stimtheone (01/21/2015) [-] This reminded me of a time we were fighting vampires in a tabletop game and our wizard was like... "We need to find some cows." Rest of us "WHY?" "For steaks."

RegardsFromDeath (01/21/2015) [-] All you really need is to dip the stake into some holy water. Holy water directly into the heart of a vampire tears it's body to pieces. Supposedly.
It really depends on what vampires you're talking about.

WolfPrince (01/21/2015) [-] I'm laughing like crazy because this is not how ecosystems work.
For someone who knows a lot about animals & nature in general this is gibberish.

ciacheczko (01/21/2015) [-] Why not making it into a documentary? Giving realistic numbers and scenarios on what would happen - because certainly something would happen and I doubt it would be as utopian as vegans believe - would make into a great message to spread.
Instead we have an ignorant-sounding joke that isn't very funny tbh.

nightavenger [OP](01/21/2015) [-] Yeah.. but it is like the Schrodinger's cat
No one did it for real - like putting a cat in a box with a 50/50 % chance of dying.
Probably the realistic scenario would be that population of cattle and chicken would be drastically reduced even if we just have farms for them when they walk freely and don't get eaten. THey will probably operate on donations. But probably the total population of farm animals will go down by 80% or smth

Every people making their living on rasing and selling animals would suffer. Huge amounts of work places would go down, families ruined, people going broke. Basic food needs wouldn't be satisfied, resulting in children ending up malnutritioned worldwide, same for pets.
Not only the ranches, but the entire chain of production, including companies that make machines used in that industry, animal products overall, like leather and fur, would go down. Because, let's not kid ourselves, if those maniacs would win and forbid people eating animal products, they wouldn't stop there, they'd ban everything coming from animals in any way. The world market would fall.
Imagine you are an Eskimo and you suddenly are not allowed to wear the only things that are keeping you warm. Hell, some people probably would suffer from mental breakdowns upon seeing wildlife eating meat while they can't, even though it's their biological need as omnivores.
Others would establish secret ways to produce animal products, something similar to illegal drug farms. This would establish a new chain of corruption and crime, creating profit most likely for gangsters - every time something common becomes forbidden, this happens.
**** would go down faster than game journalists credibility.

nightavenger [OP](01/21/2015) [-] Whoa!!
Yes, this is definitely a plausible scenario
A lot of industries are dependent on animals.
There are still countries where having animals is how you support your family.
**** will hit the fan in weeks

Which must be lean,
And has a bean,

Is Pussy

tyrson (01/21/2015) [-] Or...
Vegans win. Everyone agrees to stop breeding animals for food.
We plant a ******** of crops so we don't starve after the switch.
When we're ready to produce enough vegetable matter, we stop breeding animals for food.
We eat the ones that are already in captivity, shouldn't take long.
Because we're not ******* stupid and won't just let millions of animals run wild in an ecosystem.

demigodofmadness (01/21/2015) [-] Even if we let them run wild in the ecosystem, it wouldn't be as catastrophic as they make it seem. There would be some chaos at first, but it would balance out eventually.

nightavenger [OP](01/21/2015) [-] Yeah and curently have a few wars that are ******* ridiculous
Iraq - Bush looking for imaginary WMD's (1 million people dead)
Ukraine - Russia and Their president doesn't want them to join EU
Syria - dictator doesn't want to forfeit power, so he starts a war with his people
Excuse me If I'm a bit of a pessimist

Aftershock (01/21/2015) [-] Do not believe him, it is clearly propaganda meant to besmirch the good name of bears! We are peaceful, loving creatures - we would never turn on you in such a way! Ignore this slanderous filth. Go on, do what you know to be right. Release your livestock. Embrace vegan-ism. We'll take care of all those tender farm animals for you. nightavenger you little bitch we told you what would happen if you talked. We coming for you *****
