The pandemic has thrown into high relief some of the longstanding issues surrounding working conditions in meatpacking facilities. John Oliver explains why g...
Because we've eliminated all their predators, outside of places with wolves (and maybe a few places with enough mtn lions), deer have a cyclical population, they'll starve if the population isn't culled.
The end result is most municipalities will pay outside companies to shoot deer, who might even waste the meat if they can't issue enough tags.
Venison is ethical for the same reason meat that will otherwise go to waste is ethical, correct?
Not that I can feed my cat entirely venison, she needs a varied diet.
Id actually be curious to hear how a lot of vegans feel about sustainable hunting and fishing in general.
Lionfish and Asian Carp, for example, are causing havoc as an invasive species and eating them is actually a good thing environmentally speaking. Deer as well (maybe?) to a certain extent but also things like iguana in florida.
Specifically asking about non-native invasive species.
Wait, are iguana are invasive? But they're so cool, I don't have the heart to kill them.
When I lived there, and it was cold enough that they stopped moving I used to put them in tubs of warm water until they scampered back into the mangroves.
Yeahhhh the green iguana are invasive, they mess up the habitats of some endangered species and cause general infrastructural damage.
They call them chicken of the trees there and have been known to spontaneously go into hibernation during cold snaps and just fall from the canopy like lizard rain
Iguanas pose the same problems as outdoor cats, theyre a predator/competitor of native bird species IIRC. Florida is just a hot fucking mess of ecology.
I have vegan friends that will only dumpster dive feed their cats. I think this is the only ethical way to have a cat.

The deer thing was always iffy to me because they are a native species. Gonna go through all this, thanks for taking the time.
