The only Pleistocene mega-fauna that survive in Pleistocene numbers are the ones that we breed [take two by two in Old Testament parlance] to eat.

Every day the pigs give thanks to God [and bacon] that, even after thousands of persecution, they still outnumber those who would call them unclean.

One of my few ethical food choices is to eat lamb and veal rarely. I feel that the animals deserve a life. Also, they deserve a better one than we have been giving them in factory farming.
