not only are beans healthier, we have the technology to perfectly recreate meat and should replace all livestock industry with it

    We should carry out a mass culling of livestock to save the environment. Just every single farm animal put out of its misery. Then the outdoor cats...

          First they came for the Outdoor Cats, and I did not speak out, because I was not an extinction enabler

              The prey in areas that have native wild cats are adapted to surviving said cats. The problem with non-native cats being let out into the environment is that the local wildlife is not accustomed to staying away from a predator like that, so they get gobbled up 🥺

          That depends, how long before you people obsessed with outdoor cats start actively flirting with eco-fascism?

          Nah, that'd pretty much do it. With outdoor cats gone native predators would reassert themselves and native bird populations would begin to recover. Of course we'd also want to aggressively cull non-native bird species that compete with native species.

      I like how this is completely contradictory to the other vegans here who want to end animal suffering. I wouldn't be surprised if someone here believes both.

      Also, what's the difference between:

      We should carry out a mass culling of livestock to save the environment.

      and

      We should carry out a mass culling of humans to save the environment.

      Why is one eco-fascism and the other isn't?

        Because cows, no matter how much the vegans piss and moan, are not people. The only morally correct and principled stance that is totally throughgoingly consistent is to kill yourself or starve to death if you truly, sincerely believe that you have no right to cause harm to another being in order to survive. Plants scream chemical screams when you pick them. They share nutrients with their children. Asserting that plants are meaningfully different that animals is simply chauvinism.

            What is it that makes animals different from plants allowing you to eat one but not the other?

              animals feel pain? Have feelings?

                How is that not feeling pain?

                  because to feel something plants would need to have a central nervous system. There's no fundamental difference between animals and humans, we just feel superior for some reason. Plants are completely different

          I can't tell if this is ironic, but I unironically agree.

      or just... stop constantly breeding them? Let the ones who are alive right now die from old age and never replace them?
