>the future is vegan

Maybe in cities where human livestock to the mega rich have no access to land and produce 0% of their own food/raw material

But everywhere else in the world is going to use whatever natural resources they can to survive.
I do like to hope that in the future factory "farming" will become a thing of the past, but as long as there are consumer urban faggots there will always be a demand for commodification of living beings.

It's a shame too. A well raised animal is so dramatically different in not only satiety but in taste it's ridiculous. I had to slaughter a severely genetically deformed duck the other day, and even though he was maybe 1/4 the size of your typical broiler hen and severely fucked up, he has lasted me 2 days of eating him and literally no other meat (and keep in mind I have also shared him with others as well). And I am someone who can eat an entire rotisserie chicken and still be hungry.

Just giving him access to pasture, sunlight, and forage, allowing him to roam (when he still could walk) and supplement his fermented organic feed with bugs and grasses as well as excess from my garden made him dramatically different from a CAFO chicken who only lives to get as big as possible as quickly as possible.

Keep in mind this duck was basically euthanized as he was in so much pain and his life was so awful it would have been cruel to keep him alive any longer. The other ducks are in wonderful health and about 2 times larger than he was, he was just handed a bad genetic card. This even happens to humans.

I prioritize having as much control over what I put in my body as humanly possible. I couldn't do that on a vegan diet. Having plants, fungi, soil, and animals that are raised by my personal code of ethics and the blood involved in stewardship on my hands is much more rewarding and meaningful than buying something shrink wrapped in mystery from a supermarket.

That was before. He was on deaths door and I euthanized him with a slaughter technique. In before "enjoy ur prions" He had a bad genetics. Not a disease.

Just slaughtered and butchered my first animal. How'd I do?
