Yes, I think you should find the idea of having hundreds of square kilometers of land covered in glass and plastic at least disturbing.

And having exotic products shipped from their origin country and have it be expensive is an efficient way to control demand. But we have no time for reasonable solutions, so let's instead introduce species with the potencial to become invasive or taxing to the foreign environment beyond what local cultures are.

The presence and use of animals in a farming setting, to the extent of my knowledge and understanding, is among the list of best practices available.

And yes, you are dog whisling, from the moment you insinuated I was making my argument a witch hunt on vegans. You are trying to elicit a prescribed response from by actively introducing a completely unrelated topic into the conversation.

We diverge on views and that is fine. I'm not waging a debate to move an audience nor you.

I stated greenhouses consume more resources, on all levels, due to poor practices.

You understand that, by default, raising animals, regardless of setting or purpose, is wrong.

Understood.
