Dark_Lord_2008 said: Meat and dairy industries are unsustainable, more land is needed to produce animals bred to be inhumanely treated and slaughtered and turned into human food products. The majority of the world in third world countries, animals continue to be treated in humanely, tortured before being killed for human consumption. In first world countries there has been a huge cover up of cruel treatment of animals for human food consumption. Far less land is needed to produce vegetables, fruits and grains that require less energy to produce and cheaper for consumers. Many humans around the world have allergies to dairy and other animal products like fish, eggs, chicken, pork, etc. It is only people in the Western world, where people have adapted to consuming dairy. There is no need for dairy in a normal diet, milk is for babies. Protesting is the only way to get attention to issues, build support, influence others to join the cause and force the government to implement change now! |
The land thing is a myth. It is where you farm that makes the difference. There was an article about farmers who moved from NSW to TAS because of the climate conditions. They said in Tasmania they have 1/4 the land that they had in NSW to raise the some amount of cattle. The main reason for that is because outback NSW gets dry so they need more land as grass grows slower, or they had to subsidies with hay. In tas, the grass grows quick and is generally a green state for most the year. Then again, outback NSW and QLD? who would live there anyway? are we really wasting land that is in such harsh conditions?
Protesting does not raise attention to the issue only in a good way, it also makes meat eaters say fuck you, i am going to consume more. They should be pushing for laws that penalise poor animal practices to ensure cruelty does not happen.
If half these Vegan protestors were serious, they wouldn't be wearing leather products or stealing animals and placing them in cars with leather seats whilst live streaming that they fighting the good fight.
