    Cows are probably not going to last long given everything that’s happening. They take up too much spave and resources. Pretty much anyone responsible with a backyard can have 2-4 chickens.

      Crows have proven themselves to be exceptionally intelligent and resourceful. They may well outlast us.

      Problem is that dairy production results in more cows (because you can only milk during/after pregnancy). So, unless dairy consumption goes way down, we’ll always have excess cows kicking about, which makes them very cheap for the meat industry.

      I have a medium-sized garden in my house with a few chickens and a tree.

      That’s how I oppose chicken factory farms.

        Please oppose extracting resources out of chicken for your benefit, at their cost. Please oppose commodifying animals and leave them alone. Why don’t vegans eat backyard eggs?

        You’re kind of unbelievable to make a post like this when you’re not even vegan. THIS is the antivegan psyop.

          Thanks for sharing that article. I wasn’t aware of the health issues and other complications from backyard chickens. I still opposed it on the basis of not being able to take people at their word when they claim to take care of their chickens, as the profit motive pulls you against the chickens’ best interests, but I appreciate the additional information.

            Aww that’s so sweet. Thank you! Yeah like…first thing I ask people with backyard chicken is where they got them from (it’s a breeder). And most people that have backyard chicken aren’t even serious enough to be “completely vegan except this.” Let alone everyone that imvokes the “what about backyard chicken” excuse. So it’s a garbage distraction.

            It’s a lot more respectable when people are actually completely vegan except x, when they make excuses about oh but I can’t give up x. Bar’s in hell.

            I don’t care if you’re honest. I care you stop hurting others. How about you go vegan before lecturing vegans about how to do veganism correctly. I couldn’t give two shits about what non vegans like you think about PETA. Only makes me think that their “aggressive tactics” worked on you and made you uncomfortable about your complicity.
