most vegans don't know that industrial farming causes a crapload
of animal deaths... sometimes.. supposely, 25 times more animals
are killed per kilogram of usable plant protein... and it gets
worse.. monoculture in farming has wiped out so much local wildlife
and flora that it is considered worse than letting
cows/goats/sheep/local species go eat grass in the fields...
and in harvesting and ploughing, small animals like field mice,
moles, birds and other little critters are usually smashed by the
plough, or whole communities are reduced to a red mist by the
harvesters...
so do think about it...
I've read about that and shared it, but it isn't going to
convert anyone straight away. To me the real problem lies with the
way food is grown and distributed. We no longer grow and rear for
sustinance but to profit from a small percentage of the
world's population (and even the farmers).
Vegans charge that we devote too much farmland to growing feed
for animals, when it isn't part of their natural diet and
shou;d've never been the case.
