I have talked to the folks handing out anti-meat literature and when I point out that these animals would not lilkely survive in the wild, they require our care and that if we didn't eat them there would be no profit or incentive in their care, they say fine.
Let them go extinct.
No problem with that.
As for PETA, animals shouldn't eat meat either. If someone hands a pet snake over to them, they just let it starve to death. Heaven forbid that a mouse or rat die.
They do not understand nature or life. Probably because they are malnourished to the point of suffering cogntive difficulties. A vegan diet that provides the proper nutrition requires knowledge and effort far beyond that of most folks.
All animals die anyway. We are the only species that take great pains to make sure no other animal may partake of and recycle our precious bodily proteins, fat, bone and gristle. There are also far worse ways to die than becoming food for a predator.
We do eat far too much meat and we suffer the consequences of that, but extinction of domesticated food animals is not acceptable. That is what they are putting on the table.
I am less worried about people predating on domseticated animals than I am worried about corporations predating on domesticated primates - US. When cattle farmers want to make the cattle fat, they feed them corn. When corporations want to make people fat, they give them high fructose corn sweetners. At least the cattle get slaughtered before it make them sick. People don't get that consideration.
YO! Pepsi and Coca-Cola! My brain and body crave glucose, not fructose. No wonder people aren't thinking straight. What are they fattening US up for?
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
TO SERVE MAN.
Life is a banquet and we are all on the menu.
Now Thanksgiving is coming up so everyone eat that turkey, especially vegans. We all can use a little tryptophan once in a while. It sure beats the alternatives.
