Oh sure, very possibly or even likely. But what's the alternative? As far as I can see, it's either these animals being butchered for profit or basically going extinct. All bad options
Edit: I went back to read the title from the image. The "vegan" label on there is very pointed. Seems derogatory.
The comments here had me expecting a Save Toby type of thing. Look it up! It was both funny and quite messed up! Much worse than this.
Personally, I'm seeing this a little differently. Small animal farms don't exactly earn a lot of money. If people are only willing to pay for meat, then those animals really have to be slaughtered and sold. There's no financially viable alternative. Especially given that it costs real money to care for a single large animal like a cow or horse. I can confidently say that $50 per month is quite low for the cost of a single cow.
Don't eat meat! That's the solution, right? If the world stops eating meat, then those farm raised animals won't be slaughtered for food. Great! But then those same farms still need to produce food and won't carry live stock. Which means that those animals simply wouldn't exist going forward. Lots more plants and fast fewer animals. There are other reasons why that's probably a good thing but it's a tangent.
If you want these animals to be farm raised and simply live a long, happy life, then paying a farm to keep them seems like a good option to me.
Huh. Why??
