    I don’t think you can change many minds. It would be more effective to make factory farming illegal so that meat prices increase dramatically. People will eat less meat when they can’t afford not to.

      Again, factory farming seems so, totally, horrific it’s obvious that it should be consigned to history.

      But feeling that way is something that only a tiny minority of people seem to share. Most people just don’t care.

      People love meat and are willing to totally ignore the suffering behind it. Never mind environmental impacts. .

      That would be nice, but in a democracy, no one is going to vote to inconvenience to themselves. We have to find motivation by other means than being forced, or we will create a society where nothing good happens without being forced to.

        in a democracy, no one is going to vote to inconvenience to themselves.

        Some people will, because they recognize that something is more important than their own convenience. But there are, regrettably, a lot who won’t.

          Look at the election in the Netherlands, the government had declared plans to reduce the nitrogen poisoning by the animal industry, the animalfarmers made a campaign and the people voted for a conservative right “farmers party”

          We need to show support or those who are against change will win.
