    While cattle can certainly help with these things, even small scale ops are often poorly managed. I’ve seen a fuck ton of over grazed and compacted pasture

    “Our meat program” Literal support for the corpseflesh industry isn’t “vegan”. If you want to keep animals away from slaughter, support actual sanctuaries that aren’t threatening to kill anyone, or take a bolt cutter and break the cages and fences yourself.

    @nm @vegan Imagine a dog meat farmer did this and said to the non-dog eaters they will spare this dog and not kill them for meat if you pay them a monthly fee.

      You don’t get it, this is a scam to get vegans to form a emotional attachment with a young cow and it will be used as leverage. Independent animal farms are a tiny minority and especially under pressure to neglect a animal’s needs for profit in a industry that has normalized it to a terrifying extent.

        Oh sure, very possibly or even likely. But what’s the alternative? As far as I can see, it’s either these animals being butchered for profit or basically going extinct. All bad options

        Edit: I went back to read the title from the image. The “vegan” label on there is very pointed. Seems derogatory.

          The alternative is not breeding living beings just to imprison and exploit them. Going extinct isn’t “bad”, especially when the alternative is what we currently inflict on them. That said, you can always support sanctuaries. You know those places taking in animals that specifically don’t have a literal “meat-program”?
