Exploiting and killing other beings is NOT solarpunk.

A solarpunk culture would strive to dissolve every form of social hierarchy and domination – whether based on class, race, gender, sexuality, ability, or species – dispersing the power some individuals or groups wield over others and thus increasing the aggregate freedom of all; empowering the disempowered and including the excluded. It is rooted in the legacy of such liberatory movements as anti-authoritarian socialism, feminism, racial justice, queer and trans liberation, disability struggles, animal liberation, and digital freedom projects.

IIRC chickens were a relatively modern addition to human agriculture. For actual caveman livestock you should be keeping snails.

[-] MysteriousSophon21@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Fun fact: archaeological evidence of snail farming (heliciculture) dates back to the Mesolithic period, around 10,000 years ago! The Romans later industrialized it and built special enclosures called cochlearia where they'd fatten snails on milk and spelt flour before eating them.

I do like saltwater snails. Don't know about the French wineyard type, but I guess they're OK as well.

Well Gordon Ramsay seems to like 'em.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

I'd eat that

Also be a nice pet with some emotional intelligence & could bring a smile on my face just looking at them running around all silly.

Chickens are awesome. But they don't ged rid of ticks, they can get mites, and they attract hawks, skunks, raccoons, and foxes.

Guinea hens eat ticks tho, and are also very entertaining. And a little bigger, hold off against some predators.

An attack cassowary is a great addition to any domestic fowl pen. Make the egg laying spots accessible from outside containment, cassowary care not for peace with humans.

I love the idea of an Attack Cassowary. Full on Dinosaur.

They're lovely creatures in their own way, I try to only eat those who had a good life, with thanks for the sacrifice. Maybe I'll be a vegan one day, currently it's not sustainable yet for me.
