Do you have any thoughts on the ideology of "carnism" and the ethics of animal slaughter?https://areomagazine.com/2017/06/15/the-case-for-ending-animal-slaughter-slouching-toward-palitana/ …
So farmers wouldn't breed them. What would happen? We'd let those alive now live out their lives & then no more pigs, cows, chickens?

Idk what the ethically optimal solution is. We've bred billions of lives for the sake of ending them prematurely. Farmers created this mess.
-
We faced an analogous situation w/ slavery. Southerners argued there'd be chaos if slavery ended. But the solution wasn't to retain slavery.
-
Not really. Slaves were humans. They could contribute to a society & pay for their own food & medical care. Didn't need caring for.
-
I'm way of the analogy, but it has merits. Many freed slaves couldn't care for themselves. Their integration was rough even w/ federal help.
-
They had that potential. Even if they never recovered from the trauma enough to lead a functional life, their children could do so.
-
The offspring of today's cows and pigs will never pay taxes, build houses, become doctors & teachers & pay for their own care & safety.

I wasn't suggesting rescuing wild animals. I was asking what would happen to farm animals. Never exist or turned out into the wild?
