> Your alternative is them not existing at all, they cannot survive in nature.

What’s wrong with not existing at all vs being exploited and eventually killed before your natural life is over? Statistically speaking, if you’re a cow or other animal we exploit, your chances are far greater to be born and exist in a factory farm. Is it really a life worth living at all?



Yes, life is precious.

Consciousness is even more precious.

The smarter the lifeform, the more precious it's life.

This is the main idea that drives vegetarian and veganism is it not?

To exist is the greatest gift of all. You're experiencing it right now.

It would be a sad day to see such a smart, useful, beautiful creature be extinct from this Earth such as the cow.
