Fewer mouths to feed obviously.


Meat linked to all 3.



We'd be killing fewer animals.



Less deforestation for grazing and for grain



Fewer cows means less farting, means less methane.

All of this is fairly obvious.
Chasing tail is linked to early death as well but we don’t ban that. If you don’t want meat, don’t eat it. You really have problems. Who are you supporting next month by the way? :drunk:

No it wouldn't. Rocky land unsuitable for crop farming can still be good grazing ground. Can get good feed growing around rocks

What kind of ground do you think cattle grazing in the Snowy Mountains was done on?
At no stage did I say you couldn't graze cattle there. It's just that it's of little worth.

Relationships are good for well being actually.

Yes I choose not to eat meat, and believe it's bad for a number of reasons. I'm not forcing anyone to go without it.

My bad. I know you know what I meant. Now, how about answering the questions?

It's ok, I get that dodging questions is one of the tactics of animal rights zealots.
Your question is a good one, but not anything new for me. The point to it all is not to simply BE a vegan, but to minimize suffering. Therefore pets are rescued, or adopted, rather than bought. Carnivores are fed ethical meat, or fish. As always it's important to be aware of what you're buying and its effects on the environment because there is such an unnatural disconnect between the product and consumer.
