Vegan here.
While I'd argue that stopping to consume meat/dairy/eggs has more impact on animal lives and the planet than stopping almonds because bee are used in pollination, I'm still interested in how these bees a exploited/harmed.
You seem to know more than me on this topic, could you please elaborate?
- dogma1138 9y agoUnless you grow your own vegetables and produce your own fertilizer you are eating plants that grow on bone and blood. This holds true especially if you are buying organic produce which does not use non-organic fertilizers.
- cies 9y agoI was talking about bees harm.
- chrisseaton 9y agoI think bee keepers amputate the wings of queen bees, for example.
- cies 9y agoPlease read the thread. Bee harm in producing almond, we're talking about. Yes, it's a bit of a fringe discussion. :) But that's quite common in veganism.
- rsynnott 9y agoThe EU at least banned blood and bone meal from use as agricultural fertiliser (due to major restrictions on animal byproducts in the wake of BSE), though I think this _may_ have now been lifted. In any case, most fertiliser is artificial. The biggest use of bone meal in this country still seems to be as fuel.
