Meatable can transform pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into high-quality fat and muscle tissue in a record four days, down from eight days, a faster process than any in the industry.
That’s straight ignorance. You don’t abandon a curated breed of livestock based on some short term innovation. Humanity’s dependence on these types animals is older than recorded history. You would doom us all if the technology fails and we can not go back to traditional methods.
This was definitely one of my concerns when I first went vegan, but thankfully, it’s really not a problem at all, due to basic supply and demand.
Everyone in the world isn’t going to go vegan overnight. The demand for animal products will gradually decline over decades, and farmers won’t waste their time and money by raising more animals than they can sell, so the supply will decline in turn.
Animal reservoir? Instead of millions of pigs sent to the slaughter, thousands in free range zones where they can have their stem cells harvested without suffering. And “train” the rest to live on their original place.
Yeah, not a good idea. There are wild hogs, but our farm pigs are not good for the wild. They go feral and become giant and dangerous and do a lot of damage, and they also breed like crazy. It’s actually a really big issue. These animals are meant for the farm and nothing more.
Yeah but what are we gonna do with all these pigs then? Uplift them and invite them into our society?
Slaughter them for one last time and spare their future generations by removing their lineage from existence. Nbd

And meat is by far not the only thing we cultivate pigs for.
We could let the pigs run the farm, then document what happens.
They did already heress the document
Eat the last generation and put a couple in zoos, like we did with all species once they are no longer useful…
They still need the pigs to cultivate the cells to make the sausage.

We can keep them as cute animals :3
Someone has been reading Revelation Space.
I thought they were talking about Animal Farm
Release them into the wild
Nah. We got people in helicopters shooting them by the hundreds and they are still out of control.
Imagine how that moment would look on The Simpsons. Imagine Lisa hitting the button to free them all
That’s the fastest way to kill of even more animals and species as a whole. Pigs are really good at adapting and eating.
Yeah, it’s not a good idea

Their original place is farms.
