Good news for pigs. I'll be delighted to see factory farming disappear and be replaced by tech like this.
Yeah but what are we gonna do with all these pigs then? Uplift them and invite them into our society?
This was definitely one of my concerns when I first went vegan, but thankfully, it's really not a problem at all, due to basic supply and demand.
Everyone in the world isn't going to go vegan overnight. The demand for animal products will gradually decline over decades, and farmers won't waste their time and money by raising more animals than they can sell, so the supply will decline in turn.
