Answer 10

Well, It depends on the level of vegetarian But in general; Fruit and vegetable prices would sore while beef, ham, and other meats would crash, causing many to loos their jobs. Also the demand for crops would spar farmers to buy and use more land, which would spar deforestation for more farmland...

you may have save the cow, chicken, and duck; but you didn't do much for the rest.

The key is balance, we are omnivores, a being that is meant to eat both plant and animal. If you go out and stop an animal from eating another, the animals that you save would reproduce sporadically and eat all of their food source and starve.

If you are bent to help the world, have only one kid or adopt. We have over populated the world, by reducing the population we reduce the need for all things.

Answer 11

I think it would be cool, and another thing is that I think the government instead of laying down grass everywhere could lay down edible plants that don't need maintenance, kill 10 birds with one stone.. you eliminate a lot of problems associated with poverty.. sounds like a good idea to me

Answer 12

For starters, the Texas Cattlemen's Association would sue you, like they sued Oprah. http://www.cnn.com/US/9802/26/oprah.verd...

Then, a whole lot of farmers would go broke. Some would be so mad they would let their animal go loose, and before you know it, the pigs would be mating with the wild boars and we'd have to start killing them just to keep the population down.

And what if we let all the geese and turkeys and chickens go, too? Our world would be so changed by the new dynamics of nature that the world would get out of hand. We'd be lost. We wouldn't know what was to come next year when there was more breeding.

Or, what if we just killed all the animals? We could dump their bodies in the rivers and lakes, or burn them so everyone could smell the stench and know just how angry the farmers are to go broke.

Answer 13

Why Dogs alway mess all good things up again over again?

WE all die from no oxygen and no even a single cell bacteria can be freed from that too.

Answer 14

The world would be overrun by cows and pigs......ARGH!!!!

Answer 15

no space for human on earth due to increase of population of animals

Answer 16

Many would die from the lack of protein and the rest would increase lands made for growing produce.

Answer 17

The human appetite for animal flesh is a driving force behind virtually every major category of environmental damage now threatening the human future: deforestation, erosion, fresh water scarcity, air and water pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, social injustice, the destabilization of communities, and the spread of disease.
