What You Can Do
The appeal of keeping cattle in dreamy meadows and earning a profit from them may motivate people to start a cattle farm, but the cost to animal welfare, the environment, and farmers is too great to consider the business sustainable. Instead, one can look at booming opportunities in plant-based farming, which does not require as much land and has a dramatically reduced impact on the climate. We can also adopt an ethical approach to life and go vegan. We also need to understand that as consumers, we can not only change what we demand but also how much we demand. With limited resources and billions of people, it makes sense to reduce our consumption and embrace minimalist living.
We can market umpteen “sustainable” solutions that still try to ensure a supply of beef, milk, and all the other products that rely on the commodification of cattle, but let’s face it — what will these solutions achieve if we only focus on the sustainability of humans and not of the earth as a whole? The hierarchies that we have created between us and other species are not compatible with sustaining the earth or, inevitably, ourselves. Cattle farming is not viable in the long run, and with the ethical and genuinely sustainable options available, it is time to shift to those options for good.
