What would we do with all the animals?!


Question:

What would we do with all the animals?

Ok I am really interested in everyones input on this...If we were all vegans and no one ate meat, chicken, pork, etc...what the heck do we do with all those animals that keep multiplying?
Where do we put them?


Answers:
there probably wouldnt be all that many because people would stop breeding so many if they had no purpose for a lot of them.
But this is such an unlikely scenario so why even wonder about it?

Animals are bred for consumption. If there is no demand then the animals would not be made.

Right next to the mash potato's....look we did not claw our way to the top of the food chain to leafy stuff.

Its never going to happen. If you were going to ask a question it would of been better to say vegetarian since if this miracle did happen it would seem more reasonable.

Actually,all the animals we eat are bred in factory farms by means of artificial insemination.We would simply stop breeding them.We don't eat bald eagles,do you see them taking over the Earth?

you could say the same thing about people because theres so many of us on earth and we also keep multiplying but that still do give any one the right to kill us and eat us does it?

The only reason they keep multiplying is due to factories breeding them constantly. If we all became vegans, there wouldn't be a demand for cows, chickens,etc...

I can see the same thing in theory, happening with those already bred animals that have happened and is still happening with dogs and cats. You would have wandering farm animals, then a need for shelters, and eventually they'd be put down like the stray/feral cats and dogs.

Not a very pleasant thought, though it could happen in the country areas. I doubt we'd see cows wandering down 5th Avenue. Be a bit funny, to see, though.

A good idea would be to sterilize them, then set them free in areas that could support them for the duration of their lives. Chickens aren't too bad to have running around. They eat plenty of harmful insects and don't cause too much of a mess. You wouldn't have such a problem with them multiplying if someone collected the eggs for something.

Cows, now that'd be fun. Unlike horses and goats, cows do not eat grass to the bare ground. So they could be used around areas that needed trimming without using mowers and wasting fossil fuel. It is even possible to train them to carry things, like oxen, horses, and donkeys.

Pigs. That one, I have no clue. You can sterilize them, but once pigs are let to run loose, they revert back to their feral forms quickly. Longer hair, tusks, and can be very mean. Pigs are omnivores and WILL eat other animals. Pigs are naturally clean animals, but their rooting and foraging can cause huge amounts of damage. Sterilized or not, I don't have an answer to what we could do with them or where they could go. Maybe into areas that need to be cleared of brush and weeds, then they could be removed to another.

Look...most of the animals we eat are breed for the specific purpose of becoming meat. If there were no demand, there would be no supply (just wild animals). So it the world wouldn't be as overpopulated with animals as you might think.

they wouldnt be bread as much and nature alwas finds a way

We won't make them multiply, therefore there will be ALOT less to take care of.
If it was that big of a deal, we could neuter them like we do w. our pets.
