Subject: [P-F] Vegetarianism
Hi
There's something I read a while that I would like to validate. No
idea WHERE I read it - suggestions welcome.
Basically: farming (especially grains), destroys a lot of the habitat
of wild animals, and therefore vegetarianism is responsible for the
death of more animals than hunting/husbandry. I believe the specific
example was the north american plains, that were once teeming with
buffalo, and are now effectively wastelands.
A few questions:
Is this true?
Does anyone have anything to support it? (books, websites, etc)
Has anyone ever mentioned it to a vegetarian?
Thanks
Ashley
