    Thank you.

    Just cutting back the subsidies would kill off a good portion of the industrial grade producers.

    It would be, nonetheless, very good to actively support small scale family farms, where better practices are often used and simpler to implement and supervise.

      Yes, we should subsidize small-scale oil producers in the Arctic. And artesian cobalt mines in the DRC. /s

      No, the tax would be temporary. We need to increase the carbon tax over time as a means to phase it out. We dont need carbon energy. Likewise, we need to increase animal ag taxes until its phased out. We don’t need to eat animals. What we need to do is stop this unjustifiable, harmful activities.

        Yes, lets forbid people that still strive for self sustenance, with small scale farming and animal rearing, to make an independent living.

        Get your head out of your ass for a moment and when the oxygen rushes back to your brain realize animals are much more than meat and are an integral part of well managed and sustainable systems.

        Animals make use of crops by-products otherwise wasted, manage vegetation and provide fertilizers, just off the top of my head.

        And there are regions where no suitable crops can be planted and instead animals are the only means of survival and sustenance for people.

        Back off and let people live.

        There are better hills to die on than to persecute traditional farming.
