Growing less profitable is not a natural cause of death.

no, and it's also not the cause of death for any of the animals we eat or otherwise exploit.

There’s nothing natural about being slaughtered against your will.

this assumes non-human animals have a will to live. this would require an understanding that they, themselves, might die. we have no proof of understanding personal mortality in non-human animals (though, if you have a study that shows otherwise, i would be very interested to see it). therefore, we have no reason to believe nonhuman animals have a will to live.

none of them would live that long without human intervention. that's an artificial lifespan.

cows can live 15 to 20 years if they have protection from predators, and weather, and disease, and access to enough nutritious food, clean water, and veterinary care.

their natural life span, being a domesticated animal, is usually about 18-20 months.

the vast majority of make dairy calves are brought to full weight before slaughter: 18-20 months

that chart is all lies. none of those animals have a natural lifespan that long

the most charitable thing i can say is that it's possible that the anchors in the 80s didn't understand their own biases. but i think they knew. we've all seen Network.

by virtue of the fact that they choose which stories to cover, they are slanting the conversation.

I’ll do the work for you on this one and just block you.

thank god

I’ll do the work for you on this one and just block you.

that's not doing the work. doing the work would be supporting your claim.

You seriously lack the self-control it takes to just stop talking my to someone that doesn’t respect you?

if you don't respect me, why should you expect any respect in return?
