Humans do not follow the cycle of nature. We kill animals enmasse, we displace species from their natural environment, we have an abundance of food that choose not to consume simply because we don’t want to, we destroy and pollute the environment, I could go on.
So it makes no sense to use the laws of nature and compare us to other animals in order to argue that it’s okay to treat our fellow creatures this way.
“But lions eat meat!” Lions aren’t keeping millions of gazelle captive, polluting the environment, and not even using all that they get from the animals they kill.
We used to live in harmony with nature, and we still do in some places.
We're choosing to live as though nature doesn't matter, and animal agriculture is maybe one of the biggest examples of that. We can't use nature as an excuse to support an industry that destroys it.
We're making a choice to cause harm, and we can make a better one.
