On: Insects are more sensitive than they seem

[tempestn]

This is what I'm saying - those 60 billion won't exist. Yes, wild animals, so much as they exist now, will continue to do so, but that's not really relevant.

Yes we should stop breeding them into horrible lives. The animals won’t go extinct though, so what’s the problem?

[laumars → tempestn]

How is it not relevant. If we stopped breeding animals that doesn’t magically mean that we go back in time 60 billions years and kill every species of farm animal that had existed in that time.
