Do they shit more if you start killing them en masse, or something?Their bones and blood are also used. But, yeah, having enough around to support agriculture's fertility requirements means that you'll be in the business of killing them. Fact of life and business, as distressing as it is to you.

If vitro meat is the same as old meat, which it is, there's no possible rationale you can make for slaughtering animals, and that's that. If you can think of one though, feel free to let me know of it.If it was the same as old meat there wouldn't be any hubbub, but it isn't. My rationale is the same as it's been since I -first- joined the thread because in vitro meat not only does nothing to change it..it has nothing to do with it. There is no credible future for us on this rock that doesn't involve substantial livestock production. The slaughter of those animals is an inextricable consequence of that...and of our very existence in the general.
If what you're saying is true than I would have to agree with you. I highly doubt it, though. But if it is, I would never argue that we should stop put livestock before humans, of course.
If it will be proven to be exactly the same as old meat, what then, genius?
