This is a normal post It's a particular kind of hypocrisy that really twists my tits.
Never mind how that pint of milk got onto the table, or where the chicken in your KFC Fat Fucket Bucket originated. But give an animal a name and start anthropomorphising it and suddenly 'murdering' it is a sin. Out of sight, out of mind, eh?

This is a normal post I think it’s less anthropomorphic, and more confusing livestock with pets.
They kill race horses and cows that break legs. Not much is said about that. What if cats started spreading TB? I’d be conflicted. Less so were it dogs.

This is a normal post My views on Horse Racing, Animal Husbandry and the breeding of Animals to be kept as companions are likely at odds with those of a number of folk on here.
Suffice to say that there would be a lot less legs to break and a lot less animals to euthanise if we didn't feel such need to exploit them in the first place.

This is a normal post Is feeding a cat and letting it come and go as it pleases exploitative?

This is a normal post Nah, I'm totally fine with cats exploiting humans.

This is a normal post Lots of animal rights protesters are also veggie or vegan.
Most of the ones I know are. Those who aren't tend to be for compassionate farming methods.

But yeah, I tend to agree - loving the animals and eating them is bollocks.

This is a normal post we should set all the cows free to wander the streets of britain, hindu style
until they all starve to death, die in traffic accidents, or are taken by gypsies for their illegal cow-fighting rings. then we'd have no more cruelty to cows, because there wouldn't be any

This is a normal post Or we should stop force-breeding cows
By artificial insemination, let their numbers decline to a level they can sustain by their own mating surges.

Some of these breeds wouldn't exist if we didn't intervene.

This is a normal post well, technically cows wouldn't exist, they're a domesticated animal that has been substantially altered from its auroch progenitor
Not sure what you mean by 'sustain', we're quite capable of increasing herd numbers to any level with traditional bull fucking, limited only by space and economics. just takes a bit longer and involves more cracked pelvises for the heifers. Besides, I don't see artificial insemination as the worst indignity inflicted up cows by a long shot. I remember driving past these fucking enormous feedlots in southern california. there must have been near 100,000 cows stretching off into a cowey distance, just dust and manure and not a tree or blade of grass in sight. still, yours is a pragmatic response to a question that often stumps the more glassy-eyed animal welfare advocates

This is a normal post Free roaming herds would be better for everyone
And the feedstock thing is fucking horrifying to see. I drove through Kansas some years back, and we soon learned to recycle the aircon to avoid the rank stench whenever we saw the silos on the horizon.
Miles and miles of natural prairie all turned into wheat fields, and a million natural grazers all penned up in their own shit and piss.

This is a normal post Free roaming herds would be excellent for the soil, excellent for biodiversity,
and excellent for controlling vehicle traffic, and keeping the number of cars and drivers down to something more sustainable. This is assuming by free roaming you mean free to leave their prison fields.

Also we should reintroduce wild boars, lynxes, wolves and brown bears for similar reasons.

This is a normal post Can't tell if you're joking
But rewilding is one of the most carbon capturey things we could do.

And fighting off predators makes you look cool.

This is a normal post I'm only half joking, really.
Reducing all roads to single lanes (or 1 lane going one way and 1 going the other) is something I strongly believe in too. We need to cull drivers.

This is a normal post I've always felt this way.
But fuck me, the 1st couple of weeks of the first lockdown really drove home (spang) just how much more peaceful the world feels when there aren't cunts needlessly driving everywhere.

This is a normal post It was nice for a while yeah.
I noticed a number of pretty bad effects to the local wildlife though. I think the disruption to the feeding habits of our scavengers caused a bit of a domino effect... I think foxes, rats and pigeons started to compete for food with surrounding forest, farm and scrubland critters.

I noticed a dramatic drop in the numbers of hedgehogs, stag beetles, lesser stag beetles, and dragonfly. Also I've not seen a common cockchafer since then.

The hedgehogs are hanging on, but I see one or two per week, when before I'd see one or two groups of 3-5 per day. I saw one or two big dragonfly this year, but none of the smaller blue/azure damselfly for two years. There used to be thousands of them.

This is a normal post I'm reminded of the ludicrous headlines around the foot and mouth cull.
It devastated peoples livelihoods and looked/smelt awful, but no more cruelty than normal.
