I'm not a vegan but from my perspective if minimizing harm is your goal then veganism is the only valid choice.
Any meat consumption will unquestionably increase the misery and pain the consumed animals had. Both while alive and at their final end. You're lying to yourself if you cannot admit to that.
Your argument wrt the insects and land animals is super strange too... What do you think the animals are going to eat until they're butchered? Love and good feelings?
- afiori 5y agoIn my opnion focusing on ethical farming is more promising (under an utilitarian perspective). If the focus is to reduce suffering and exploitation of animals the best action is to ban the most cruel practices by law pushing stricter ethical standards. People will continue to eat meat everywhere they can afford it (maybe less, maybe more) veganism is not going to change that.
