Probably. In some situations where there are no predators and you have semi-wild herbivores roam (usually goats, they are the least picky eaters) to eat forest fuel to prevent forest fires, it might be an ecological solution. But otherwise, yeah, red meat is something to reduce, not sure if this will be enough.
Not exactly goats, but kinda.
The same thing applies to roe deer in most of Europe. It has to be culled due to a lack of natural predators. They would eat everything, ruin the ecology and then be on the roads increasing crashes and human deaths.
And can’t really introduce wolf populations into populated European zones which haven’t had proper predators for ages.
I’m against industrial meat farms, but not eating meat as a concept. There’s just no need for the type of animal torturing powerfarming that is so common in, like, the US. (Watch Clarkson’s farm for instance to see British farming.)
Industrial meat farms need to go, yes. Oddly, it is much more humane to completely automate slaughterhouses as long as regulations prevent cutting corners in designing systems or using “cheaper” (which I doubt actually is) methods. The process is like a purposefully-lethal lobotomy, which sounds awful but it means the death is quick and 100% painless for the poor animal.
That, and it has been shown through actual medical studies AND an actual child abuse case in the US that children cannot receive enough protien to live/grow only from soy and/or beans; you will starve a child if you do not feed them meat (assuming they’ve begun eating solids).
If there’s anything else to say, I do not condone eating veal or lamb. Seriously, it’s a baby animal. Just don’t.
Well, it’s not the slaughtering part that really bugs me.
Is that the animals live in super small spaces, anxious 100% of their lives.
I’m not as bothered by eating an animal that has been free for all it’s life and had the unfortunate pleasure of being the one culled, but I do mind eating a cow that’s been powerraped and milked for 5 years until exhaustion and then put to slaughter. Just tastes worse to begin with.
Same with lamb. I tried it once, but I’m pretty sure I could just taste the cruelty through and I’ve not had any since. Although it might be mutton shares the same taste but I’m not too bothered to find out as being allergic to cruelty sounds better than not enjoying mutton.
That’s true. Putting a cow in a cage it’s whole life is just cruel, I don’t know who’s doing it but it needs to stop if it is.
As for “if”, I’m not a denier, just subtly geographically separated. I’m pretty sure we don’t allow caging cows for years in Canada, but I might be wrong. If I am, count me an ally in making it stop.
