Great article. I agree that the meat industry thrives on the fact that most people see animals at assets/property. They dont treat them as entities who are entitled to live their life, like we do with other humans. The analogy to slavery is interesting and I have no doubt in generations from now we will look back on these days as savage and uncivilized. This is essentially a cultural problem with a ton of history behind it which is why meat consumers tend to be sensitive about to topic. But science is on our side here (I'm talking to you, intelligent, rational HN readers). Technology can solve the problems with efficiency and taste by making alternatives accessible and cheaper. And then you have the scientist/public figures in this article. These are the folks who should be bringing awareness to the masses. I think we need to slowly legislate away this cruelty and destruction of the environment. Much like the gay rights bills and tobacco legislation that has come and gone over the years. We need to take baby steps to make animal production impossibly difficult.
