How is it any people cannot put themselves in that place with imagining? Even animals could identify with what would not be desirable. Humans should have the sensibility to know they would not want what the animals being used are put through, we can likewise choose to not have anything to do with that, and we can already find out ourselves that there are ways to be very healthy this way without products from animals. And the same amount of use of resources for it and contribution to damage to environments with loss of species does not need to be continued then. https://healthyaging.emory.edu/could-eating-30-plants-a-week-be-the-answer-to-better-health/
Eating flesh requires factory farming to be viable at a scale large enough for billions of humans. It’s literally impossible for every human that eats chicken flesh to raise their own chickens, this is a non-starter.
I’m not so sure about that.
Almost sounds like industry propaganda to prevent us realising we each could raise our own chickens.
Could convert a wall to be a chicken farm.
‘what if you put a battery farm in your apartment’ top 10 dumbest ideas of all time contender.
Yeah, I suppose you could raise chickens in a confined space where they’d be unhappy and unhealthy.
That’s the same problem with extra steps.
Just stop eating them. It’s way easier and cheaper than becoming a backyard farmer anyway.
I mean maybe but we could make it better allow people to raise birds in their yard for eggs and stuff. People just don’t want to.
But not everyone could actually do it - a lot of people don’t even have yards, or share yard-space with neighbors, or have other animals that wouldn’t be safe around chickens. A lot more people don’t have the time or energy to modify their yard to actually be a reasonable enclosure for a chicken with enough space for her to be healthy and happy, or to clean up after her or feed her or take care of her when she’s sick. This can’t be a solution to factory farming for the majority of humanity, it’s not even worth discussing.
Also, I actually had a chicken when I was young! She’s why I’m vegan, too. I realized I didn’t like the idea of killing her because she was my friend, no different than killing a pet dog or cat. I think, if more people raised chickens, they’d also realize that they don’t want to kill their friends. It’s easy to have empathy for a sweet innocent animal that you care for and would never hurt you.
I think we should normalize pet chickens, because I think people would start to see it as no different than killing 16-week old dogs.
Moved goalposts.
No I didn’t. My goalpost was “not everyone could raise chickens, factory farming is the only way for everyone to eat meat.”
And that’s a fact.
