Thanks, Buck! You’re definitely right in the short term. However, I think that the time frame we need to operate on is likely at least 1 generation, considering that’s about the amount of time someone will be eating meat if their life is saved by a health intervention. Perhaps even longer depending on the extent to which health interventions influence fertility.
You’re absolutely right on wild animal suffering, and I hope someone with more knowledge on this will chime in. I didn’t include it in the article because I find most of the arguments extremely speculative, but it’s not fair to entirely remove that from the equation, either.
