            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?

                  Those are all policy problems in agriculture (usually with capitalism at the root of the policy). Would fixing those take a reduction of meat eating? Probably. Would it require complete veganism? Hell no.
