I have an unpopular opinion.
If the USDA has factory farms stop vaccinating their animals, all of those animals will die. The local food systems will be restored.
The local farmer who cares about his land and animals will have to grow to meet demand. This is good.

I'm not personally advocating for the perpetual use of factory farms but your solution would result in massive famine. Millions of city residents (with no experience or knowledge in farming) would->
Except it has been tried in; in China, in Cambodia, etc and each time it resulted in millions of dead and economic collapse
If they had to grow their feed they would be the same as a closed loop farm.
Lab grown meat, produced at scale and in urban centers is the most environmentally friendly way to achieve what you want imo
Just pointing out you may be able to avoid some of these immediate push backs and instead have a productive convo if you frame your argument a little differently
But it is also true that primarily industrial raised animals, who live in their own shit, are the ones that need vaccines. Pasture-raised animals typically don't.
Because I am against the treatment of those animals anyways; if they want to end their own industry, I'm okay with that.
My post advocates for resilience, ecological health, and local economic revitalization. Things liberal minded people once pretended to care about.
A transition being difficult is not the same as being uninformed.
Artisanal high-end ag is great for rich people who can afford it, but it cannot scale. If otoh you are simply ..
But please go on a cheer for the polluters and destructive industries.
Don't let me stop you.
No, I’m not a fan of industrial meat farming. But stopping vaccinations is NOT the way
I'm pro-vaccine.
Let them eat themselves alive.
The issue is that industrial animals live in their own shit, so they get sick.
But I don't support the system of letting animals live in their own shit.
But the argument that industrial farming is full of bad practices and needs regulation seems different than your original statement that all vaccinated items die and they we all…profit?
If they want to follow idiots to help destroy their industry, I'm okay with that.
