According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still – when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

    What if I told you the cessation of animal husbandry will result in greater misery and possible extinction of our current domesticated animals?

    Basically all domesticated animals except pigs cannot thrive in the wild any longer. Releasing them would be a cruelty greater than a quick death in a slaughterhouse.

    When we first domesticated animals we made a sacred pact with them: If they provide for ours, we will care for theirs, and it’s an ancient pact older than any living culture.

      I would say your simply wrong.

      It is not more moral to keep billions of animals alive, and in miserable conditions, solely for the purpose of consuming them, despite any romanticized idea of keeping a completely artificially selected species around.

      And also, that there isn’t a world where we completely give up meat eating anyways, and even less of a world where we let them go extinct.
