So you’d recommend only eating animals until they are endangered and then eating other animals until they are no longer? Is that what you want to express?
Or are you arguing that some animals are more sentient than others (e.g. mammals vs mussels), and we should switch to eating snails and mussels only, because of that?
Wanna guess how many plants are wasted to feed animals, only for humans to eat them?
none. not really. if we are using it, it’s not wasted, and much of what we feed livestock is plants or parts of plants that people can’t or won’t eat
Wanna know how many of those plants are waste product only and plants only suitable for animal consumption
Do you see a human eating hay
Cut the greenwashing crap
Is hay the only thing that can grow on that land? Could we grow food humans like instead?
You do need to think things through a bit more than that.
Plants that humans wouldnt be able to digest efficiently anyway, unlesss you are talking about the more bourgeois meats
Like soy and corn, which famously can’t be digested by humans.
You do realise it’s waste product not suitable for human consumption
For example waste spy product from the production of your soy milk which also uses a ton of water and drives deforestation
The farms also kill farm pests with use of farming machines, pesticides and shotguns
people don’t want to eat field corn, but the soy that is given to livestock is mostly the waste product from pressing soybeans for oil
fun fact: we kill between 1 and 3 TRILLION animals a year for food and textiles.
Wait, that’s not a fun fact!
we? I don’t. stop it.
Yeah, I used the royal we.
That’s it? I was hoping to see at least 10 trillion animals killed this year… /s
Not all animals are the same. Killing an endangered dolphin weighs much different to eating a mussel.
Well you should probably stop eating fish then, because trawling absolutely does kill dolphins. Its called by-catch.
Do you understand what am example is? Most fishing trawlers don’t fish in the Amazonas river. So you are somewhat wrong.

Just saying their figure is completely irrelevant since not all are created equally.
We should probably substitute meat by eating more mollusks. They are rather eco friendly. And insects, probably.
A chicken is also much smaller than a cow.
To be completely fair, some plants actually produce fruits with the intent of them being eaten, because that’s their way of Zoochorie/Hemerochorie
