
Wait, I didn't know about this. Do you mean some bully hens prevent certain others from being able to go outside? Do you have a link to an article about this?
Crap. Hmm...
I love how the fuck cars religious zelots take over single threads in Lemmy like the plaque. This time its vegans.
Every time somebody peddles a simple solution to a complex problem you are being delusional.
Climate change is certainly a complex problem, and switching to a majority plant based diet is certainly a facet of a potential solution to reducing climate emissions. That mainly is about reducing the number of cows. That's not veganism though.
Factory farming with cut throat (he he) margins like in this case is certainly a problem. The problem is a race to the bottom in price and a facet of the solution is reducing consumption and stringent regulation. Again thats not a veganism solution.
In both cases it would help, but its an extreme and unhealthy solution nobody wants. Veganism is a personal choice and I respect your choice. Now respect peoples c right to choice and fuck off trying to push your religion on others.
