    Could we even all survive without eating animals; all mankind?

    Not all countries can produce plant food year round, or have access to high protein source of food that is not meat. I live in canada and more than half the year, all fruits and vegetables come from california, spain, and so on. There is no local vegetarian food. But, the butcher still has local meat available.

    I am actually curious; is it even feasible to feed everyone if we stop meat production? What would be the impact on the environment to import boatloads of food from far away instead of sourcing local food year round?

    “Exploiting” animals as in, animal cruelty, I think everyone agrees is bad. But I don’t feel like raising sheeps for wool or cows for milk is inherently wrong depending on the way it is done. Even eating animals, I would not call that exploitation. Plenty animals eat each other in nature. Is the wolf exploiting the sheep when it eats it?

    What about a fish then? Or even insects? We use insects for plenty of things as well, like food dyes. Are we exploiting them? Insects are animal as well. What about a fish?
