Childhood indoctrination

[thesummerqueen]

Hmm...let's suppose hypothetically that animal faeces actually is necessary to grow crops (despite the existence of synthetic fertilisers). How does producing fertiliser mean that the animals deserve to be slaughtered? This link has not been explained in any detail.

I never said it did. I merely pointed out that to have agriculture spread enough to feed the current (and most) human populations, you need a way to supplement the soil.

It's true the soil "takes care" of itself in its own way, but you will not grow crops in it without supplementing it. End of story.

Killing the animals after using their shit is an entirely different story.


Good read. It won't take you long:

Why I'm Not a Vegan

Is this an excuse for animal cruelty? Absolutely not. But humans have removed themselves so far from the chain of survival that even the well-intentioned ones don't quite understand the way things go.

Neil deGrasse Tyson knew it, and that's why he said this:

“I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime”
