[–] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children) You're not considering that the meat will still be sold, and the leather doesn't actually decide how many cows are killed more than the meat does. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ribboo@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes, the person did take that into account. That was the whole point. If leather can’t be sold, meat prices will have to become higher (if farmers are not to get less money per cow). This will lower demand for meat, and less cattle will be raised. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Nogami@lemmy.world -6 points 2 years ago (2 children) It means I’ll be eating beef while poor people won’t. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Probably the dumbest boast I've read all day. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nogami@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Glad you liked it. Cows are tasty especially wrapped in bacon. Don’t bother downvoting me, I have votes values hidden so I don’t even see them. lol. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ribboo@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Cool. permalink fedilink source parent [–] redballooon@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago Meat will be replaced by meat replacement products. There'll be less demand for meat, and there's also less demand for leather. Good for cows. permalink fedilink source parent
