Myth #65: “But if we don’t eat them, they will eat us.”
This argument really makes no sense whatsoever … The reason why humans raise and “harvest” animals like cows & pigs & chickens is because they are docile beings who are primarily (if not solely) herbivorous. As such, they pose absolutely no threat to us humans now, nor would they pose any threat to us if we stopped breeding, abusing & murdering them en masse.
Current status of this Myth: Impugned
Justification it provides for eating animals: NONE
