If Humans Were Killed at the Same Rate as Animals for Food, We'd Be Extinct in Just 2.5 Days
(veganhorizon.substack.com)
I am not defending factory farming nor am I putting down veganism/vegetarianism but...they're using some big numbers to make it seem well thought-out but the premise makes no sense. They are not comparable things.
-
It's comparing a ton of species to one. If any animal was killed at the same rate as all animals, they'd go extinct
-
Humans are not bred as food.
-
The vast majority of humans do not regularly reproduce.
-
Humans reproduce at like 1 baby per year. That baby takes well over a decade to reach sexual maturity. Very different than any animal bred for food.
And why use this as a comparison when there's so many better ways to share the same information, anyway? Watch, I'll do it in one sentence:
An average of 2.5 animals for each human on earth are killed for food every single day.
