There is nothing anti vegan in killing pests. Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. It's not practical to live with pests.

The milk industry isn't very pleasant and there are plenty of good quality substitutes. Milk is perfect for taking a 35kg calf and turning it into a 350kg cow, but even cows don't drink milk after 9 months. It might be useful to drink it it an extreme poverty situation, but for most of the developed world, plant based "milks" are better for us.

The factory egg production system kills millions of male chicks at birth, and keeps lots of birds in awful conditions, and there is no need. It's possible to live a good life without that cruelty and exploitation.

22 years eating a vegan diet. Perfectly happy and healthy on it.

Thanks for the appreciation

Like in the UK Snowdonia and the Brecons, The Yorkshire Dales, The Highlands. Then New Zealand and Australia? large swathes of Africa. etc.

There is a reason why historically certain countries, regions & farms have farmed particular produce. Whether geographic or meteorological. What is suitable for one is not necessarily suitable for the other.

Throw in climate change and the fact that there will be an estimated further 2 billion in the world by 2050. Good luck with that

As for the grain that is grown for feeding animals, yes a significant proportion could be used to feed humans but again like some meat, the quality is not great

Unless of course everyone wants to continue with the deforestation of rainforests

Staying healthy is just taking the longest possible way to die

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

It's absolutely the case that some land is more suitable for turning into food through meat and milk production, goats in rocky and hilly terrain for example.

80% of soya grown is used to feed livestock and we currently deforest to allow that soya to grow. But a vegan diet uses anything from a fifth to a twentieth of the land that a non-vegan diet does, and far, far less water and methane/co2 emissions.

There is no need to use so many billions of acres of land fit for vegetable and good quality plant production for meat production. Sustainability of life on the planet could well depend that we don't.

Those 'backward' peoples dotted around the globe have the right idea. If you take something from nature, respect it, leave it with its dignity even in death, and give something back.

Not too confident that the behemoth, fattybumbum creating, industrialised, profit-driven, junk obsessed meat industry does that.
