Say you don’t know how supply and demand works without saying you don’t know how supply and demand works

If everyone went vegan tomorrow, billions of animals would be killed off for no reason.

I have often wondered... if everyone went vegan, would anyone keep livestock alive? In the case of cattle, there ancestor is extinct... so would these animals just go extinct?

Maybe not extinct, but billions would be needlessly killed. That I can guarentee

Without a market for them there's no monetary investment for farmers to keep them alive. The leather and animal feed industries don't require that level of volume.

There'd be a HUGE culling.

The point of veganism is to try to reduce that harm, so if everyone adopted that ideology, they would be huge hypocrites to kill them.

That’s obtuse as hell. The current supply yes, but you and I both know that future supply would decrease. I don’t understand why you feel the need to push against commonly known supply and demand theory. The mental gymnastics you people are going through. Just fcking eat meat if you like it, but don’t try to fool other people.

If you're going to argue with me. Keep it to one thread. As I said in my other reply. It's not about supply and demand. This chart says eating less meat will save animals.

It will not.

If you have a high tolerance for utter ignorance good for you. You’re a better person than me.
