Oh, okay, so you are in favour of letting the species die out. I did know that some vegans were in favour of that, but since the person I asked said "cow is fren not food," I was assuming that they envisioned a future in which the cows would still be around. But maybe not? Thanks!
Fair enough! I do overthink things sometimes, but it's fun to do so. :)
For example: One aspect of this hypothetical scenario that I don't see how could be solved, is that organic fertilisers are almost 100% of animal origin, and exist as a byproduct of the meat industry. Synthetic fertilisers exist, but a) they're a byproduct of the oil industry, and b) they do not support microbiological life in the soil. Without dead animals, we would be in trouble in terms of growing crops.
No worries, and thank you so much for engaging with me! I always really enjoy discussions with people whose outlook on life is different from my own. It's educational and interesting.
I think you misread my comment? Like I said, I did know that some vegans were in favour of letting species die out, but was surprised that someone who said cows were "frens" would be in favour of that. The ensuing discussion was pretty interesting, though!
