This is getting out of hand. What's next? We're gonna name and shame individual cows?
@lemmeout @realitista what's next is the eco terrorist crowd wants people to eat bugs and dead bodies rather than cows...
...if cows weren't raised for milk and food what does these Ecoscammers expect - ok we won't eat them, but their farts blow holes in the ozone layer... so if we stop eating them are we just going to kill the cows so they stop producing methane? These Eco people want to kill more cows than a hungry truck driver. All livestock.
I'll stick to cows. (Sorry!)
Do you think cows magically appear out of thin air? We breed them specifically to be eaten/milked. If we stop eating them, there will simply be less breeding. It's not like we have to kill a surplus, we just "empty our stockpile" and don't breed more.
@Thavron I fully believe cows appear out of thin air. It wasn't that many hundred years ago that people though butterflies spontaneously poofed into existence, until a lady drew their life cycle. Just 400 years ago people though mice spontaneously poofed into existence from disgarded rags.
