Assume that humans stop consuming livestock products tomorrow. The real goal would still be to reduce livestock, right?
How will it be done exactly? How long will it take? Will they be released to nature? Killed? Not allowed to reproduce and we'll wait for them to die of old age? Be supplied condoms?:-)
I don't have the knowledge to know whats needed to be done, or which steps are needed to be taken to do that, even if we stop consuming livestock products.

- pjc50 7y agoAn overnight stop isn't going to happen. Even a decade would be an absurdly optimistic short time for that to happen. That's longer than the normal farm lifespan of almost all food animals. Most ones reared for meat have less than two years. Reproduction of farm animals is totally controlled today by segregation usually from birth.
