Great plan to abolish "meat industry and factory farm" and save the animals

But in order to mass produce eggs, we would have to imprison chickens, and they have rights too, don't they?

Actually, chickens dont need to be imprisoned in a factory. There is this thing called pasture. Just let them walk around on a grassland eating insects and wild edibles. No need to imprison them.

And also, for milk, and cheese, we would have to have a lot of cows.........in factory's..........producing milk.

Cows dont need to be imprisoned in a factory to produce milk. Pasture is better. It is like setting them free, but still getting milk from them.

Actually, we wont have a shortage of protein. Vegetables, nuts, grains, insects, milk, eggs - they all have protein.

If a cow dies, it is not a waste. It can be converted into fertilizer or fed to wild animals.

Surplus in cows can be controlled by separating males from females on pasture farms from time to time, and in nature it is controlled by predators.

I think that its due to the difference in brain size. Insects have much much smaller brain. If I had to choose between cows and insects, I would go for insects. 

That being said, we need to divide the land between ourselves and animals. Currently, plenty of land is used on animals to produce meat from them. If that land is transformed into pasture for milk and eggs, and some of it for plant production, and some of it being free and given to animals, that would be great.

Actually, no. There is a good amount of farmers choosing pasture over factory farm.

The production rates arent significantly different.

We need less than 800 million cows to get enough cow milk for all humans. Currently, we have over 1 billion due to meat demand.

We have multiplied the cows too much. There is too many of them. Since we dont need them all, we can set free those who are surplus.

Of course, people becoming vegetarians would make farmers focus on milk production. Also, buying milk that comes from pasture farms would help too.

Since vegetables usually produce at least double the amount of food per acre than cows, we will not be in any food deficit. We will end up in surplus if we convert more land to vegetable farming as opposed to cow farming.

Milk cows live on farms. They are milked twice a day in a barn then put out to pasture. 

people need the right to buy as much food as possible

If this plan takes action, it would take away many rights from many people.

In that case, they should become vegetarian. Vegetarian food is much cheaper than meat and doesnt spoil as quickly.

I doubt it would take away any rights. It is on voluntary basis. No one has to become a vegetarian or stop eating meat or stop factory farming. However, a farmer has every right to stop factory farming if he chooses. And buyer has every right to stop buying meat, if he chooses.

then give out solutions that require the mass production of animals

No, I already said we only need 700 million cows for milk, but we have over a billion.

Meat wont be replaced by milk and eggs, but by plants and milk and eggs. Out of those 3, plants are dominant.

Of course, we could replace milk and eggs with insects, but until I see more insect farms and eating insects is not being looked down upon, I will rule out insects as a solution.

enforcing that would be taking away American rights

have to mass produce milk and eggs, therefore farming cows, and chickens in factories

Also the fact that killing insects would hurt their feelings, and make them suffer

high demand from the American people

Surely a less of an evil than killing a cow.

Unless of course americans agree that one liter of milk daily is enough. That being said, 0.6 liters is usually enough, but I feel generous.

Making a law, on how much someone can eat or drink in one day, is taking freedom away.

We will also end up with either millions of surplus cows, or millions of gallons of surplus milk.

I clearly said "if they agree", not "they must agree". Each individual has freedom to disagree and do what he pleases.

So are you saying we should encourage, people to live this way, and not make it a plan to abolish it/make it illegal?

The plan is to encourage people to live this way.

The way I see it,

if everyone agrees to not eat meat, then the meat industry will be abolished as no one will eat meat.

If plenty of people agree not to eat meat, farmers will reduce the number of cows they have.

In this case, meat industry will be reduced.

The plan is not "to make it illegal" in any sense.

What’s your opinion on cultured meat?

So why don't we predate upon them and control them?

Well, because some people like to overthink the fact that we are omnivorous animals.

Is being slowly mauled to death by a pack of wolves any nicer that being killed in an abattoir?

And where is all this unused pasture and where are all the predators?

They were created for human consumption

Not originally...
