The meat lobby really has a grip on the culture and identity of the animal consuming public.
- exabrial 6y agoHumans long ago changed the evolutionary trajectory of certain species. There are no wild horses for example, only feral. Your argument starts from the premise that consuming meat or raising animals for slaughter is somehow wrong. I'll continue enjoying my steak, thank you.
