this is a decent argument if the animals are living good lives and are comfortable and happy. animals living nightmarish lives in factory farms were probably better off not existing at all because i can't imagine they ever really experienced much of anything pleasant.

True, but you can find stores and butchers selling ethically raised meat in much of the world. There's a cost premium, but if you make a decent income it is not that much of a stretch (at least in Texas where I live).
Plus if you truly feel strongly for this, you can also hunt for your meat. One buck can net you enough food to feed a family for months and fishing is always an option.
As much as I'd love to stop factory farming, telling every poor person that their staple protein option went from cheap chicken and cheap eggs to exclusively expensive eggs probably isn't viable. But society is getting wealthier and despite what overly online dorks say living standards are still generally rising so maybe we will be able to ditch factory farms within my lifetime

Good. This also applies to plants. The plants that grows in the greenhouse are about as bland as store bought while one in the open they tastes like heaven. All the heat, cold, moisture, sun shine, weather, bug and soil stresses the fuck out of plants and they cope and prepare with secretion of many acid, pigments and other shit.

Sounds like you need to go vegan, anon. But it doesn't mean that what you imagine is true. So, why are you on this forum?? Shouldn't you be shilling over at PETA or greenpeace places? You have very extreme views. It's not normal.

I'm not giving up meat, personally. I weekly and daily count my consumption of vitamin K and I'm not going to increase protein from veggie, personally, that'd be like eliminating most of my current diet which would be too much work. The issue with veganism is it consumes too much of your life, thinking, planning, creating menus and meals. It's literally the diet of the obsessive-compulsive types. It should be added to the DSM, just like picky eaters was added. I suggest meds.

Or maybe you'd just be trespassing on someone else's private and secure property, maybe to taint and contaminate their food industry products, introduce pathogens on your feet and clothes or intentionally poison the animal food supplies, or mess with their business model, durr. People break the law all the time when they use their ideals to justify it. What gives you the right to be there without being an employee worker. None. Your inability to see the entire picture should be punishable by law.

In my state, there are certainly egg chickens that are not free range, nor would I want them outside in the weather, the mud, and dubious conditions and ridiculous heat and humidity. Fans will blow around excrement. Free range would mean a greater need for antibiotics and sanitation changes, and I would not need to be introducing the risks of their fights and damages to each other, like happens when territories and roosters get involved. Animal welfare activists don't live in reality to see a whole picture. Get your own chicken coop is the answer, and then euthenize the unwanted chicks as the birds live and die in their short life cycles. Very short. It's neither feasible nor economical, but it's fine for occasional slaughter, and gifting.

The other animal farming is very light, maybe 6% of the overall state, which is nearly entirely agriculture. You'll see nearly all cattle have literal acres to graze but instead just park themselves near water and under trees to stay cool. They'll share land with agriculture.

I went vegan. My motivation for this is that I feel I have a duty to be respectful to life. I find consequentialist arguments for animal rights to often be a mere extension of self-interest and liberal-utilitarian utility maxing.

Even most herbivores are obligate meat eaters though, you'd have to kill them as well. Any plants that block out sunlight also kill smaller plants that want to grow, so you'd have to eliminate trees, bushes, grasses, etc. Even the short plants crowd out seeds in terms of nutrients and water, though, so we'll just have to eliminate all plants. Fungi kill other fungi and bacteria, so they have to go. Most bacteria also absorb other bacteria, so the only remaining organism would be phytoplankton

You know what I hate? The state of ignorance we've placed ourselves in.
People are watching too many Disney-Pixar movies and are attaching human attributes to animals. And then I get into conversations like this:
>do you know where your meat comes from?
Yes.
>do you know they are housed in factory farms and are suffering?
Not always.
>would you kill an animal yourself?
Already have.

And then they lose their shit. Yes, I've been to my grandma's farm and we killed a few animals to eat. As people have done so for millennia. Why are we so disconnected from the fact that we kill animals on a daily basis? Whether through pesticides, destruction of their home environment, by virtue of research or medicine, etc.? No one is immune to this.
The truth is, vegans couldn't care less about the environment. If they come from a western nation, they're already consuming their way 100x more into co2 emissions than any 3rd worlder. It's just that they can't admit one single thing to themselves: "I think killing animals is icky". Just admit you're a little bitch and be done with it.

Ancient Greece was the birthplace of Western vegetarianism, animals were often sacred symbols in Egypt, Greece and Rome and killing them required a sacrifice. (The Illiad describes Agamemnon sacrificing a bull to Zeus and then eating it with his entourage, implying eating beef wasn't common even for kings and was reserved for special occasions.) Meanwhile the Old Testament fetishizes mass slaughter of animals and took the spiritual nature and normalized testing animals as unthinking products meant to serve humans, devoid of any religious connotations. Factory farms would be impossible without Jewish spirituality. It's why factory farms are most common in the Protestant Anglosphere.

Every animal that's ever lived has experienced sadness, wonder, happiness, and fear right before they were killed by the food chain.
So profound.

A thread died for this btw.

The vast majority of animals aren't capable of experiencing any of that

Chickens are brutal as fuck, they kill each other by pecking the head of the other until it dies.
Pigs eat baby animals.
Ducks shit so much it ruins the area.

They deserve their deaths.
Also chickens have lost so much braincells from stock breeding they are a literally nearly braindead.

This is just a bare assertion. Prove that animals are conscious โ€” that they have any experiences at all. You can't. Not that I'm staking out the opposite position confidently, either. It's a difficult issue. On my more cynical days, I even doubt that humans who fail the breakfast test have internal experiences.
