UK — British environmental activist and writer George Monbiot has flat-out declared that all livestock farming must come to an end to save the planet, suggesting such change is as urgent as shutting down the fossil fuel industry in a recent interview on Ireland’s national broadcaster.
“Eating meat and milk and eggs is an indulgence we cannot afford,” Monbiot told his RTÉ interviewer on July 19. See a clip below of the exchange shared by the broadcaster on Twitter.
