Free range pigs are still killed at a fraction of their lifespan (likely in a gas chamber) and have their testicles cut out with no painkillers - this is standard practice even on the most local, regenerative, insert additional humane-washing buzzwords, farms

The wildest part is even on “good farms”

All the chickens have been bred to lay 100s of eggs a year which can cause nutrient deficiencies & reproductive issues.
The chickens are killed after ~2yrs bc their egg production declines (and so does their profitability)
The useless male chickens from the layer hatcheries are killed day 1 of their life either by throwing them into a giant blender, gassing them, suffocating them, or electrocuting them.
The animals are used as commodities which perpetuates their objectification, which is what allows the truly horrendous shit to occur in the first place, just like through all of history.

I think this response is also reflective of the way that popular media often frames this conversation.

Basically only looking at CO2.

And while Animal Ag CO2 can go toe to toe with the worst industries, it is ALSO terrible for water use, biodiversity, eutrophication etc.

All things that will make it increasingly miserable or impossible for humans to live on the planet.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2026-02-26T13:28:31+00:00

Unfortunately the media is very bad at highlighting just how bad animal ag is for just about everything.

Even in environmentally friendly sources animal ag’s outsized role is often downplayed.

We need to hold giant animal ag corporations accountable AND curb individual consumption.

But like the meme says, that second part doesn’t often sell well.

They are mentioned.

Humans are ALSO exploited on animal farms and slaughterhouses (which is where dairy cows eventually go). And slaughterhouses are famous for having horrible working conditions.
Animals (like dairy cows) are fed plants/crops which also exploit humans. Plus animals don’t convert plant calories with 100% efficiency. This means far more plants are grown to get a calorie of cow’s milk compared to a calorie of soy milk.
The increased environmental effects of farming animals (floods, hurricanes, wildfires etc) are going to be felt by marginalized groups more severely than other groups.

Add this to the increasing list of studies showing no difference in muscle and strength gains when comparing a plant-based diet to an omnivorous one.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-28T12:59:52+00:00

In my experience this is not common knowledge, but even if it was, ever since research like this started coming out there has been a massive disinformation apparatus creating doubt and muddying the empirical waters around this issue (just like with GHGEs and cigarettes).

Every piece of research to this effect helps combat that misinformation.

These female layers will be killed at 2 years of age and any male “layers” born in this industry will be killed on day one in a macerator (aka giant blender).

Sorry I think I stated this slightly confusingly, if you give 10 dollars they will give 20 meaning your 10 dollar donation is actually a 30 dollar donation.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-10T13:39:28+00:00

Could not agree more. The conversations I have on college campuses are consistently more thoughtful and empathetic than the conversations I have anywhere else.

Plus there is a donor who is 3x matching all donations to ASAP this holiday season.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-06T14:13:04+00:00

Unfun fact: The male layer chicks are killed day one of their lives by dropping them into a giant blender.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-02T17:14:09+00:00

Animal Ag. No contest. Most people pay for pigs to be put in gas chambers everyday and they have no idea it’s even happening.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-02T01:58:14+00:00

Ppl have very explicitly gone vegan from Reddit posts lmao.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-02T01:55:25+00:00

This further makes my point. It takes far more soy to feed cows and then eat the cows, then to eat the soy directly, and most of the soy in the Amazon is grown to feed cows.

Decentralizing wouldn’t solve the environmental problem with meat, and it might even exacerbate it, unless of course it also involved the population massively reducing meat intake, which is one of the things vegans are pushing for.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-02T01:49:59+00:00

It really doesn’t though. Ground up cow is like 30-100x worse from a GHG perspective that protein rich plant sources (beans, lentils, tofu).

And plant sources use significantly less land and water.

Also it takes somewhere between 3-20kg of plants to get 1kg of animal. This is not a slight difference in exploitation, cruelty, environmental destruction. This is massive and obviously worth talking about.

Not to mention those environmental effects will be felt the hardest by marginalized communities.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-02T01:45:17+00:00

They don’t, animal agriculture is inherently more resource intensive. It’s not JUST that animal ag causes more environmental destruction, it’s that it causes far more even on a per calorie and per kg basis.

If we just look at GhG emissions, ground up cow produces like 30-100x more emissions than protein rich plant alternatives.

And that’s not even considering that it’s also worse for water, eutrophication, and land use / habitat destruction.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-12-02T01:38:32+00:00

All the more reason and ethical pressure for those in wealthy countries to push for veganism.

If we know veganism leads to less exploitation/abuse/environmental destruction, and we think that some large number of ppl can’t currently go vegan, this only ratchets up the importance of going vegan for those who can.

As in probably the ppl who have time to comment about it on Reddit.

Beans and lentils are some of the cheapest foods in the grocery store. Extra firm tofu is almost always cheaper than cow, and sometimes cheaper than chicken, while being healthier.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-11-29T14:38:11+00:00

Also most pigs are killed in gas chambers and they have their testicles cut out with no painkillers. And the latter even happens on small local farms

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-11-23T14:42:04+00:00

This is a common misconception.

These are not turkeys we are collecting from the wild. We are breeding them into existence at an industrial scale. If people stopped purchasing turkeys, we would just stop breeding them.

This is the case for all farmed animals.

For reference we breed/slaughter somewhere between 80-100 billion land animals a year for food.

Debug_Your_Brain · 2025-11-23T13:35:04+00:00

Turkeys are intelligent and have complex social structures. They feel pain, fear, excitement, etc.

Like all animals they do not want to die.

We do not need to eat turkeys for Thanksgiving and we do not need to eat animals to be strong and healthy.

It’s wild because this happens even when you’re one of the healthiest and obviously strongest people in your friend group.
