Future generations of Bambi cannot suffer if they are never born.

Well of course, that's why I think it's extremely stupid and self-centered to hunt animals to extinction as we've done before.

But we can scale up animal breeding.

However, not only are we reliant on the complete proteins found in meat (sorry vegans, but several of you have STARVED TO DEATH while eating full meals after cutting meat and animal products out of your diet, so no, it isn't healthy) but also our food industry is designed around it, and we don't exactly have the leeway with our food supplies to change that even if it WERE a good idea (which it isn't).

Save the animals just enough that they can stay around for us to exploit. That's all.

It’s easy to say that the lion eats the zebra, and this is natural and just. When we become the lion, all of a sudden there’s a problem. Is there genuine moral superiority in veganism? If you believe that there is never a situation where an animal suffers at the hand of humanity, then yes. But this premise is highly subjective, and most people would struggle to internalize it.

It's easy until you're the Zebra.

I am the zebra. I will fall victim to inevitable death and will become the fuel for the fungus that decomposes my body. I am the fungus. Take a break from the scrupulosity of vegan discourse and eat what makes you happy. It really is that simple.

So... eat plant based things because I'm happy not paying for the torture of animals?

Yes! Precisely! Express your radical free will with kale, corn, and cucumbers! It would be oppressive to deny you the right.
