one of the saddest aspects of declining wild bird species is that, in 2022, 70billion chickens globally were slaughtered for meat.

While I can't verify the data here, what we don't know or willfully ignore about animal agriculture is killing us and the planet as well as destroying other species at a record pace. That doesn't even include the massive cruelty to the animals involved at every step of the way.

This is definitely something I’ve noticed.
⬇️
Media outlets have largely ignored the role of animal agriculture in climate change, with less than 0.5 percent of climate change stories mentioning meat or livestock…

The climate-denial is strong with these ones. Don't let the dark side downplay the destructive force of beef.

"In one instance, delegates from Brazil and Argentina successfully removed any mention of the negative impacts of meat on the environment. They also removed recommendations that people in wealthy countries reduce their meat consumption and shift their diets to include more plant-based foods." Never doubt how powerful the Animal Agriculture Corps are. They're equally destructive as O&G and they totally own all govts Dept of Agriculture.

Concerning news: Antibiotic-resistant genes found in feedlot waste. Urgent action needed to address use of antibiotics in animal agriculture and protect public health.

Too many . Before the usual disingenuous calls of colonialism begin (only to then justify farm animals in the *developed world*) remember where most of the intensive farming is done and just how much land de-intensified animal ag. would occupy from nature.

One more reason - though not the main one - to phase out

"Farmed salmon or chicken? Environmental footprint research can guide eco-conscious consumers "

theconversation.com/farmed-sal

As the author of this article notes, "With a more comprehensive understanding of the pressures on the environment from these food production systems, we can confirm both are better than beef or pork, and chicken is slightly better than salmon, but neither is as responsible as plant-based foods."

So, would an eco-conscious consumer still ask this question? No, they would choose a plant-based option. And not just once or twice a week.

"Food for thought: carbon footprint of salmon and chicken farming mostly stems from feed, study suggests"

theguardian.com/environment/20

"In addition to needing fish oil and fishmeal, salmon aquaculture requires an estimated 2.3m tonnes of crops for feed yearly, largely comprising oil crops, soya beans and wheat. While commercial poultry feed contains primarily crops, chickens are also fed fishmeal and fish oil."

“Anything that requires feed is going to have a higher environmental footprint than things that are not fed,”

Apart from all the environmental impacts, farming animals is also cruel.
