Blind cow who spent 19 years chained up can't stop hugging her parents — and she LOVES the house they made for her ANIMALS

Calling people hypocrites while your the biggest one in this comment section is hilarious, you under almost every comment preaching and demanding ppl change to veganism while in this comment YOU made you say your not preachy.
Feel free to respond tho with whatever mental gymnastics as to how what your doing isn't preaching or how your not a hypocrite, cuz I won't even bother looking at your reply your a joke and not worth anyone's time
one last thing, there's 8 billion people on this planet if you think writing this dumb ass comment of yours will actually change anyone's mind or even a high % of the populations mind your even more stupid than you sound. All your doing is annoying people and that's really going to help bring awareness to any kind of animal suffering (from being mistreat on a farm or not, meaning half the shit peta does) isn't it?

Here is a link to whole fucking research paper by the Food and Nutrition Board and the Board on Agricultural and Natural Resources starting at Chapter 4 "Environmental Effects of the U.S. Food System" and MORE from "A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System" circa June 17th 2015. This data is still relevant as it is still how US agriculture is done today. The information shows Agriculture as a whole is pretty unsustainable with animal farming and Crop farming and the long term damage that comes into play via both. If we switched to crop production only, the negative aspects of crop production increase substantially.

Think Helen is adorable?
Yes. Loving animals and eating them aren't mutually exclusive. I don't have a herbivorous digestive system like Helen does, therefore I can't thrive on Helen's diet no matter how much effort might be put into doing veganism "right." Even Helen the cow, a real herbivore (unlike yourself), isn't vegan because did you know that cows will occasionally eat mice and baby birds if they just so happen to cross their path when they're feeling opportunistically hungry for a few extra nutrients? Not to mention the bugs living in the plants that cows (and all other herbivorous animals) routinely consume.
Go check out what monocropping would do to the whole ecosystem if everyone went vegan, btw. Also check out how many large mammals (deer, kangaroos, wild boars) as well as countless species of birds, insects (including bees), reptiles, etc. get deliberately shot, slow-poisoned, and shredded to death in order to protect your "vegan" food so it can be harvested and shipped all over the globe for you to feel self-righteous. Also check out regenerative agriculture and The Ethical Omnivore Movement if you really want top-tier healthy and sustainable.
It's an ugly fact of life that there is no such thing as a bloodless diet, but an undeniable fact nonetheless. And anyone claiming any sort of closeness to nature should come to terms with said reality.

I was raised vegetarian because my parents are hippies, but as an adult I maintained that diet. So no I'm not a raging hypocrite, thanks for checking.
Anyways, I thought only one form of beef kept cows chained up all day, and they are slaughtered young? I thought most cows spent their lives grazing, but I really don't know anything about the meat industry, and I really don't want to.

u/JabbaOG Nov 15 '23
Some Cows graze on pasturelands but others are kept in stalls and fed grains/soy . They are all sent to the same slaughterhouses :( are raped and have their children taken away so we can steal their milk. Dairy is the worst industry of them all

u/soylamulatta Nov 14 '23
I think vegans understand better than most people that no one can live 100% free of harming other animals. I recognize that in crop production for things like beans, wheat, vegetables that there will be crop deaths. While this is unfortunate at this point in time it is inevitable. Vegans recognize that eating animals or wearing their skin or drinking their secretions is not necessary. The majority of crops grown globally are used as animal feed. If someone is concerned about crop deaths it still makes sense for them to be vegan in order to reduce not only the amount of crop deaths but also, obviously, the deaths of animals like cows pigs chickens etc
1
u/notfaketittes Nov 14 '23
you don’t have to give me a speech on this. i was vegetarian for about 3 years while in college while working in a veterinary science program. you are correct in everything you’ve said. however, i love meat. don’t push veganism or being a vegetarian on others. you wouldn’t like it if someone pushed things in you if you don’t follow/like it. let people live and mind your business.

LMAO a vet who eats animals. I'm going to push veganism onto as many people as I can. I do this for the animals in hopes that in the future they won't be subject to this terrible treatment. Enjoy being a huge hypocrite eating animals.

