Everyone is telling me that im a monster for killing livestock to gain tasty food, and maybe they are right.
If techinacly i can survive eating vegies, fruits and shit like that why should i be eating animals?, they are telling me that all the ``exclusive`` proteins that meat gives can be found in other places, i dont know if its true but holy fuck they are making me question my livestyle.

Billions of infants have been raised on soy formula, the stage of life with the strictest nutrient requirements ... so obviously we can replace every animal sourced nutrient.

>> No.13338716

We’ve been over this. Mechanical planting and harvesting kills between twenty and thirty thousand small mammals per acre, every year. These animals are not instantly killed with a captive bolt gun, but they are crushed to death in their shallow burrows or ripped to shreds by whirling blades. Their atomized gore ends up permeating every single pulse, grain, bit of rice you eat. Unless you believe that somehow a cow’s life is worth more than a vole’s or a rat’s, which is totally stupid thinking as I’m sure you agree, you’re causing more suffering and animal death than if you exclusively ate beef, where you could easily kill only one cow per person per year.

It’s not the meat industry that kills the most animals per year. It’s big grain and soy.

No, only a sick freak of a vegan would eat grains and pulses and beans. It’s absolutely cruel! This is why, as an actually ethical vegan and not just a slave to big grain, you shouldn’t eat mechanically harvested crops of any kind. Imagine this little animals getting crushed, mangled, their guts spurting out in wormlike coils as they are crushed, entire families of them! Tiny little baby bunnies and voles, their eyes just opened for the first time, and the only thing they EVER saw was their poor mommy’s skull getting smashed and her brains coming out, right before that soy harvester kills them too.

Vegan people are sick freaks and they’re in a Satanic death cult - lying and saying they’re saving the planet when their soybean hunger is deforesting the Amazon and they deal much more death than a strict carnivore. All the while lying to themselves and everybody else.

Veganism is positively Satanic unless you do it like the Jain.

>> No.13338742

unless you're eating nothing but meat constantly there is no benefit from reducing the amount of meat you eat, a varied diet is best despite what fad diets tell you.
and as far as morality goes, fact is, those animals being farmed only exist because we are creating them for consumption.
we're not abducting innocent cows with futures from their villages and torturing them, we're growing them in the same way we grow plants.

>The effects of corn and wheat harvest on abundance, movement, disappearance, sex ratio and age structure of Akodon azarae were studied in cropfield–border systems. Sampling occurred both before and after harvest, in crops, in their weedy margins (borders) and in surrounding areas. The abundance of A. azarae decreased in fields between before and after harvest and increased along borders. Rodents moved among habitat patches, movement being higher as a consequence of harvest. There was no difference among habitats in terms of disappearance and sex ratio but changes occurred in age structure because of harvest. In response to harvest A. azarae was able to move from crops to borders, decreasing the mortality effects. The ability to respond to habitat changes allows A. azarae to maximize fitness in periodically disturbed habitats.
tl;dr mice don't just sit there and let themselves get murdered by grain harvesters. They, believe it or not, MOVE to safer locations. Population of rodents decreases in the harvested area and increases along the borders of that area, resulting in a net population without significant change.

Not to mention animals have to eat plants one way or another, and those need to be harvested too. Except the cows need to eat between 7-15 lbs of plants to grow 1lb (depending on the plant matter used as feed), meaning many times more harvesting deaths.

>>13339194
the difference is the types of fodder used, it's far more sustainable to grow hay for cattle than it is to grow most vegetables
soybeans have their own page on WWF's site because they are hilariously unsustainable even with all the research on improvements https://www.worldwildlife.org/industries/soy
even if you try to make the argument about corn, corn is hilariously efficient fodder, and continue to become more and more efficient.
cattle can eat the leaves and the stalks of corn in addition to being finished with the corn itself, which can be stored for massive amounts of time dried, leading to no spoilage or waste.
the remaining stalks are even be left in the fields to provide cattle with easy grazing when the snow hits
when you consider that the cattle produce fertilizer to replenish these fields as well as others, it's easy to say that veganism is dangerous on large scale, we rely on the meat industry to produce all those 'organic' crops vegans are all over

Not the point I was making. You gotta harvest that corn too. The original argument was an appreal to futility at best.

As for the environmental aspect, I'd suggest looking into this from a more critical aspect rather than just accepting what the industry says. Look up stuff like groundwater depletion, topsoil erosion, overgrazing and pasture overuse, eutrophication, methane emissions, deforrestation, etc. These are not radical or fringe views anymore and there's a reason most climate science experts are leaning towards vegan diets rather than declaring them "dangerous", and that reason is that pretty much every single think you said (except for efficiency of corn) was false. Now accusse the experts of being part of a jewish conspiracy and be done with it, I'm off to bed.

Not taking the chance.

So, didn't mean to come off as lazy, but if you actually want to learn these things, I suggested some topics to research. Google each followed by "animal agriculture" and look for credible sources of information. "Credible" means "supported by most of the science", btw, and not "what I want to believe" or "what the industry and their research says". Or you can just call strangers "retard" on the internet and declare victory whilst remaining ignorant, that honestly works too since few people are ever going to bother calling you out on it and everyone loves their bacon and steak too much to bother questioning animal ag orthodoxy. Even climate scientists get dismissed by most people so it's not like I expect anyone to give a crap about 4chan posts.
