What exactly is uplifting about animal agriculture?

Will it make for happy sheep? Unless they have the veterinarian capacity to take proper care of these 6,000 sheep then they are simply being exploited rather then protected.

exactly. we should have all our animal agriculture be seperate in more factory style conditions. These sheep should be penned and fed off feed like normal.

You can have sheep without solar or sheep with solar. Not having sheep isn't an option on the table.

Either be happy about the solar or don't comment.

Actually no sheep is absolutely an option.

But Lamb is delicious and wool is a renewable natural fibre that doesnt shed microplastics... so yeah sheep and green energy please.

They'd all be dead without it.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I bet a lot of the animals in animal agriculture wish they were dead. This isn't a good argument imo

[-] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

Neither is animal genocide imo

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Who is talking about animal genocide?

[-] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

They are fully domesticated so if you stop farming them they all need to be killed / will die.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Sheep can, and routinely do, go feral.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Is it really a bad thing to stop abusing animals even if it means the species dies out except for their wild counterparts?

[-] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

It's up to you if you're okay with genocide
