Reply to comment by redandrew02 in Endangered gray wolves are being poisoned in Washington state, officials say by zsreport

They said ranchers, not farmers and red meat, not all meat.

Try reading the whole comment before you reply. It's a good way to avoid sounding stupid.

“Not all ranchers use poison” “Not all factory farms let rats into their meat blend” “Not all tofu is environmentally friendly because of trucks” “Not all meat” Sheesh

And factory farms are supposed to be better than independent ranchers who actually take care of the animals? “Not all X” is an asinine argument when we are arguing over the perceived morality of meat production. Try having something useful to add if you’re gonna be snarky.

I specifically said red meat because I understand not all animals are as destructive to the environment as raising cattle. I'm vegetarian but am cognizant that not everyone is willing to give up meat, however giving up or decreasing red meat consumption benefits everyone.
