Their FAQ says:
> Could a rancher still raise cattle?
> IP3 does not prohibit a rancher from strictly raising and caring for bovines or any other animal. It would, however, require that the rancher does not abuse, neglect, or sexually assault the animals under their care, meaning that the animals could not be killed or forcibly impregnated. This would certainly increase the cost to raise animals, since many are currently killed at a small fraction of their natural lifespan, which is why we encourage ranchers to transition to an alternative agriculture practice. If a rancher would prefer to continue caring for animals, there is also the possibility that they could help operate an animal sanctuary. At a sanctuary, they could still care for animals, while also letting the animals live out their natural lives.
They're couching it carefully, but the gist is: "yes, a rancher can still raise cattle, as long as he just leaves them alone until they die of natural causes."
This is... unhinged.
- PretzelPirate 4y agoIs it unhinged to want to stop the mass breeding and killing if sentient creatures who we don’t need to eat for health or happiness? We should have very a strong rational for continuing to support exploitative industries/practices.
