> look back in horror at how we enslaved animals out of their natural habitats
Somehow, vegan-inclined folks never seem to factor in the mass-genocide of domestic breeds that is necessary to achieve their particular utopia. We're talking 1.5 billion pets, 5 billion livestock, and 28 billion poultry - none of which are remotely able to survive on their own in the wild.
Wait... do you really think that if everyone goes vegan these animals will get killed, but if everyone eats them they won't?
You are aware that all of these livestock animals didn't exist a few months to years ago? And that we go through these animals every couple months-years?
Everyone going vegan would just mean we'd stop repleneshing them.
I detest the vegan movement. I'm not an animal lover. Pets are unsanitary nuisances. Robots are better. We don't need to commit a genocide against domestic pets for the transition. Just breed less.
