    Their philosophy boils down to “Just fucking leave animals in peace.”

    It’s more complicated than that unless you don’t understand how many animals die when you clear farmland. Every crop you eat came at a cost to animals, if there’s no amount you deem acceptable or unavoidable your only option is to exclusively eat food you grew yourself, and that still alters the environment to be less favorable to animals, you just don’t directly kill them like large scale farms do.

        Im no expert but I hear nutrient levels in soils is trending in the wrong direction in general. Composting efforts need to become serious and as ubiquitous as recycling. Props to California for their efforts on that front.

      The acceptable amount = refrain from hurting animals “as much as possible and practicable”. That takes care of all the gotchas and the well actuallys.
