none of your stats showed veal production in nz.
each of my statements is a verifiable fact. your reaction here smacks of a horse laugh fallacy.
these are all just platitudes. it doesn't change the truth of what I've said.
supply and demand is a theory about price discovery. it does not dictate market production.
whether and animal is killed entirely up to the person doing the killing. whether I buy meat or not does not change what that person decides. I can't be responsible for the actions of somebody else.
no, they're not. an action in the future cannot cause an event in the past.
have a nice day
doesn't look like any of them become veal at all in nz.
I don't know where you got your stats, but according to the fao 17% of the weight of the global soy crop becomes oil, but a soybean is only about 20% oil in total. that means some 85% of the crop is pressed for oil. that byproduct being fed to livestock is a benefit.
mourning is not, itself, proof of understanding of personal mortality. losing a companion doesn't indicate they know they, themselves, might die.
How the fuck can you hear of a living being pecking itself to death in its own shit and think “dumb bird”?
this characterization has no basis in anything i've said.
treating animals like animals is absolutely appropriate
