    we kill 3T animals a year for food/medicine/clothing/etc. Maybe we should stop?

    edit: sorry, that was quite extreme of me to suggest we don’t kill 3T animals a year.

      There are too many cultural factors involved to get a majority of people to stop eating meat.

      The best way to reduce the number of livestock killed is to reduce the number of humans.

        You can shift culture, at least slowly. I think our best shot at significantly reducing animals killed is probably investing more into lab-grown meat

        I don’t think a single vegan is expecting animal exploitation to completely end in their lifetime. This will require a cultural shift that could take so fucking long. Despite that, we all think it is worth doing and being a part of.
