If deer overpopulation is the problem, catch-neuter-release is more ethical than killing them.
I don’t know the specifics on lentils, but if we stopped feeding so damn much of our crops to other animals, we wouldn’t need so much cropland and it wouldn’t be as big of a problem and we could use better practices on the land we do grow crops on. I don’t remember the exact number, but something like 80% of the soy we grow gets fed to exploited animals. And when you look at trophic levels, it makes sense. Only like 10% of the energy from one level makes it to the next, so eating other animals will always be inefficient and unsustainable on a mass scale. If everyone hunted and ate the same amount of dead animals as they do now it would be catastrophic for local ecosystems.
it always amazes me when people would rather eat insects than plants. Grasping at any straw to avoid eating your veggies
I know your augment is ethical but its easier to catch a neuter cats since they literally come up to me feeding them. Cat traps are small and they just walk right in and then we bring them to a vet.
Deer kind of run away so shooting on sight and eating them seems more efficient. I know Staten island was sterilizing them and it was expensive. 3.3mil to bring down pop 700 deer in 3 years seems like alot. Of course, if hunters are not eating the deer that’s a dbag move if they killed it.
I never heard anyone wanting to eat bugs unless it’s shrimp and the like. That crazy if you know people like that. eat salad people!
I knew a guy who refused to eat fruit. Like wtf man.
Yeah, doing the right thing is usually more expensive. Doesn’t mean it’s not worth it
i usually hear it in discussions like this, where people think cheap, sustainable, high protein, plant based foods are lacking. Beans and nuts and legumes are right there lol
Yeah shame we live in a system where we have to make the choice. Personally, I think the money is better on human birth control. Takes longer to see results but reducing human pop to only wanted planned children will yield more environmental bonuses.
Lol “plant protein lacking! Alpha only eats bugs!” Naaa I’ll take nuts and beans.
