Earth Day comes and goes every year but nothing seems to ever really change. We are still headed for climate catastrophe, we are still in the midst of a mass extinction, we are still losing our topsoil at an alarming rate. It is time to center food systems, and especially agriculture, in our efforts to More

Plant based foods systems and degrowth are necessary to combat climate change. Failure to recognize this is soft climate denialism based in profit or self interest

    I mean, it sounds like the situation you're describing is really a pet rather than an actual productive farm animal?

    If they're to be slaughtered, it doesn't matter if they have a nice life frolicking in daisies all the time, that can't erase the fundamental violence and exploitation of the relationship. It's like a hipster workplace where they have cool hangout sessions and hammocks in the office. It may be nicer than normal, but it is still exploitation no matter what veneer you put on it, nor is it representative of the actual conditions of most people working under capitalism.

      Not really a difference is there?

      What is considered productive probably doesn't need to be related the scale of the farming.

        Comments, deleted now, but they said they don't know if their neighbor uses the goats for meat or milk, which can sometimes mean they are just literally pets.

          I read the comments, but having had a pack of brush goats, "pets" doesn't mean "not productive".
