I'm not talking about "fewer animals". I'm talking about no animals. I don't see a reality in the vegan utopia. I don't believe in or support mass production of animals for the purpose of eating them, nor do I support the alternative, zero production. They are both on the extreme. A world where animals and human beings roam freely without one supporting the other is ludicrous.

In reference to Skeater's point, an interesting question to pose is:
What does he see happening to these species if they are not being eaten? Will they simply disappear from existence or thrive roaming free and in people's backyards?

Fergus Henderson's "The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating" and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's "The River Cottage Meat Book". Both Brits, of course!

Finding pig tails, quail, beef cheeks and rabbit on the menu is just so much more exciting than finding pork loin, beef tenderloin and chicken breast. It also has a couple of unintentional results: promotes nose-to-tail eating (waste not, want not!) and invigorates a more balanced shift towards alternative commercial meat production. It shifts the paradigm from simply beef, chicken and pork to include lamb, quail, squab, rabbit and pheasant.
