Idk if they were just biting people maybe, but I can't help but wonder what effect removing carnivores would have. Education would be better.

    I think the main problem is that corporate agriculture has already sidestepped the problem by creating genetically modified animals that don't have the alpha gal molecules.

    If I remember correctly alpha gal isn't present in humans so our immune system can be programmed to use it as an immune target. Most mammals have the molecule present on cells so if their thymus is functioning correctly they shouldn't be able to develop an immune response to it.
