it’s better to never have existed in the first place than to be born into the life of the average livestock

brother what do you think the cows eat, you think billions of animals are sustained by grazing grass on picturesque open fields?

besides, veganism by definition is an ethical philosophy and excludes the harming of animals so slaughter is out of the question (as is exploiting them for further products)

stupid dunks aside, everyone going vegan literally the exact same time is an interesting thought experiment

there’s a fucktonne of livestock alive right now that a fully veganised society would have duty of care for, right? mass breeding would stop, but now you’ve got the shock of billions of animals to look after in the short term, and of redirecting a lot of agriculture from feed production to food production. could have some fun coming up with the logistics of that

btw between feral animals and sanctuaries they wouldn’t actually go extinct (a better fate than what they currently have!)
