Interesting discussion,
But I always wonder what it is we are supposed to do with all the male chickens? All the male goats? The bulls, rams, etc. Are we not to keep animals for any purpose at all like companionship? What should my dog or cat eat?
There is also the problem (although it’s not really a problem) of ample abundance of young animals that are naturally produced in an unaltered biological system. We can say that it’s fine for the wolves or coyotes or cats to kill and eat them, but not us? Are we not also part of nature? In an altered biological system, such as my rabbitry, there are *always too many rabbits. And even for those of stellar type and use – such as very desirable angora wooled rabbits- there are probably 50 individuals being produced to make that one stellar, desirable animal. Unless selective breeding is also not good. But I personally cannot believe that. The animal families have benefitted tremendously from partnering with human beings; their development can not be discarded as a meaningless spin off of some loveless carnivorous desire for meat.
Good for thought 🙂
