So just stop? Especially for the poor exploited cows.

    Year, I eat plant based ice cream, yoghurt, custard, milk. Might be a little more expensive but man, the raspberry vegan ice cream is great. At least give a few things a try, right? Plant based products are not all the same.

    Dairy is currently free game imo. So much dairy is produced in the breeding of new generations of cows that much of it needs to be creatively disposed of. If you want to affect cows, just focus on cheap meat and ending meat subsidies. Without subsidies, consumption will drop. No one's willing to pay full price for beef, so demand inherently shrinks.

    stop killing innocent beings

    Indulge me for a second. You're talking about an extinction event on the same scale as the Yucatán. Are you genuinely for the complete cessation of meat consumption?

    When there are alternatives, yes. For most people in the Western world they have alternatives.

    That's an interesting, but completely unreachable goal with such enormous ramifications that I can't find myself interested in exploring it, personally. Cutting subsidies reduces household costs via capitalism and alienates voting blocs, but societal veganism is a bit too big for me to consider

    That’s an interesting, but completely unreachable goal with such enormous ramifications that I can’t find myself interested in exploring it, personally. Cutting subsidies reduces household costs via capitalism and alienates voting blocs, but societal veganism is a bit too big for me to consider. Good luck with it
