Myth # 68 : " But if we don ’ t kill them they ’ ll starve ."
First of all , my Friends , the world is not going to go vegan overnight . Yes , it is going to gradually become vegan due to a gradual shift in consciousness that is going to gradually build in both frequency and popularity ; a tempo of Awakening to which the populations of all domesticated animals will be able to easily adjust . Less & less animals will be bred into enslavement & torment , and more & more of the remaining animals will therefore have more & more plant-foods with which to nourish themselves . As such , barring any unforeseen climatic disaster ( that will be much less likely in an increasingly vegan world , by the way ), there will be no " mass starvation " whatsoever .
And besides , even if we were to go completely vegan overnight ( which would be fantastic , if for no other reason than doing so would stop the imminent climate catastrophe from wiping out a sizable chunk of the populations of all the world ’ s species – including us humans ) and if there were farmed animals that starved as a result , they would have a far better life and a far less cruel death than the short " lives " and brutal deaths they are being forced to endure today as slaves to the meat & dairy industry .
It ' s not really rocket science , my Friends – if given the choice , every single sentient animal in existence would without a doubt choose a longer life of freedom that ended in starvation over a shorter life of suffering that ended in a violent slaughterhouse murder … Let us learn to respect those most reasonable wishes .
Current status of this Myth : Quelled Justification it provides for eating animals : NONE
So , you get to decide : THIS … … or THIS ?
( Hint : This should be a VERY easy decision to make .)
