Well I have turned several ppl vegan so I would argue from personal experience that it actually does. If your decision to kill an innocent creature is contingent on vegans being annoying then you never actually cared abt the non-human victims which would be the bigger issue here
Maybe it represents the blood of the animal murdered for the taco https://nationearth.com/
It remains the case that the majority of farmland is for animal agriculture, and grazing only on grass would increase land use not decrease it, as it stands the vast majority of murdered farm animals are fattened up on soy and corn feed. Suggesting that the most environmentally sound thing to do is to just feed them all grass something which we physically don’t have the land for is ridiculous
Theres a reason thats not common, its way more expensive and less efficient in terms of land use, also you might think of grassy fields as being super sustainable but theyre not a natural ecosystem, theyre a monocrop like any other where shrubland or forests have to give way to grazing fields, in the uk where I’m from the majority of our land is dedicated to these kind of fields already and its decimated our natural forests. There is no world in which feeding cows pigs chickens and sheep on grass only including finished feed reduces land use it would increase it. J.poore 2017, a comprehensive metastudy on land use and emissions of the global food sector found that a global transition to plant based diets would lead to a 70% reduction in land use, they looked at thousands upon thousands of farms accross the world yes including “grass fed” farms
First of all, humans are animals, the term you’re looking for is non-human animal. Secondly, grass fed is a myth, theyre fattened up on corn and soy all the same, you should know that the vast majority of deforestation ; the vast majority of monocropping, is done to sustain animal agriculture
Vegans kill the least plants though because of something called trophic energy loss. Most plants are fed to animals you kill.
The actions of wild animals have no bearing on your decision to kill animals, I cannot reason with a lion, I hope I can reason with you
ambiguous_yelptoVegan•[COP28] climate experts on vegan-driven activism: not viable. What about nixing livestock subsidies?English2·2 years agothe more people go vegan the more knowledge on vegan nutrition can diffuse it is therefore the urgent responsibility of those that can learn vegan nutrition and effectively implement it, to share this knowledge and continue to advocate for the health and happiness of all creatures
ambiguous_yelpOPto Damn, that's interesting!@lemmy.ml•10x Speedreading for no effort! (Bionic Reading)2·2 years agoIt seems to take a few moments to generate the new webpage I was expecting it to just literally <b></b> text paragraphs I thought that would be more effiicent
And if that day never comes youll just keep paying for innocent animals to be killed? Theres very little that can excuse slicing the throat of an innocent being
at the end of the day no matter what vegans do our existence is a threat to the cognitive dissonance of meat eaters, I have two options: I can be so nonchalant that it seems like I’m actually ok with people killing animals needlesly and therefore theres no reason to question their beliefs or I can actually put a bit of passion into my defense of animals and risk people like you for some reason getting annoyed that my advocacy isnt effective? (Like if you are against veganism why correct me while im making a mistake right clearly theres something else going on here psychologically why you feel the need to correct me) Meanwhile lots of people actually do change their mind on veganism from a no nonsense approach see people like joey carbstrong and earthling ed for examples of how that can be done well
Why would we do that when we can eat plants its cheaper healthier doesnt kill an innocent animal and is better for the environment
most vegan cuisine has nothing to do with fake meat thats only been a thing for a couple of decades at most
It is a cyclical thing both consumers and producers are responsible in different ways in most cases the use of plastic in packaging is producers fault for example but eating animal products is a choice for 99% of people on the planet and going vegan is the single biggest way to reduce your carbon footprint (see joseph poore 2018)
71% of corporations is the new climate denial were at the bargaining stage now: “well the drastic sacrifice were going to have to make doesnt matter because corporations need to do something before I even attempt to start living in line with earths resources”
“Youre going about it all wrong: this method is how you convince people to stop slitting innocent animals throats. I know this method works because it didnt work on me.” fyi if I could snap my fingers and somehow force everyone to leave animals alone I’d do it in a heartbeat, wouldnt you do the same to end all murder?
Please stop killing innocent animals
I mean its murder, I’m not going to weigh which is worse murder or rape theyre just both bad dont do them “but it gives me pleasure” is not an excuse for either murder or rape
yeah hopefully
