Livestock, when properly managed, is actually better for the environment than crop monocultures.

It is not inherently cruel to kill an animal for food. Sure, factory farming does it all wrong, but lets face it. If killing an animal is animal cruelty then crop agriculture is DEFINITELY cruel to animals. Shit, crop agriculture is a major factor in mass extinctions. Like how palm is wiping out orangutans and Sumatran tigers. There's plenty of others too

Who said I was JUST talking about bees.
I mean, organic food requires animal shit, and rice farming and many vineyards requires ducks for pest control.

Also if an insect central nervous system is less important to you, then does that mean honey is vegan?

Lets face it, SOME people in the industrialized first world can barely scrape by on a vegan diet, but to say we don't need animals?

Idk, maybe instead of virtue signaling you should try to grow your own food. Good luck doing it veganic, it's totally possible but very challenging.
