A farmer argues that humane animal farming is a sacred trade where one animal death feeds many people, contrasting it with industrial cruelty. He warns that eliminating animals entirely would backfire environmentally and suggests vegans may produce more greenhouse gas emissions than meat eaters.
And I care about deaths per calorie. I learned about that from a Tibetan Lama outside of Lhasa in Tibet. And he blew my mind. I was trying to tease him for having a yak skin on his prayer pole. And like you say, no killing. You kill the yak. One death feeds everyone complete peace about it. And as a farmer, there's a sacred thing. We nourish our animals and we care for our animals and we wake up in the middle of the night and we take care of them. We stop predators, we nourish them and they nourish us. It's a sacred cycle and is not evil. What is evil is torturing an animal and then killing it in distress. You don't do that. And the big companies that are doing that need to stop. But the solution to that is not to eliminate animals from the world. And if we go all plant based everywhere, that's what will happen. There'll be like six cows left on the planet and someone protesting that they might fart. Even though vegans fart seven times more than non vegans and we haven't measured their exhaust gases, they're probably responsible for global warming right there. Yeah, definitely contributing to it.
