As a vegan would you be able to end the life on an animal which could have a healthy life being kept indoors and farmed properly?
So as a vegan it is preferable to you to see a species become extinct rather than have them farmed?
As you say there would be no profit in livestock, so if by some miracle he remained in business he would shoot his stock and replant his fields in vegan friendly crops to continue making a living.
If you think the land would just return to its original state then you are deluded.
Anyway we have digressed a little, I dont think you have answered the part about why a vegan would want to eat a replica of bacon?
Just have a bacon sandwich, its lovely, I dont discriminate I will take a slice of vegan lettuce and tomato on my cheeseburger.
Yes i do think they would have a happier life in a fields in following a sudden swing to veganism. They certainly do not have a happy life now.
Livestock are not species, they are breeds, they have been defined by their status as commodities. And yes I do think the animals will go extinct. If you think I should be horrified by that then I am not type of person. Death comes to us all, it is how we get there that matters. I deplore cruelty, cruelty is a construct made by mankind, all else is just the Cycle of Life. Keeping animals would perpeptuate cruelty, not stop it.
Tell me why the land would not return to the natural state if we do not keep animals on it? Do you really think the farmers would keep them as fields for thelove of fields? lol
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
