I don't know where you got your stats, but according to the fao 17% of the weight of the global soy crop becomes oil, but a soybean is only about 20% oil in total. that means some 85% of the crop is pressed for oil. that byproduct being fed to livestock is a benefit.

mourning is not, itself, proof of understanding of personal mortality. losing a companion doesn't indicate they know they, themselves, might die.
How the fuck can you hear of a living being pecking itself to death in its own shit and think “dumb bird”?
this characterization has no basis in anything i've said.
soy ... destroys ecosystems and rainforests (#2), don't feed animals, feed people!
the vast majority ( over 80% ) of soy is pressed for oil. the byproduct of that process is called soycake or soy meal, and it would be industrial waste if we didn't feed it to livestock. that's a conservation of resources.
Half of the newborns are male and killed for veal, no?
no
they're brought to full weight and slaughtered, or become dairy cows and produce milk
comparing slaves and trans people to animals is gross.
I've looked at the USDA data about veal, and to my recollection it was less than 3% of calves that became veal
hardly anyone kills animals at all, except pests or by accident
as far as I know, chickens have never been proven to understand personal mortality. if you can point me to a cognitive-behaviorist study that shows otherwise, id be fascinated
being in a concentration camp doesn't give him any expertise on animal cognition. nor ethics. you are certainly falling for a genetic fallacy.
doesn't look like any of them become veal at all in nz.
