there is no reason to believe this person abuses animals. don’t make spurious accusations.

the comments literally say I’m not anitvegan.

I think we have different values

there is no higher benefit to any living things than to pass it’s generic material to a new generation. sterilization is not in their interest, but AI is.

there is no reason to think that would prevent all future pandemics.

artificial insemination is a veterinary procedure. I don’t care to watch videos of live births or spaying and neutering, but that doesn’t make them bad.

it’s not cruelty. the suffering isn’t the intention, it’s just incidental.

I’m not antivegan, and implying you have some secret evidence to the contrary is both false and bullying.

it’s called animal husbandry

science doesn’t make moral judgement. killing can’t be scientifically “bad”

fields used to grow grass could be used either for other (human-edible) crops

some. I doubt that’s true for most grasslands.

from the abstract

We then analysed the potential of replacing food-competing feedstuff—here cereals, whole fish, vegetable oils and pulses that account for 15% of total feed use—with food system by-products and residues.

a distinct minority of animal feed competes with human food

they were selectively bred to provide milk for us.

the only thing dairy milk is “meant” for is “whatever the farmer wants”. it could meant to drink or sell or give to the calves.

you are stretching definitions to meaninglessness. no one likes torture.

where are the animals it prevented from dying?

and the feed grown “for animals” is largely a byproduct of plants grown for people. it’s incredibly dishonest.

this is (at least partially) based on poore-nemecek. it’s bad science gaining entrenchment.
