And even worse: 99% of farmed animals in the US are factory farmed.
If you think your animal products were ethically raised - and by ethically I mean “not in a torture factory” which is an extremely low bar - there’s a 99% chance you’re wrong.
Poor animals…living their lives unable to walk or run. Cruelty knows no bounds and we deserve whatever consequences this produces.
Less humans less methane.

ngl that’s a high chance
I just, eugh.
I feel like we’re really privileged as intelligent and emotional creatures, we have the opportunity to be above the natural order and not kill or harm other creatures unnecessarily, but instead we just invented new more traumatic options. Cool.
Even carnivores in the wild don’t tend to kill like we do. It’s risky to get into a fight and takes energy. They usually do it to eat enough calories to survive.
Humans kill for aesthetically pleasing materials, to affirm gender identity, to eat for pleasure (to the extent that it’s detrimental to health and we put effort in to prevent that! Sometimes killing more to produce or test medicines to treat the problems created by the recreational eating we do).
It’s pretty ridiculous however you cut it.
