When I read this article, I saw the veganism thing coming.

But some things don't really make sense to me about the environmental argument for veganism.

For example, you say that the animals take up a certain amount of land and consume a certain amount of water. So the solution is to stop killing them? Then the animals will be alive even longer and still use up those resources.

If everyone turned vegan overnight and the farmers decided to stop killing their animals, we still have a sh!tload of animals to deal with! What happens next, the farmers turn all of their captivity-raised livestock out into the wild to fend for themselves? Then they'll die anyway, and the ethical argument for veganism is out the window.

Perhaps it's raising all these animals in the first place that's the problem. So how does a meat-eating society transition to a vegan society? Do you get the animals to stop reproducing and try to get their population down? Why not just kill them and eat them?

Perhaps then, the way for everyone to go vegan would be to keep eating meat until all the meat-giving animals are extinct, and we won't have to worry about a thing.
