Against Animal Farming (theory)

The theory against animal farming argues that raising animals for food is ethically problematic, harmful to the environment, and detrimental to animal welfare. Proponents claim that industrial farming leads to inhumane treatment of animals, where they are often kept in overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. Additionally, animal farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. Ethical arguments often center on the rights of sentient beings and the moral implications of using animals for human benefit. Advocates promote plant-based diets as a sustainable, ethical alternative that benefits both individuals and the planet.
