You contributed a lot to the conversation. No kidding animal farming is not the only form of agriculture. Very astute of you. Thanks for the stunning insight Walter!

Animal farming is not the only kind of farming available. Animal farming is usually NOT good farming. Actually quite a silly argument JP. Animal farming is not the only kind of farming available.

Shame on the operators and the consumers who greedily and selfishly guzzle dairy products and animal products. “Cattle operations are a necessity” – what utter bollocks!

I think we can all be mislead by people who think they know what they are talking about (media perhaps). When in fact they have no knowledge about what happens on a farm or feedlot and only judge by a few bad apples. Without agriculture, the world starves. Remember that a farmers' livelyhood depends on them being good stewards of the land. Good farmers care 365/24/7!

Greenhouse gasses don't deplete the ozone layer, you're thinking of the CFC's that were commonly used as refrigerants and as expellants in aerosol cans etc. Sigh..

If you know so much why not inform us? And why assume we are uneducated, I'm completing a PhD in science. Zach, who exactly are you talking to? If you know so much why not inform us?

Educate yourself. Don't let emotions get in the way of intellect and common sense. Do not be like sheep by letting other shepherds claiming to be all knowing tell you how things are. Most are wolves in sheep's clothing.
