What do you mean by OP (other party)? I have no interest in political parties. As they currently exist (IMO), they no longer represent us.
The point of drawing a comparison of the livestock industry to transportation is a matter of perspective. I have never denied the impact on the environment from industrial, transportation, personal waste, agricultural, scientific (etc.). I have also NOT vilified livestock as a monoptic cause.

In perspective, the impact of livestock on the environment is fact. Not just meat, poultry and dairy consumption, but all the activities, supplies, feed, waste, infrastructure, transportation, etc. that support or enable the livestock industry
represent the single largest classification as a world industry adversely impacting the environment. I'm trying to draw attention to the 500 lb. gorilla usually left out of the debate.
