as a vegan, i generally view the things you say as much less bad than our current animal farming industry, and maybe some of them could be done ethically. but given my general experience with humans as a species, i just can't trust any human organizations to run those things ethically, so it's simpler and safer to avoid animal products entirely.

    whoa, this is very similar to something i was teaching people recently! I tabled for an organization called Plant Based Treaty and we had some quizzes that passersby could answer to win snacks. one of them was what portion of our agricultural land is used for livestock, and the answer was uhh 76% or something, and the other question was what portion of our calories come from animal products and the answer was 18%.
