Fragile Do Not Bend Mar 2017 10:28pm, 9 Mar 2017 1,600 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend My views on the ethics of meat eating are the same as Kinky's (but I do have to admit I could be a more responsible consumer). Those people who say that all the land used for raising meat animals should be used for growing crops instead - I'd love to know how how they propose that ploughs and harvesters are going to manage the hills that a lot of sheep are kept on.

Flatlander Mar 2017 8:00am, 10 Mar 2017 716 posts	Quote Pin Flatlander Excellent post by Kinky which illustrates how important it is to consider the wider implications of what we do, and how one aspect of how one lives cannot be considered in isolation but has a chain reaction leading to multiple effects in other areas. Well written.

KinkyS Mar 2017 8:46am, 10 Mar 2017 17,400 posts	Quote Pin KinkyS I suppose in the end, everything we do is a choice and every choice has a consequence. The vegan who chooses to have several children and drives to work is likely having a bigger impact than an occasional meat eater who is childfree and walks to work, but there's nothing wrong with having children or driving! Avoiding leather is one approach to minimising animal use, but if the alternative is non-renewable petrochemical-based synthetics or non-organic non-fairtrade cotton that damages people and the environment then maybe renewable leather is not such a bad option after all? Balance and awareness, in life as in yoga
