Eating meat could be made illegal like smoking in pubs, says top barrister
Eating meat could become illegal in the future due to the damage caused to the environment, says a leading barrister calling for a new ecocide law.
Michael Mansfield QC says new legislation is needed to criminalise the wilful destruction of nature, which he described as a crime against humanity.
There are plenty of things that were once commonplace that are now illegal such as smoking inside.
We know that because the UN has told us so.
The organisation's director, Juliet Gellatley, said: Thirty years ago people didn't bat an eyelid if you lit a cigarette in a pub or restaurant. But now society accepts smoking is harmful and totally unnecessary and so we legislated against it.
The same could happen with eating meat.

So this will all come down to a fight between the meat eaters and the vegetarians. I wonder who will have the strength to finish the fight?Easy to figure out - The meat eaters will be the ones with the firearms.

The possibilities are endless but all lead to the same conclusion -an overreaching government controlling everything. Like the dems want to do.

Eating meat will be illegal for the masses while the so called “elite” will dine on staek anytime they want.

I’m not. I think it’s a fine idea. Then we can put him in a freezer for consumption after meat is banned.

methinks meat eaters also have more “weapons of war”(/s) than vegans.

FWIW, Zapota’s (sic) site is impossible to find using Google, on Google, on the company laptop.
How about a link to AFDB as a refresher?

Eating meat kills no birds.
Getting electricity from wind turbines, kills birds.

We did it to the Indians, Stalin and Mao did it too.
Starvation has always been the go to weapon of mass destruction.. It's slow, but cheap and effective.

We also have a huge advantage over the vegetarians, after we kill’em, we can eat’em.
