      There’s no valid explanation, it’s just someone thinking everyone will have to go vegan simultaneously so the only option will be to mass genocide farm animals, as if that wasn’t already the plan.

      They can’t. It makes no fucking sense; anti-vegans are as braindead and obsessed as they like to project onto vegans.

      Most animals raised for meat have been undergone breeding by humans to increase desirable traits at the expense of survivability in nature. Those animals are unlikely to survive in nature.

      Even if they could, it would wreck local ecosystems if all meat livestock was freed to nature.

        a) What does that have to do with Del Monte’s closure? The fact that animals who were by definition going to be killed could be killed if the meat industry suddenly collapses?

        b) Even if it were relevant: “and?” “Oh no, it suddenly matters that the animals who were going to be tortured and killed for food will be killed sooner (because it no longer selfishly serves me). Look what you made me do, you evil vegoons!”

        “Why are you trying to stop the dog fighting ring? Don’t you know that most of the dogs would have to be put down because they’re too violent to be adopted? Wow, you’re a sick fuck.”

            Okay, entirely fair. I’d believed you were, by not pushing back, not just explaining it but justifying it as a talking point, but I see I was mistaken.
