Allowing livestock to graze under renewable developments gives farmers a separate income stream, but solar developers in Australia have been slow to catch on.
People who kill and exploit animals every day are always so ready to defend animals. Raising animals for killing, even if you take their wool during their lives, is genocide.
The problem is that we don’t have a word for when we commit genocide, but then force-breed the same population to prevent it from extinction, only to repeat the killing again. A perpetual holocaust. We have some euphemisms like “breeding” and “husbandry” that focus of the reproduction but not in the killing. I’m open to suggestions.
Raising animals to harvest is cruel and unusual punishment but it isn’t genocide. Genocide is the systematic and widespread extermination of a specific group. The fact that livestock animals outnumber us and their numbers are only growing should tell you we’re not genociding them. Words have meaning.

word have meaning and by diluting “genocide” you are being dishonest and cheapening real genocides

Gonna quote my own comment to another user:
it’s not punishment. we aren’t assigning moral agency.
