Breeding controls

Existing animals should have their lives restored by us. But certainly, we can’t allow the billions alive today to breed indiscriminately, since we need to have their numbers (whole populations in fact) drastically reduced and as quickly as possible. If we keep large numbers of animals alive and then let them breed without fertility control the cost would be enormous and ever increasing … and we know what happens … the more the number of ‘useful animals’ increases the more their dollar-earning potential will tempt the unscrupulous human. It’s always going to be a temptation for meat addicts to go back to animal farming, at a later date – most humans are not to be trusted around ‘useful’-animals any more than paedophiles can be trusted around ‘useful’ kids.
Without fertility control the animal-liberation-solution is absurd or at least untenable. Even as it is, the cost of caring for the present-existing, remaining animals could be an intolerable drain on society. But retiring the animals still alive today is probably a relatively minor problem in the greater scheme of things, since people do love being around animals. Any government would find many ‘potential animal refuge workers’ ready and willing (and probably for low wages) to volunteer to work at these animal retirement centres. The whereabouts of sanctuaries would fit in where animal farms left off, on land no longer used to farm animals.
The details, however, concerning reproduction, must include the possibility of denying the animals reproduction rights or in some way controlling birth rates. This is probably a difficult issue.
Free them we must. Our energy can’t be better used than in the work of dis-enslaving these presently farmed animals.
