Your solution here is laughable. A couple of points:
1. I mentioned that the current laws are lax for a reason. There really isn't much in the way of controls over animal agriculture other than things that might affect public health and safety. Getting all of these companies to play ball with the current legal environment will not get us anywhere near where we would need to be.
2. The idea that "all" we have to do is prevent them from lobbying and enforce the current laws is hopelessly naive and not a light undertaking. (Especially in areas where this industry is the main industry / employer). You're also ignoring all of the government subsidies that are already poured into this industry. The government has been in bed with this industry for a long time.
- soheil 10y agoWhy do you not believe in the political system and the power that comes with that? We the people can change laws if we choose to, to sit on the bench and cry foul however will not get you anywhere. You live in (presumably US) the freest country in the world and want to take things in your hand while not believing in democracy and convincing your fellow citizens to see eye to eye with you on issues like this? No one said changing the system is easy it takes dedication and effort if you truly believe evil companies are the problem force them to follow the law if you think the laws are in adequate lobby for new ones. Political passivity is not the answer. I highly recommend reading Beyond Fear by Bruce Schneier [1]. [1] https://www.schneier.com/books/beyond_fear/ https://www.schneier.com/books/beyond_fear/
