You can just stop breeding them. I have no problem with all domestic animals going extinct. It's hilarious how meat eaters are appalled by that idea but gladly torture and murder animals just to feast on their carcasses.
You understand they breed themselves, right? The same species that were native to the area for millions of years before industrialisation will continue to survive there afterwards, just in much worse conditions and at a much lower population.
You have no problem with animals dying in pain as long as it stops them dying painlessly? Awesome
You really need to educate yourself about the meat and dairy industry. It is quite obvious that you aren’t making a rational or moral decision, but an emotional one. The overwhelming majority of animals in this industry do not breed themselves. It is easy to stop it from happening at all. And what species are you talking about anyway? Farm animals aren’t native anywhere and haven’t lived for a million of years. They were created by humans.
This is getting ridiculous, you are arguing from a place of ignorance. I've raised cheviot sheep for more than twenty years.
All species are native to somewhere, we haven't made species out of nothing. We've bred breeds, for sure.
I'm fascinated by your gormless attempts to explain my own culture to me. The sheep I raise come from flocks dating back to the neolithic. The techniques for raising them have barely changed in that time. The quad bike might raise a few caveman eyebrows but that's about it.
They free roam the moors nine months of the year, field graze for three. I honestly don't care what you think now. You have your own misinformed opinion of what all farming is like and you won't listen to someone who does it any other way.
And you can feed all humans with the eggs, milk and meat of those sheep everywhere on earth? Because the last time I checked we were writing about the ethics of eating meat. And you are trying to build a straw man because you actually do not have any arguments why it is “ethically good” to exploit animals.
