    In a certain way, if it’s cruel to isolate living organisms like pigs because of our need of meat, then hunting would surprisingly be a real alternative.

    Animals die in their natural environment by serving their natural role of prey, and humans used to fill the rol of a predator in their previous environments, so hunting would mean there’s no need to torture animals and at the same time we would get the natural nutrients that comes from the meat.

    Fishing is a good activity in that regard.

          wait, are you seriously proposing hunting as a viable alternative to both veganism and current animal agriculture?

            If you are vegan, no, that would be mean.

            But, either talking about animal agriculture or agriculture itself… it would be surprising to a lot of people to realize that both models are incredibly inefficient and some cultures who were truly auto sustainable never used them to survive.

            I saw hunting as something cruel in the past… but i thinks i was wrong, it’s crueler to treat animas like bags of meat, and being confined in such a small space leads some species to cannibalism, such as birds.

              in your initial comment you stated

              i supposed that you meant an alternative to animal agriculture, if it’s not so, then an alternative to what?

                animal agriculture

                Yep, that was the whole thing.
