Slaughter them for one last time and spare their future generations by removing their lineage from existence. Nbd
That's straight ignorance. You don't abandon a curated breed of livestock based on some short term innovation. Humanity's dependence on these types animals is older than recorded history. You would doom us all if the technology fails and we can not go back to traditional methods.
Oh, poor little humans, imagine having to live by *checks notes* eating vegetables.
Oh, the humanity!
And meat is by far not the only thing we cultivate pigs for.
Sorry chief, I'm unable to fathom the logic underlying this comment.
Do you think that the day the first stem cell sausage hits the supermarket shelves pigs will be deleted from this reality?
You'll still be able to buy sausages made with real flesh in 50 years, just that between now and then alternatives will emerge that are tastier, healthier, and cheaper.
Steam trains still exist but you don't drive one to work every day because they're shit.
I was responding to a post advocating for letting the breed die out. Just. Look. Up. I geuss?
That's not what that comment says.
