The animal control policy was the result of economics rather than biology. I do agree that there is a hidden agenda, but what exactly that is, I wouldn't know, only that it would be economic. If more people are going to become vegetarian as a result of it, then I am ecstatic . If the quality of fruit and vegetables improves because of the mistakes perpetrated in the meat industry, I will be delighted. On current trends, this is unlikely.
Governments always seem to be barking up the wrong tree.
No doubt it seems to be the right tree to them, though this is only because they lack wisdom.
