I understand that centralized production can provide efficiencies that you simply cannot achieve with a distributed production model.
However, a distributed production system is also far more resilient in the face of things like bird flu.
All that to say, get yourself some pet birds comrades. Ducks, chickens, pheasants, doesn't matter, they're all super cute and will reward your love and care with eggs you can eat.
Nothing beats a duck wiggle when they realize you're tossing them some veggies or mealworms.
Or don't, eat beans instead of exploiting non-human comrades
If you’re against people individually owning chickens for eggs are you also against owning cats and dogs?
Are you just against the existence of chickens? Genuinely I do not understand this take, household chicken ownership is like, the most ethical way for chickens to exist.
Online leftists are so concerned with doing no wrong that they instead do no good. Yes, it is a bit exploitative to own modern chickens bred to produce ridiculous amounts of eggs at detriment to their body.
It’s also exploitative for humans to exist beyond very early pre-civilization states as any use of natural resources and metals represents a theft from the Earth that will never be restored in that humans lifespan.
But i can, and have, used those eggs to ease human suffering at a homeless shelter. I’ve used SPAM (yes, it’s horrific, I understand and agree. To say otherwise is missing the point) to the same effect.
Yes, using animal products is anti-communist at its core principle.
So is letting people starve in the street.
That’s not to jump on a slippery slope where the ends justify the means. But to be so concerned with well intentioned folks that treat animals with care whenever possible, while leftists are out there every day having to hide their actions and act in secrecy just to help folks…. I dunno.
