    I was struck by how the farmer featured here sells male sheep for meat - even though he supposedly doesn’t have enough sheep to meet demands for grazing around solar project. As if, what, male sheep don’t graze just as well as female sheep?

    Just shows how even the most innocuous forms of animal agriculture rely on murder and exploitation.

    This solar ain’t vegan.

      i think it’s probably that you can produce the same amount of sheep with 3 females as 1 male as you can with 3 females and 900 males

      I have kept sheep until they went down. It ain’t pretty. They are miserable when they get sick.

      “Male sheep” fight each other. Would you rather have that?

      Also, farming is about money, so…

      I say this with love- I don’t fucking care. Lamb and mutton are delicious. Take your pompous whining somewhere else.
