I’m not even a vegan or veggie and I think this is a ridiculous thing to write.
Why?
And I think it was comments from PETA that I’d seen, rather than random vegans/vegetarians who were upset. I don’t read newspapers, just odd newspaper features that aggregate on Flipboard, so it’s quite possible some context had been missed.
But I still ask the same question: if, as vegans wish, everyone were to forgo meat and turn vegan/vegetarian, what does happen to all the livestock? Serious question, because nobody would continue to look after huge numbers of animals where there’s no financial compensation, i.e. being sold for food, or do they go for slaughter, and then what?
I honestly don’t think it’s ridiculous to ask this question in the context of the likes of PETA, who are pretty much against any animal being used by humans in any way, even as pets, let alone bred for food, getting upset by this incident.
