                Brother 60% of all mammals on earth are livestock. 36% are people. 96% of mammals are us and the things we torture. This isn't destroying a wild species existing in an ecosystem, it's ending a human created abomination.

                And they're all gonna die anyway? Like what should take their place? More pigs that live in crates or an expansion of the ecosystem? ( back to what it was like before we fucked it up)

                  lmao extincting a species to save them, because that makes sense.

                  This would likely result in extinction for breeds that can’t mate without intervention

                  I guess that means pandas should just go extinct too?

      Ideally, but the pieces of shit in this thread and in the world say otherwise. They literally cannot care about not lessening harm in the world.

        Lessening harm of other people, yes people care. And that's what Oliver is addressing, the harm to the people.

        Lessening harm of livestock, no. Most people don't give a shit.

      But I think at least things like eggs milk & cheese could still be around. If done locally by communities then it should be a reasonable way to get protein. Heck, even just replace cows milk with goat's to make a smaller footprint.
