re: #257 Obdicut

I enjoy upsetting ‘ethical’ vegetarians by telling them how many animals die to make an acre of vegetable foodstuffs.

I don’t mind anyone making a vegetarian choice, but pretending no animals died for that choice is stupid. Animals still died. Fewer, but not zero.

True. The only way to prevent that would be to have greenhouse grown vegetables. Otherwise as long as it’s grown in the outdoors organic farmers will have to control pest birds, rabbits, feral pigs, and feral goats. There are more pest animals that could be added to that list such as moles, mice and rats to deal with.

There is organic farming pest control. Another link here. Most of which deals with insect pests.
