You can give southern California to anyone you choose. I think it is mostly a post-apocalyptic hell hole (and I grew up there).
The rest of your post is interesting, I think, because it illustrates how far apart our world views are. When I talk about no one eating animals or drinking cows' milk, I am not imagining that all the animals we have now will be let loose suddenly to fend for themselves, or slaughtered. I am thinking of not breeding them in the first place, and letting the ones alive who are alive out their natural lives in peace, on farm sanctuaries. I realize this is utopian and not probable, but it is something I would like.
Your world view, from what you wrote in the post, seems to reflect that we will always have all of these farm animals, and that if we don't (mostly) mistreat and then eat them, they will suffer and die. Well, they are already suffering and dying. Incidentally, that cow who is producing 100 pounds of milk is doing that because she is a milk producing beast of burden, probably with the help of bovine growth hormones. Cows living in the wild do not naturally produce that much. So a cow not giving milk to the very nice dairy farmer like yourself would quickly revert to just producing enough for her calf. |
