Don't expect to be handed tax money to do it. Being a ponce about it is rude (but being rude is not illegal).Factory farming (of animals): Disgusting. Inhumane. Dubiously necessary. Antibiotic use needs to be banned immediately, before an epidemic caused by drug-resistant bacteria. What measures are required to ensure humane treatment and how they are to be implemented will require debate, which can take place after we ban the (mis)use of antibiotics. Definitely don't expect to be handed tax money to do it. Though "enough" meat is a decidedly more nebulous concept than enough food. Strictly speaking, meat is never actually necessary. It represents a decidedly inefficient use of resources in most cases. And while animal abuse bothers me just as much as anyone, hearing concerns about the inhumane treatment of livestock from someone who wants to kill said livestock because their flesh is tastier than plants does have the faintest whiff of hypocrisy to it. |
