The extinction impact of the beef industry is immense. Eating even a little bit multiplies a diet’s impact on endangered species.

This story isn‘t about ‘the world‘s taste for soya‘, it‘s about the world‘s taste for meat. The vast majority of soya is grown for animal feed. Less than 10% is for direct human consumption. A shame it‘s not mentioned in the story.

"But it's a symbiotic, loving relationship!"

Girl if you couldn't ride your horse anymore you'd sell them. If they put up too much of a fuss while being trained to *not* throw you off their back, you'd also sell them. And not to be someone's beloved pet.

I didn't know we sold individuals we love.
Humans don’t give a fuck about horses unless they can ride them.

Horses are viewed like all other slaves of humanity. “What can we use them for and when their usefulness is up kill then”

I enjoy highlighting examples of people intentionally missing the point to avoid taking in unpleasant information.

Overwhelming sentiment in the comments: but food is necessary!

Yes, food is necessary. Food made of cattle and things that come from them is completely unnecessary.
