To be clear, that's a yes on genocide, cloaked by eugenics.
I can only assume you view farmers has evil since they are the ones breeding these animals.
You believe all farm animals are treated poorly and spend their lives suffering or are willing to genocide them all because some are based on information that either you cherry picked or was cherry picked for you. Likely the later
You belief without doubt these animals would rather not exist than be born. That alone more closely aligns you with "the wrong side of history" -- I am unaware of any reports on animals mass suiciding so I'm guessing they are happier than humans, who coincidently commit suicide a large rates...maybe we should cull that herd instead, they are the ones responsible for deforesting the Amazon. I know you'd rather blame the existence of animals but I'm not aware of any cows reasonable for cutting down trees.
The reality is that you care more about how these animals make you feel than how they feel. You've clearly never asked a pig if it wanted to die.
You may be surprised to know that if you were to chase a pig with knife while calmly explaining it's what's best for her, she would be content to trample you rather than accept your mercy killing for being of a sullied bloodline.
I'm not saying we kill every pig tomorrow. I'm saying we stop raping them to balloon their populations to absurd numbers which are inherently unsustainable. You think it's genocide not to artificially inseminate billions of pigs?
Raping? You think farmers are raping their cows? That's the hysteria I was referring to earlier.
Vegans find a talking point that causes them to upset themselves and demands everyone else see it from their perspective. It's emotionally manipulative at best.
Personally, I find it hilarious how you've upset yourself over imagined grievances. Watching a new religion being created in real time is fascinating. Dogma forming and shifting to fill the voids of logic. Sociologically, amazing.
There also aren't a billion pigs in the world. Billions of chickens, yes. Billions of cows, yes. Around three quarters of a billion pigs.
Your inability to do some basic research on your position is incredible. Feelings over facts. Emotions over reason. Project these failings in the other.
If putting bull sperm on the end of a stick and ramming it up a cow's vagina isn't rape then nothing is.
If we apply the definition of rape we use for humans to animals, most animals are rapists. There's not a lot of consent in the animal kingdom.
If you require consent for all interactions then you too are involved in rape when you purchase grains that did not consent to being harvested.
The entire concept is, again, hysterics because extrapolated to the next level it's clear the only choice to prevent the suffering of an other does not exist. Even your death will result in the death of billions of bacteria.
