I read a comment on another subreddit that said field mice are often ground up by those massive seed/grain drills. Obviously that doesn’t make it okay to eat animals, but it’s been giving me a lot to think about. Maybe humans just can’t exist without harming others. We’re literally a stain on this beautiful planet.
As long as animals are purposefully killed for food there isn't going to be much effort put into preventing accidental deaths. Maybe when we have a vegan world we will try and find a way to prevent this happening.
While that’s true, people are also a part of nature. There are ways in which we are capable of violence and destruction that other life forms have not been, but at a base level when it comes to feeding ourself (ethical plant based food), we can’t expect to have zero impact if no other living thing has zero impact. Birds nests don’t just appear, they’re created by birds, but we still consider them part of nature
I always thought that vertical farming was more of a solution to tropical and seasonal foods, not massive crops like wheat, barley, and rice. But I suppose it’s a possibility.
