  • My wife is a PhD candidate studying honeybees so I trust her when I asked the question and the effects of honeybees on the environment are a tradeoff like everything in the world is but generally positive.

    To mirror the honey bee conversation, soybeans replace native prarie lands throughout the Midwest. Soybeans hurt the environment so therefor they should not be supported. But to support our population we need massive food production. So it’s just not reasonable to avoid.

    A massive population is really the root cause of almost all environmental issues imo. We have to blow so many things up to a high scale to support it and a self regulating population does not have the tools and responsibility for the massive reduction impact that is needed. Real change comes from an institutional level.

    To the point of feral hogs at one point you mentioned the destruction of agriculture, I guess I was leaving the assumption open that feral hogs were destroying crops as the reason for the killings not them just being feral. I guess I am mainly raising the question of if your morals ever involve eating meat if it is killed under your ethical compass or if you consider the eating portion unethical in itself.


  • How about raising crickets or insects for food? I am guessing against because it follows the sentient plus raised to kill.

    Chicken raised for laying eggs are not in bests of conditions so I would assume that is unethical to you and a no go. But what about honey? I would by no means consider honeybee conditions unethical. But interested in if you think so.

    Feral hog would be the best thing I can thing of where it’s something that is a pest that is not too far out of a usual diet. So is that something available to your diet?
