I remember hearing a guy doing a TedTalk (?) about African ecology. They were trying to restore forests and figured: since elephants eat trees, that must be the reason the trees are gone and, if we cull elephants, the trees would come back.
So they did, and the trees didn't come back. Turns out the ecology was more complicated than they thought and the migratory elephants' dung was actually what the trees needed to grow. Killing the elephants only made things worse.
This is a metaphore for every God damn thing done by "environmentalists".

So you’re claiming the failure of one group of ecologists is somehow a metaphor for all of environmentalism?
That’s dumb.
Cows get indigestion from eating feed. Their microbiome changes with the sugary corn, sometimes they eat garbage. Support pasture raised ungulates
So meat is an important food group? 10-4.
