As negotiations get underway at COP28, we compiled a list of the leading research documenting the connection between meat and greenhouse gas emissions.
Because eating meat and farming meat aren’t the same thing and the problem isn’t from eating it. I could stop eating meat today and it won’t make a lick of difference. Everyone would have to stop at the same time to make raising the animals no longer profitable. And getting everyone everywhere to agree to anything is fucking impossible.
Instead of giving shit to people who eat meat, attack the fucking industry that raises the animals and has all the fucking power.
Worse than that. We could ban beef, have all the cows killed and the farms turned to national parks, but then deer would replace them and have exactly the same emissions
Cattle where I live aren’t on bare fields. Driving across three states over Christmas break out was wonderful moving out of wheat, barley, and hay growing areas to cattle and sheep raising areas.
It went from fields of monoculture, to fields with various grasses, trees, shrubs
It was fun trying to pick whether a distant field was spotted with sheep or shrubs (it was a long drive)
It was usually both. Sheep are remarkably well camouflaged in a fairly natural grasslands
The cows were usually resting in the shade of a tree, though one field the cows were lined up feeding on the grass in the straight shadow of the tower for a wind turbine
Grazing is terrible for local ecosystems and does harm the environment more than native populations of animals do. One of the reasons why is because humans ensure that a grazing herd faces as little predation as possible as well as providing cattle with care that native animals do not have

that’s why I don’t bother boycotting the slave trade. because I don’t understand supply and demand.
I can’t say I have come in contact with a slave trade. Never seen a slave market outside the cinema
but if there was one you would not boycott it I presume. as the people are already enslaved.
I say give shit to people who eat meat and go after big agriculture because you can do both those things actually

Yeah, the deers living alone in the national parks, without trees or plants or any other biodiversity

that’s true. wild animals are.known to live in very dense populations.
they are all hopped up on antibiotics in the wild
