The question is the empathy barrier and the domestication contract.
How many cows will live through the coming methane purge without human consumption. Hint it’s gonna be really low; even with that barrier it’s not looking great. PETA and other animal rights groups run headlong into the survival questions that Humanity doesn’t currently have an answer for. Their best hope is looking like the Svalbard institute and only if they are a farmable resource for colony planets.
Sure and that’s an infinitely better reasoned concern than “but vegans live on drugs and that’s bad and unnatural”. I’m not even vegan, just wanted to call it out how silly and arbitrary that line of thinking was.
As is all food, including plants.
