The meat industry is inherently destructive and inhumane, there is no way to make it otherwise, and much of the harm it does to ecosystems is by inflicting suffering and death on billions of nonhuman animals, farmed and free-living, each year. But no LGU has yet put its meat-industry courses on the course of ultimate extinction.

For some people, it is inhumane to eat meat in any situation, no matter how well the animal is treated prior to and during slaughter. Livestock don’t contribute to campaigns, but agribusiness does. Here is my opinion.
