Instead, some current methods of animal husbandry exhibit some of the concerns you raise.
For example, animals that free range live lives far, far better than any wild counterparts. They get health care (vaccines), protection from predators, and more.
The disney-eqsue view that wild animals live in a paradise is false, few deer die of old age.
Water and environmental impacts are falsehoods as a solid rule, there are loads of sustainable cattle ranches in, for example, Quebec. Free ranged in summer, slaughter down for winter, hay grown by crop rotation and without fertilizer for over wintering.
You're confusing one type of farming with all methods, big agriculture with litte, and more.
For example, everyone used to have a few pigs and chickens. The pigs ate left over refuse as part of their diet, all those potato peelings, carrot ends and leaves, and food about to go bad. Give it to the pig, and you can eat it later upon slaughter.
So environmentally friendly.
Chickens eating worms, bugs, the pests of man. Chickens mean our small gardens are not eaten bare by pests.
If you truly wanted change, advocate change to better methods.
You will never get us to give up meat, a hard requirement for a healthy life for European genes.
I suspect that changing to better methods would result in humanity eating a lot less meat.
Most of my ancestry is European, but I eat relatively little meat -- not every day, and small portions when I do. My spouse is vegetarian. What health risks are we taking?
