    We made an unspoken promise to the animals we domesticated: If you provide for me and my family, I will ensure your line never fades from this world

    It is unethical to abandon that promise, and the extinction of a species may be the single greatest wrong mankind can commit.

    If you compare the health of wild animals to domestically cared for animals, you will obviously see that domesticated animals are healthier and have greater opportunities for enrichment and happiness under human care.

    Yes there are vile humans who torture and keep animals in miserable conditions, and they should pay consequences for their cruelties and greed

    Don’t you dare paint every farmer with that same corporate battery farm brush.

    I am not here to change your stance, I’m here to mitigate the dangerous attitudes your poorly considered stance engenders in others.

      I am not fully going to reply to your statement, because the user below did so very clearly already.

      Just remember, none of these conversations are centered around YOU or your situation. It’s about the planet as a whole.

      Without trying to insult you, it sounds like cognitive dissonance is at play here.

        And I’d like you to quote the place where I said this was ‘my’ situation.

        What a pathetically transparent attempt to slide the conversation.

      Dozens of species go extinct every single day, in large parts due to deforestation for animal agriculture. Acting like keeping a handful of species we eat from extinction is somehow noble is silly by contrast. The concept of a species is a human construct in the first place, individual animals don’t care that their species (which isn’t even natural, we bred them like this) is kept going.

      If you compare the health of wild animals to domestically cared for animals, you will obviously see that domesticated animals are healthier and have greater opportunities for enrichment and happiness under human care.

      It’s not about if those animals live under animal agriculture or in the wild. The animals in the wild already exist, the ones in captivity wouldn’t exist at all, if we didn’t breed them.

      Most animal meat nowadays comes from factory farms. Worldwide it is roughly 90%, in the US it is 99%.