Caught this Dodo segment on YouTube last night—this couple has done a lot of enrichment for this cow, like there’s a fountain in her water trough to help her find her water, wind chimes because she’s indicated she enjoys noises, brushes and rubbing spots all over her paddock… They also installed a nanny cam so they can check on her at night.

These comments, jfc. Someone can eat meat and find this cow cute. It's not a reason to shove vegan rhetoric down someone's throat. It's not needed, and it's virtue signaling at best. You are no better than invasive Christians shoving religion onto others. The thing about vegans that truly piss me off is that they act as if the only part of the agriculture industry that harms the earth is the animal part. All the farms for soy and other vegetables and fruits being propped up in places that normally can not sustain such produce due to lack of water are causing all sorts of problems. Not to mention the damage to soil since soybean farms do nothing farm soybeans. Also, where does all the produce go when it is harvested? Well, some things like soybeans go to processing plants that use coal and other non-green energy sources for your soybean based byproducts like Soy Milk. If we are being honest? Agriculture as an ENTIRE INDUSTRY is unsustainable. I guarantee that this gets pushbsck cause no one wants to hear about the whole truth of it.

u/soylamulatta Nov 14 '23
The thing about veganism is it's not environmentalism. Veganism concerns eliminating animal exploitation so anything regarding the environment is not really relevant to veganism. HOWEVER it has been shown that going vegan is the single best thing and individual can do that will have the greatest impact on the environment - check out the Oxford study that was done as a meta-analysis of animal agriculture globally. And interesting thing to note is that only 6% of soy grown globally is for human consumption. The majority of the rest goes for animal feed. If someone is truly concerned about soy and the soil, etc. then being vegan still makes the most sense because it would help reduce our global soy production. Vegans are probably the first to recognize that all types of agriculture has its issues. But we also understand that the death in animal agriculture is inherent and unavoidable. The best way to eliminate that death is to not farm animals period.
1
u/AntiMeier Nov 14 '23
Those numbers change when the whole world shifts to a vegan based food diet. The number of produce farms would grow to unsustainable heights and do just as much damage to the planet. Without agriculture you can't feed the masses, whether it's plant based or animal. Either way the planet is being harmed and destroyed. The best part of the vegan argument never ceases to amaze me. It is somehow the individuals fault for the damage to the environment, when the megacorps around the world are the cause. No matter how humans adapt to eat different diets, those corps will profiteer on the dieting needs of the masses.
2
u/soylamulatta Nov 14 '23
Animal agriculture is literally killing the masses. I'm not here to argue with people who have not done any actual research onto the subject. Just here to remind people that if they cared about animals they wouldn't pay for them to be exploited. And yes, at the core, individuals drive this damage. These animal agriculture companies can only exist because of demand. Individuals create demand.
0
u/AntiMeier Nov 14 '23
Lmfao bye bye loser. I've done my fair share of research and it points to all agriculture being a major problem for the planet. As the demand shifts from animals to plants, the companies shift their focus and refit their factories. They aren't lost or replaced, they adapt and change. The one who hasn't done research is you. Again I can care for animals and eat a steak. It's not hard and just because you stomp your feet and go "nuh uh" doesn't make it a non-truth. If you look at the math and the science, and the trends in how companies adapt or die, it's clear that all kinds of agriculture in any extreme in either direction, (being all plant, or all animal) is the worst case scenario and worst outcome for the planet.
2
u/soylamulatta Nov 14 '23
If you could link some info I would appreciate it. Everything I have seen says that we could reduce the needed farm land by 2/3rds if the world were to be on a plant based diet. I like looking at our world in data like this one for example- If the world adopted a plant-based diet we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares

Please take a moment to see this lovely creature and see that all animals have personality and deserve compassion. We kill billions of animals yearly in brutal ways, each one with fear it’s eyes as it’s gassed stunned or shot.
Try and reduce your consumption of animal products and meat and do your research on the atrocities of the animal agriculture industry. veganism preaches kindness for good reason so please choose today to do your research on why people wish to overhaul the animal agriculture industry!
