[Ethics] Why do people condemn Zoophilia on the basis of other animal's inability to consent but those same people kill animals without asking for their consent? Why such inconsistency? (lemmy.world)

More humans could survive with more food if we reused the land growing food for animals for growing food for humans to eat. We would need so much less land that we could rewild a lot of it, and massively reduce the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere as well.

But people like meat and will react badly to anyone suggesting that eating less is a good idea for everyone.

I do feel like most people I talk to irl seem to agree that eating less meat is good for everyone, but that's very local of course, and agreeing and doing it is also not necessarily connected ๐Ÿ˜…

I think this is just human nature, you say the socially acceptable thing to move the conversation along even if it wont impact their behavior. In a situation where the topic comes up (even staunch pro-meat doctors) the path of least resistance is to smile nod and "agree".

Animals are raised on grass land, which is different from cropland. Even if all the animals disappeared tomorrow we wouldn't have any extra cropland.

That doesn't address grass land vs cropland.

It just complains people are turning forests into cropland.
