Uhm, how are they not part of our society? Thanks to us, WE cover 45% of the Earth’s total land with livestock, we feed 90% of the world’s soy and grain to livestock starving 3rd world countries, we use 80-90% of water consumed on ANIMALS, think about that the next time there is severe drought or when you think about people without access to clean drinking water. 20% of all emissions are from us eating/raising meat, and the most harmful gases like nitrous oxide and methane are predominantly produced by livestock these gases are 88 and 180 times more impactful on the atmosphere over a 20 year period compared to carbon dioxide.

Something like 20 soccer fields of rainforest are cleared every 30 minutes for animal agriculture,

We are part of society, and so are they clearly - considering how much we’ve made them into environmental weapons. We are facing fishless oceans by 2048 if we can’t meet some drastic targets that are fast becoming unreachable.
