This makes it seem like going vegan is the only option to acomplish this...
That is false, and I am tired of people telling me that veganism is the only way forward.
Now, I am not about to claim that we can solve the environmental issues without making changes to our lifestyle, that is just dumb to argue.
What I am tired of is the constant absolutism talk.
This comic talks about rewilding 67% of farmed areas, why 67%? Why not start with 40%? That would allow more tools for society to accomplish it, maybe going vegetarian for the work week and enjoying meat/fish/poltry only on the weekends? That seems like a far easier goal to reach while acchieving a majority of the 67%.
By asking people to go full vegan without alternatives, you are letting perfection be the enemy of good.

How about you not rape and murder animals and respect their rights to not be tortured
The fact that you use "rape" and "murder" when talking about animals makes me disregard any argument you make as hyperbole.
If someone killed someone else's dog on purpose, and they said "he murdered my baby" would you scold them for hyperbole?
