The largest solar grazing project in the U.S. will reduce mowing costs and emissions — and make for some happy sheep.

I doubt they took into account the emissions and other climate effects due to the animal agriculture they will be supporting.
What deference would it make if they did?
Moving sheep from on pasture land to another doesn’t change the emissions from these sheep.
The question is what happened to the land these sheep use to be on.
Ok vegan which is it?
Renewable energy or fossil fuels?
Natural fibres or man made petrochemical based polyester constantly shedding microplastics?
Ethically raised ree range grass fed protein or factory farms?
How do you ethically raise a being with the intent to kill them and then send them off to a violent death?
Honestly what makes it ethical to do this to plants? I am curious where exactly you draw the line. Is there any animal that is ok to kill, is there any non-animal it’s not ok to kill?
Plants aren’t sentient. Animals are
Mosquitoes, ticks, bugs that try to steal/destroy your crops, rat infestations
I mean yeah. You shouldn’t walk into a national park and burn down the prarie. But that’s for conservation reasons, not because the plant is sentient (its not)
Those things you are still ok killing are sentient still, is part of your hangup with the animals being raised? Like is hunting more ethical to raising livestock in your opinion.
The difference is that mosquitoes, ticks, and infestations are harming us. Pigs on the other hand are innocent and we simply breed them and slaughter them for greed.
I guess you could argue that, but I oppose hunting as well.
How about raising crickets or insects for food? I am guessing against because it follows the sentient plus raised to kill.
Chicken raised for laying eggs are not in bests of conditions so I would assume that is unethical to you and a no go. But what about honey? I would by no means consider honeybee conditions unethical. But interested in if you think so.
Feral hog would be the best thing I can thing of where it’s something that is a pest that is not too far out of a usual diet. So is that something available to your diet?
Correct.
Even if its not unethical conditions, it is still exploitation of the honeybees. Also, honeybees take resources away from native bee populations. Therefore honeybees are harmful to the environment.
No I would not be okay with eating a feral hog. Just as I would not be okay with eating rats, mosquitoes, and ticks. It’s exploitation that isn’t necessary (unless you’re stranded on a deserted island or something). Also feral hogs aren’t really pests. They won’t infest your home and would only be an issue to you if they tried to attack you.
Idk, but I got this little sticker on my food that says they did, so I don’t really question it.
I think the sheep predate the panels
For a second I thought you said that the sheep are predators of the solar panels
