This was utter nonsense, almost to the level of insane rambling. Last thing first, where is any argument that backs up the claim that animal rights people are not concerned with the pressure or happiness of the animal? Wild animals left alone without encroaching human pressure or human-caused ecological stresses are presumably as happy as they might be designed to be. Farmed animals with ample safe living areas might also be happy, but they only exist because we want to consume them in some ways. If we did not raise and ultimately use them, they would not be unhappy nor pained… they would not exist! The closest thing to an argument that I can gather from this text is that because we have been raising and using animals, we should continue doing so as long as the animals are not greatly mistreated. But it’s much easier to guarantee no negative effects or experiences by simply not doing the thing in the first place. Anyway, New Zealand will eventually all be owned by ultra wealthy foreign nationals looking for a safe have to escape their ruined environments to. There will be no pastures for sheep.
